Osborn previously was empowered by the Goblin Formula, having strength and agility equal to Spider-Man's. As Iron Patriot, he wore a suit of StarkTech armor retrofitted with OsCorp programming and equipment. He later became a Bio-Adaptoid, infused with the power-duplicating abilities of AIM's Super-Adaptoid. Next, he merged with the Carnage symbiote as the Red Goblin.

Presently, Osborn has been purged of the Goblin Formula, symbiote, and other augmentation factors. As of Amazing Spider-Man #800 he is a normal (if insane) man committed to the Ravencroft Asylum.
