Depends on if we plan on adapting Civil War or The Initiative or something.

My original plan (if we were to go with adapting Civil War.) was that S.H.I.E.L.D. would strike a deal with Osborn; rot in prison for the rest of his natural life or be the field leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new super-villain strikeforce Project: Thunderbolt in order to fight the Anti-Registration heroes. Osborn accepts, seeing that this would be a good way to get back into a position of power.

Project: Thunderbolt's first task is to ambush the new Green Goblin, who is leading a small empire of villains who have taken advantage of the Civil War in order to commit more crimes and rank up profit under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s noses. Osborn immediately suspects the Green Goblin of being Harry Osborn, and is deemed right... for the moment. It is eventually revealed that Harry was set up by his therapist Bart Hamilton (who would appear during Tangled Web.), who wants to become the new Big Man or Crime. Osborn eventually murders Hamilton out of revenge for brainwashing his son and has Harry sent of to Europe himself to recover from the ordeal and to stay out of the Civil War.

I dunno. That was my idea for setting up Norman Osborn's rise to power. I guess we can come up with the rest of it the deeper we get into Phase 3.
