One of the great Norman Osborn stories is in 'The Amazing Spider - Man' where his transformation into the Green Goblin is explored in depth. It shows his descent into madness and his complex relationship with Spider - Man.
Well, Norman Osborn's death in the comics is a result of a series of events. It involves conflicts with various superheroes and his own evil schemes backfiring on him.
It depends on the specific fanfiction. In some stories, Superior Iron Man might be more powerful because he's willing to push the limits of his technology and his morals further. But in others, Iron Man could be more powerful due to his experience and his ability to work well with others.
There could be a fanfiction where Peter Parker and Norman Osborn have to team up to face a greater threat than either of them has ever faced. This forces them to put aside their differences. They might start to understand each other better during this adventure, and it could change their relationship forever.
Mentorship is also a theme sometimes. Norman, with his experience and knowledge, could potentially be a mentor to Peter in some fanfictions, despite their differences. And there's the theme of secrecy. How they keep their relationship (whatever form it takes) a secret from the rest of the world and the consequences of that secrecy.
Sure. 'The Amazing Spider - Man: Goblin Reborn' is a great start. It gives a good introduction to Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin and his vendetta against Spider - Man. It has some classic action scenes and really sets up the dynamic between the two characters.
The fanfiction often plays with the idea of power dynamics. Peter has his spider - powers, while Norman has his wealth and intellect along with his Goblin - related powers. Writers can create interesting storylines where these powers clash or are used in unexpected ways in their relationship.
Another possible story is a time - travel based one. What if Mary Jane Watson is sent back in time and meets a younger Norman Osborn before he turns into the Green Goblin? She could try to prevent him from making the choices that lead him down the dark path. This would create a complex dynamic as she has to navigate the past world and also deal with a Norman who is not yet the villain she knows from her own time.
Some Reddit communities dedicated to Spider - Man or fanfiction in general might also be a great source. Members often share and discuss their favorite fanfictions, and they might be able to point you in the direction of some great Peter Parker and Norman Osborn stories.
Thanos could also win in a fanfiction. He has incredible strength and the power of the Infinity Stones at his disposal. In a lot of fanfictions, the power levels are often exaggerated. Thanos could simply use the Reality Stone to make Iron Man's weapons ineffective or use the Time Stone to freeze Iron Man in time and then defeat him. His brute strength alone is enough to overpower Iron Man in a direct confrontation. And his experience in battles across the universe gives him an advantage over Iron Man who mainly operates on Earth.
