Osborn, has been in the game in cutscenes for the length of the game, but has playable presence. He's a leader, so should be legendary like the other big leaders, and at least one power reflecting that leadership. So...

Norman Osborn, Dark Reign

Passive: When an enemy uses an ability, Osborn traps one basic color tile of the type used for every 3 AP used by the ability.
Active: Destroys all trapped tiles, generating AP and dealing (Base damage) plus (damage) per tile destroyed.
2. Increased damage per tile.
3. Increased base damage. Will trap team up tiles if team up power is used.
4. Increased damage per tile.
5. 1 trap per 2 AP used.

Destroys one random row and depletes 2 AP of each color from the enemy team. Tiles destroyed by this ability deal damage but do not generate AP.
2. May expend 5 red AP to destroy a 3X3 block centered on a random red tile and deal 500 damage
3. Your team receives a burst of (5% max health)
4. Depletes 3 AP of each color from enemy team. Deals 500 base damage.
5. May expend 10 green AP to destroy a 3X3 block centered on a random green tile and dealing 1000 damage to the enemy team.

Converts a random basic yellow tile into a 3 turn countdown tile. While on the field, it will reset at the end of its countdown, increasing the base cost of the enemy team's abilities by 1 (Max increase of 3)
2. AP cost maximum increases to 4
3. Countdown reduced to 2.
4. AP cost maximum increased to 5.
5. AP cost maximum increased to 6. Enemy using ability takes 100 times current increase in base cost.

Costs and damage amounts obviously placeholders for game balance. Hammer Assault sort of merges the Kingpin's Maggia power with Nick Fury's Avengers Assemble while adding a choice of whether to deal extra damage with the red or green expenditure, which I thought was an interesting addition. I originally had a flavor text "Osborn struggles to maintain his sanity" for Legacy of the Green Goblin. Oscorp Backing is just evil when it synergizes with Legacy. I hope this is the right section for this, since the character doesn't yet exist. I searched for another topic for his powers, but didn't see one.
