No. I'm proud of being an Osborn, even though I know there will always be a certain stigma attached to it. I easily could have taken my mothers last name, or my stepfathers, but I'm an Osborn. My family might have serious flaws, and I know that's the understatement of the year, but I love them for and in spite of their shortcomings. Even my grandfather, who tormented the family of my father's best friend for years, and who manipulated my father and me into continuing that legacy in his name. I love him, even though at the same time I want to kill him every time I see him.
What I want removed is the... curse, for lack of a better word, that killed my father and grandfather. On a good day, I feel like I've beaten it, but there's just as many bad ones when I feel there still might be a piece of that Green Goblin-shaped curse inside me, and that I'm going to go back to being that man. Like it's my destiny to die fighting someone else's stupid war.
