Costume and Appearance

Green Goblin's costume is iconic in the world of comic books. He wears a green and purple suit with a pointed helmet that resembles a goblin's face. The suit is adorned with various gadgets and weapons, including his signature pumpkin bombs. The Green Goblin's appearance strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies, with his menacing grin and maniacal laughter adding to his sinister persona.

Spin's costume is designed for stealth and agility, allowing him to move quickly and quietly. While not as visually striking as Green Goblin's costume, Spin's outfit reflects his abilities and personality as a cunning and elusive villain.

Green Goblin's most famous weapon is his pumpkin bombs, which explode with concussive force and disorient his foes. His intelligence and cunning make him a dangerous adversary for Spider-Man and other heroes.

Spin, on the other hand, has the ability to manipulate gravity, allowing him to control the movement of objects and people with ease. This power gives Spin a unique advantage in combat, as he can alter the trajectory of projectiles or immobilize his opponents.
