  • The way Hercules defeated Sentry.
  • Dark Reign: The List- Spider-Man: Spider-Man manages to get into Norman's stronghold and download some incriminating information, but as soon as he's done downloading what he needs off of Norman's computers, in comes Norman. How does he get away?
    Spider-Man: Ahhhh—-LOOK! NAKED BELGIANS!
    • Later
    Peter Parker: Hey, look!
    Norman Osborn:I’m not falling for that twice in one-!
    Peter Parker: IT’S NORMAN OSBORN THE IRON PATRIOT!
    Osborn is swarmed by loving fans, giving Peter just enough time to mail the files to all his friends
  • Also, She-Hulk vs. Sentry.
    "Nobody underhands me like a lawn dart into New Jersey. You hear me, Reynolds? Nobody!"
  • Bullseye hitting Venom's eye with a dog.
  • Ronin tries to justify killing Norman Osborn by pulling out the "If you could travel through time & kill Hitler" card. Bucky simply chimes in that he did kill Hitler.
  • Spider-Man trying to convince Luke Cage he's not trying to steal his wife from him (the context being that Jessica Jones was actually a former classmate of Peter's who had a crush on him, much to his ignorance.)
    Spidey: But you and Iron Fist broke up, right? Because I would totally try this one.
    • Gets funnier when Jessica admits that despite Luke's defensiveness, he actually has a "man-crush" on Peter.
  • Deadpool being teleported to A.I.M. headquarters. He decides his entry wasn't badass enough, so he poofs out and comes back again.
  • In the Young Avengers tie-in, Mad Artist Coat of Arms tells a story of how she met Norman Osborn, her favorite supervillain, and how thrilled she was that he was trying to manipulate her. Cue Stunned Silence from the Young Avengers.
    • The end of the Young Avengers tie-in involves a Super-Deformed Coat of Arms and Green Goblin doing a dance number together, topped off with Coat of Arms waking up and saying "Well, at least I got to dream it."
  • Norman gets one at the end of the series: after suffering a humiliating and complete defeat he is stuck, alone with a nightmarish Green Goblin specter and instead of showing the fear and anxiety he had towards the personality all throughout the event, he stoically looks it in its burning eyes and says almost annoyed, "Leave me alone." The Goblin's response? "I can't! I'm trapped in here!" Cue Evil Laugh echoing in Osborn's head.
  • Moonstone complaining to Tigra about the Ms. Marvel costume.
