funeral as with most comic book
characters they’re often reimagining and
different versions to a character’s past
we’ve chosen to primarily follow the
storyline that unfolded in 1983’s the
amazing spider-man number 238 which was
then expanded upon in 1997 three-part
miniseries the Hobgoblin lives the
shadowy nemesis of spider-man this
villain is unique for being both the

famous fashion designer Roderick
Kingsley in the beginning before he was
a well known player in Peter Parker’s
world this villain used criminal
associates to smear the reputation of
his competitors as it turned out one of

George Hill was on the run from
spider-man this led him to hide in the
sewers in order to lose the webslinger
there he accidentally located the secret
lair of the Green Goblin informing
Kingsley his boss arrived to inspect
what he had found recognizing the power
and importance of the find for his
criminal endeavors Kingsley killed his
associate relocated all of his findings
and burned the original place down
before beginning to dive into Norman
Osborn’s journals and experiment with
his technology deciding to take the
theatrical route to crime while still
operating his fashion empire Kingsley
modified the Green Goblin costume to
make it more fearsome he also improved
the available equipment and weapons
despite having no background in
engineering though he had a keen
analytical mind while stealing resources
and Technology from Osborne
manufacturing such as an armored battle
wagon he began to yearn for a chance to
succeed where Osborne had failed with
the death of spider-man however during
their first battle he was quickly
defeated since he lacked the green
Goblin’s enhanced super-strength this
caused him to reproduce Osborne’s
formula while filtering out the problems
that caused insanity
again he achieved this despite having no
formal training in the field of
chemistry not that the readers seem to
mind at the time testing the formula on
another henchman lefty kingsley sent him
out as the Hobgoblin to face spider-man
when lefty failed his mission Kingsley
killed him by controlling the glider and
crashing it into a building so that the
mess couldn’t be traced back to him
however spider-man suspected the
deception afterward Kingsley used the
Hobgoblin persona to blackmail the
well-known socialites of New York this
led spider-man to track the Hobgoblin to
his lair there he destroyed all of the
journals written by Norman Osborn a
final battle with spider-man ended with
the hobgoblins battle wagon flying into
the river
leaving the floating Goblin mask as the
only trace of the villain surviving the
Hobgoblin opted to brainwash and frame
others in order to have them take on the
identity of the Hobgoblin including
Peter Parker’s friend Flash Thompson
eventually longtime fans were shocked
when the Hobgoblin was finally unmasked
and shown to be Roderick Kingsley a
minor character from the 1980s he had
apparently gone undetected
since he had frequently used his twin
Daniel to help create alibis and appear
at Hobgoblin attacks a spider-man foe
yet to receive the silver screen
treatment the Hobgoblin did appear on
the small screen in the 1994 cartoon
series as a henchman hired by Norman
Osborn Hobgoblin
you’ll be miserably no you failed to

brings my race though leading up to this
he provided comic book fans with a
much-needed break from the Green Goblin
and gave the series a compelling and
long-running mystery that is of course
