Maybe Norman starts as a cold-hearted business man fighting The Avengers, and when that fails his sanity breaks while he fights Spider-Man. The idea was to have the cold-hearted business man be Iron Patriot throughout the events of Infinity War, and then he becomes Goblin, shocking Peter and the rest of the world (who saw him as a hero during the events of Infinity War) once they find out Norman is Goblin under the mask. And then I'd figure out how to do Dark Avengers. That's Phase 5 and beyond, right now I'm mapping out Phase 4 so I'm focusing on Phase 4 atm That works too. Very out of the box thinking, I like when the stories are original, instead of just copying the comics exactly, even when it barely makes sense for the plot and established tone of the universe. There's just so many great Marvel stories to adapt. Dark Reign, Secret Invasion, Secret Wars, World War Hulk.. the list goes on. You need to find a way to make these stories work within an already established universe. Sometimes it's pretty simple, sometimes it isn't.
