Due to a series of freak coincidences, various people holding the Idiot Ball, and Norman's naked opportunism, the Green Goblin has been placed in charge of what used to be SHIELD (now HAMMER), and the American government's superhero regulatory/controlling apparatus. He's milking this for all it's worth, by replacing several of the good guy heroes with evil counterparts, hooking up with an "evil" cabal to coordinate dirty deeds behind the scenes, and working on yet more plans to destroy/humiliate/annoy Spider-Man.
We're pretty sure this will end with Norman crashing and burning, just in time for Marvel's next big line-wide event.
