Description[]
The Goblin Glider is a single-person vehicle utilized by the costumed villain known as the Green Goblin, as well as his successors. The Goblin Glider is essentially a jet engine mounted underneath of a standing platform that one uses as a means of aerial conveyance. There have been many different models of the Goblin Glider, but they all basically perform the same function. The original Glider, also known as the "Flying Broomstick", was slightly different than later models, as this was a horizontal cylindrical post that one sat upon. Early versions of the Goblin Glider were developed by Norman Osborn of Osborn Industries. Later iterations of the Glider were used by his son, Harry Osborn, as well as Phil Urich.
