Norman Osborn's journal: Entry No. 1.
"Greetings, soon-to-be subjects, I am Norman Osborn, CEO, founder and owner of OsCorp, the greatest company in the world, but you may know me better under the alias of the Green Goblin.
Today I came here to talk to you about a certain nuisance that has crossed my path for far too long, as well as the two pests that are now helping him out, and how I met my annoying little rat, Coffee.
To begin, I want to tell you how I obtained my Miraculous.
It all began in Egypt, in a rather unusual business trip that went wrong. I was trying to obtain vibranium from a black market seller known as Ulysses Klaww, to use it in the construction of several weapons that would have put OsCorp in its rightful place, crushing Stark Industries and any other company without much difficulty. The deal was done and I just had to wait for the shipment to arrive, but Tony Stark and his idiotic friends ruined it, he made me lose nearly a billion dollars because he and the Avengers intercepted the shipment.
Luckily enough, I was not linked to the vibranium in any way, so at least I got away from that deal scot free.
That same night, I was walking through the streets of Cairo, cursing Stark's name and swearing that I would find a way to make him pay for what he had done to me. And as I was walking, I found a strange antique shop that caught my attention. I don't know why, but I was allured into walking into the store, following just a gut feeling that I had to be there. The feeling guided me through the several items there and took me to a hidden part of the shop, where I found a little hexagonal, black box with red decorations that seemed Chinese, which was odd considering that we were in Egypt.
I grabbed the box and the clerk warned me that I shouldn't have even touched it and that if I chose to take it with me, terrible things would happen, but something inside told me to make deaf ears to him, as such I just pulled out several bills and dropped them in front of him, then I walked out of the store while the man kept warning me that I should give the box back to him. Once I returned to my mansion in New York, I opened the box and I was blinded by a flash of light, then I heard him for the first time, that annoying squeaky voice. Coffee introduced himself to me as a kwami and told me that I had been chosen to fulfill a glorious task as the holder of the Miraculous of Ambition and Power, the Goblin Cufflinks. Naturally, I knew that Coffee was right, after all, who else was destined for greatness other than me?
I practiced with my powers for a little while, perfecting what I could do and creating a few things that would surely come in handy for the task that I put myself. Kill the Avengers and destroy Tony Stark. And for that, I started to forge a name for the Green Goblin, creating troubles for people like Wilson Fisk (or should I say the Kingpin?) and the Punisher, heroes like Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, and gather info about any threat to my destiny.
Around the same time, I heard about a kid who was doing some weird things, such as being a delinquent, beat up a wrestler, kill a common robber and stopping criminals all over the city.
At first, I didn't mind him, he was just a kid after all, but once Coffee saw him well, he told me that the boy known as Spider-Man was the holder of another Miraculous, the Spider Bracelet. I asked him why he was so surprised since he had mentioned that there were other Miraculouses, such as the ones that had appeared in France, but he told me that the Bracelet and the Cufflinks were very special, as whoever held both would become completely and totally invincible.
From that moment on, my main task changed radically from destroying the Avengers to get Spider-Man's Miraculous.
I thought it would be simple, but I am quite ashamed to admit that I underestimated the kid under that red mask.
Especially when the Avengers decided to take him into their team.
Since the first moment in which he and I exchanged blows, he has become a pain in my ass and my main goal now is not just to get his Miraculous, but make him suffer in every possible way and when he finally understands the mistake he made that night at Times Square, I will kill him.
Now, about Spider-Man and all his annoying friends, I must admit that they've managed to impress me quite a couple of times, especially Spider-Man. He's gone through hell over and over and he's still in one piece. I gotta hand it to him, he is one tough motherfucker, but he will soon be gone, that I can assure you.
As for Ladybug and Chat Noir, as well as his New Avengers... well, they're nothing but cheap copies of the original Avengers, even Spider-Man himself, and they represent no real challenge for me or my Sinister Six, once I find the final member, there will be no one who can stop me from getting the Miraculouses.
Not the Avengers, not the Kingpin, not Von Doom, not Octavius, and especially, not Spider-Man."
