Emily Osborn was the wife of Norman Osborn and mother of Harry Osborn. Emily was apparently the only person that Norman ever showed love to. Unfortunately, their son's birth had weakened her and she passed away sometime after.
Other versions
Ultimate Marvel
The Ultimate Marvel Universe version of the character is renamed Martha Osborn. Unlike her mainstream counterpart, Martha is still alive as Norman Osborn's wife and Harry Osborn's mother. Norman's corrupt obsession to perfect the Super Soldier drug leads him to neglect of Martha and Harry. After Norman transforms himself into a muscular, grotesque, demonic-like monster, Martha is killed.
In other media
Television
* Emily Osborn makes non-voice appearances in The Spectacular Spider-Man. Unlike her mainstream counterpart, this version is still alive with her husband Norman Osborn and son Harry Osborn similar to her Ultimate counterpart. She first is seen briefly in the episode "Competition" where she was eating at the table as Harry tells her he made the football team but she doesn't seem to take any interest. In the episode "Blueprints", she and Norman has dinner with Aaron Warren and Miles Warren, and Curt Connors and Martha Connors. In the last episode "Final Curtain", Emily walked in on a conversation between Spider-Man, Norman (actually the Chameleon in disguise) and Harry about the Green Goblin's identity. 'Norman' tells her not to be concerned so she leaves the room without even saying a word. She is last seen in tears while walking away from Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Harry after Norman's funeral. Had the series received a third season, Greg Weisman had planned to cast Marina Sirtis as the character's voice.
