Biography
An old friend of Oscorp Industries' CEO Norman Osborn, Gideon Malick served as one of the many board members of the company, holding 30% of its shares, alongside Donald Menken.

In 2014, Oscorp took over the development of arms for the United States Army following Stark Industries' resignation of the weapons market. However, when Kord Industries stepped in as a competitor, Oscorp's stock soared.

Malick, Menken and the rest of the board then accepted a buyout from Kord Industries, which angered Norman Osborn, before Donald revealed he was expected to resign as CEO. This led to Norman's anger, who schemed to use his experimental serum on himself, killing Dr. Mendel Stromm and becoming the Green Goblin.

During Oscorp's annual Unity Day street fair in Times Square, Manhattan, Norman, as the Green Goblin, breached into the event and killed Malick, Menken and the rest of the board members to stop the sellout and remain CEO.
