History

The Green Goblin first experimented with his notorious Pumpkin Bombs while in combat against Spider-Man and the Human Torch at the Avenue Dinner Club.[3]

A while later, the Green Goblin shot some smoke bombs against Lucky Lobo's men to confuse them.[4]

Schematics

The Green Goblin then tossed stun bombs against the Crime Master, who was hidden by the smoke exhausted by the Goblin Glider.[5]

A short time later, he concocted a gas Pumpkin Bomb to prevent Spider-Man's Sense from working.[6]

Goblin also used the Pumpkin Bombs as stunners, as well as a special anti-Spider-Man explosive.[7]

He later used another gas Pumpkin Bomb against Spidey, emitting vapors that made Spider-Man's head begin to spin. He also threw some Pumpkin Bombs at him to keep him off-balance, in order to safely escape on his Goblin Glider.[8]

During their next fight, the Green Goblin used some glue bombs to stun Spidey, and then hurled him a new kind of Pumpkin Bomb: one that soaked through his costume, and took away Spider-Man's ability to adhere to any surface.[9]

A Pumpkin Bomb was later used by Hobgoblin to blow up a building in Brooklyn where he was hiding a number of previously abducted children and parents.[10]

A box of unused Pumpkin Bombs were later found by Spider-Man in the abandoned Osborn Industries building.[11]

Hobgoblin used several Pumpkin Bombs against the Scarlet Spider to collapse the whole ceiling and bury him underneath.[12]

He also hurled a Pumpkin Bomb against Kaine, who was eventually saved by the Scarlet Spider.[13]

The Pumpkin Bombs were also used by the new Green Goblin against Firefist.[14]

A short time later, Hobgoblin hurled a Pumpkin Bomb that exploded and destroyed the factory where Cell-12 was in.[15]

When he kidnapped Spider-Man, Norman Osborn used a gas pumpkin specially designed to interact with his blood chemistry, making Spidey disoriented and weak.[16]

Several Pumpkin Bombs were used to blow up the warehouse on the East River where Spider-Man and The Punisher were confronting Shotgun.[17]

The Green Goblin construct used another Pumpkin Bomb to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge and block the police.[18]

A while later, pumpkin bombs were used against the guards who were protecting Roderick Kingsley from being kidnapped.[19]

Hobgoblin then employed a gas-goblin to stop Spider-Man from rescuing Daniel Kingsley.[20]

Some Pumpkin Bombs were left behind by the Green Goblin to leave no witnesses.[21] He later threw a pumpkin bomb to let Spider-Man and Aunt May escape his mansion in Upstate New York.[22]

When the Green Goblin was finally defeated by Spider-Man, one last Pumpkin Bomb, more powerful than ever before, detonated just below the Daily Bugle Building.[23]

Carnage-Bomb[]

When Norman bonded with Carnage symbiote,[24] he was capable of creating bombs augmented with symbiote biomass - letting him speak through them. These Carnage-Bombs didn't set off Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, and could bite into targets with their fanged jaws.[25]
