The soul forge is a ancient artifact. Whoever can access to it can control over all the over the souls on the whole earth. The forge can only be utilized after a scared incantation which is delivered along with the souls of descendants for a ancient cult know as the lords od darkness.

Whoever gains access to the soul forge puts the fate of the souls of the entire planet in danger. So the demon Mephisto is looking for souls for the soul forge which giving him control of everyone on earth using the soul daggers. Mephisto is recruiting villains throughout the whole plant to deliver the required souls and Norman Osborn was his firstborn. He promised Mephisto to deliver his son in exchange for power but the demon wants more and he forces Norman to also kill someone in the demon's name and it means Mephisto may be the reason of Gwen Stacy's death.

Gwen was Peter's soulmate. They were supposed to be married having kids but in the future as Spider-Man's daughter is the reason of Mephisto's defeat. So it is possible that Gwen's death was the demon's first attempt to stop Spider-Man. But after Gwen's death, Mary Jane came into his life.The got married. But then OMD happened and Peter and MJ got separated.

But Mephisto will not stop.

You're saying Mephisto made Norman kill his girl, kill the mother of his children, and you still have to make this all about Peter somehow? Gwenschizo is this you?

Oh please spare me the shitpost it was established by spencer that Harry got his dad to think he had a affair with Gwen. Maybe you find it hard to accept that Mephisto is the cause of her death But I for one am not suprised in the the least. I always suspected there was more to her death the meets the eye and apparently I was right. Everything points to Mephisto being the cause of Gwen Stacy's death. Thus Spider-Man's arch-enemy is Mephisto not the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn

Who the hell cares what that retard and his retard editor think? Why the hell would anyone consider any post-OMD Spider-Man to be actual hard canon? It's fanfic, Gwenschizo. You're defending fanfic.

Anon just consider the implications of Mephisto being the cause of Gwen's death and Norman becoming the Green Goblin only because of him. That would mean if not for Mephisto's intervention everything would have unfolded differently. Gwen would not have died and she and Peter would have been married thus when you look at Peter's and MJ becoming a couple in a sense it becomes fanfic in itself since it only happened due to the influence of a demon.
