Biography[]

He claimed he was once a petty crook and hired thug-starting off as nothing but a punk in a hood and mask. It was his quest for greater power that led him to becoming a supervillain. During his time as a petty crook, Jason heard stories about the Kingpin of Crime, but never believed any of them.

At some point, Jason came across the business tycoon Norman Osborn. Norman wanted Jason to kill Kingpin, which Jason would do in exchange for a large sum of money and weapons. Inspired by the hobgoblin from classic folklore, Jason used the alias to inspire fear in his enemies. He found the limousine of Fisk and followed him to the Dedication Ceremony for the future site of the Fisk School of Criminology. Osborn was also there to speak. Hobgoblin flew in and began taking aim with his gun. However, Peter Parker pushed Fisk aside just as he fired. The shot missed and the crowd began to panic. In the confusion, Hobgoblin lost Fisk who fled in his limo. Parker then put on his costume and fought the evil goblin as Spider-Man. The webslinger kept swinging around trying to hit him, but Hobgoblin easily dodged his attacks thanks to his glider-which Spider-Man grabs onto as he flies away.

Hobgoblin tries to shake him off but the hero stayed on. So the villain flew at a skyscraper and at the last second went straight up. The two began flying over the tops of the city, including the Empire State Building. Soon they flew high above the city. The two saw an airplane flying towards them so Spider-Man fell off. Hobgoblin circled around a few times before flying off. He was followed by News helicopters but he lost them. Hobgoblin returned to Oscorp where Osborn berated him for failing. Hobgoblin claimed it was because Osborn didn't tell him that Spider-Man would get involved. Hobgoblin said that his rate went up for dealing with the webhead. However, Osborn refused so Hobgoblin threatened him with his gun, telling him not to talk to him like some punk. However, Osborn retorted that he was just that before he gave Jason the Goblin weapons. Upset, Hobgoblin left claiming the weapons as a down payment.

Later, Hobgoblin flew to the Chrysler Building where Fisk was known to have an office. He burned a hole through the glass and glided in. He began looking around, feeling that Fisk was hiding something valuable. He saw a painting of Fisk on the wall and examined it. He found a button and pressed it. The painting moved to the side revealing a hidden elevator. Hobgoblin glided in but was immediately grabbed by a giant mechanical arm. The elevator went up to some unknown level. As it stopped he was let go, and found Fisk at a desk with Alistair Smythe. Soon he was surrounded by armed guards all pointing their weapons at him. At a desk, Fisk turned around and threatened to have him killed should he try to escape.

Hobgoblin, unphased by his threats and showing a fascination of Kingpin's whereabouts, told him to remove the guards in exchange for giving him the name of his assassin. Fisk then told the guards to let him go, much to Alistair's confusion. When Kingpin asked, Hobgoblin told him he just wanted money. He also said he wanted the headquarters. Kingpin decided to agree, if for nothing else than the entertainment value Hobgoblin could bring to them. Hobgoblin then readily gave up Osborn's name. Soon after, Kingpin had Smythe begin to develop new weapons for Hobgoblin, starting with a more advanced glider.

Later, Hobgoblin went to the high-rise apartment of Harry Osborn, Norman's son, who just happened to have Parker as a roommate. Unfortunately for them, Peter's Aunt May just happened to stop by at the same time when Hobgoblin threw a Pumpkin Bomb into the apartment that filled it with green gas. He then flew in holding another. He immediately recognized Parker and told him how he would get "two birds with one stone." He threw the bomb at Parker's feet filling the room with more gas. In the confusion, Hobgoblin grabbed Harry and flew out. Harry called out to Peter just before they got out of range. Hobgoblin blindfolded the young man and tied his hands together before he flew off with the unfortunate boy

Hobgoblin then flew back to the Chrysler building where he would keep Harry hostage. Harry asked what the goblin wanted him for. He lied and said it was because his father was rich. He then confronted the Kingpin about his bonus. Kingpin told him he would get it later, but Hobgoblin wanted it right then. Kingpin said that he worked for him and would be paid when he wanted to pay him. Kingpin then called Osborn to tell him that he had Harry and then allowed Hobgoblin to speak. Hobgoblin told him that he had a new job and used Osborn as a "reference". Hobgoblin watched as Kingpin demanded all of Osborn's inventions to remain silent. Hobgoblin went to Oscorp wanting to talk to Osborn. However, upon confronting Norman, Hobgoblin blackmail's Norman for a more advanced weapon in exchange for killing the Kingpin and letting Harry go.

Osborn hesitantly agrees to his demands and introduces Hobgoblin to a new glider. This one had more weapons such as Smart Bombs and missiles. It could fly twice as high and four times as fast as his older glider. Hobgoblin flew over and landed his glider on the new one, which was built just for it. Just then Spider-Man burst down the door and swung onto the glider. Hobgoblin saw this as an opportunity to try out the new toy, so he flew up through the hanger door on the roof and away from Oscorp.-confused as to how Spider-Man found him. To see what the glider could do, Hobgoblin flew up then straight down doing a barrel roll. He then flew around the spiked top of a building breaking the web line. Hobgoblin then decided to try out the smart bombs and launched two of them. They flew forward, turned around, and headed back to Spider-Man while going around the glider. Spider-Man dodged the missiles but they turned to follow. Hobgoblin then decided to "double team" him by remotely controlling the larger glider. The webslinger landed on a Daily Bugle billboard. The remote glider launched dozens of Razor Bats at him but missed and embedded themselves into the advertisement. The glider tried to ram him but he ducked and it sliced the billboard apart. Hobgoblin laughed as he threw bombs at the hero.

He leapt up so the glider would hit him but missed. It then went through the billboard where he landed on the other side. As Spider-Man watched the goblin. the remote glider rammed him flying the hero into the air. He docked with the remote glider and decided to "show" the hero Greenwich Village. As they flew through the city, the glider hit a building which knocked the wall crawler off. However, he sent a web line to the glider and followed. Spider-Man crawled closer to him via the line, and then the two saw the smart bombs returning and Hobgoblin realized that they did work. The hero let go and went into an open window. The bombs followed and detonated destroying the building. Hobgoblin laughed as the hero was apparently killed. However, Spider-Man survived, much to his dismay. Because there were no tall buildings, Spider-Man could not swing up to attack him. Hobgoblin flew over and fired lasers from his glider. The webslinger dodged back then went into a garbage truck to hide. He saw that Spider-Man hid in a dumpster so he dropped a pumpkin bomb destroying the trash. But Spider-Man leapt onto a lamppost before it detonated. He swung around and dropped two more bombs destroying the lamppost. He launched several razor bats that hit a car Spidey was hiding behind, then dropped more bombs. He then saw the hero crawl under a Volkswagen Eurovan in an attempt to hide.

Hobgoblin dropped more bombs destroying the vehicle and apparently the hero. He flew through the smoke wishing Spider-Man "happy trails" and then left. Hobgoblin returned to Kingpin's headquarters where he makes it clear to Kingpin that he wants the wealth and power he has. However Kingpin plays a recording of his conversation with Norman, thus firing him for his treachery, despite Hobgoblin trying to convince him other wise. The goblin cried out not wanting it to end that way as he worked too hard to get there. Kingpin called for his guards and told them he didn't want to see Hobgoblin again. Hobgoblin laughed and threw bombs at the approaching guards. They exploded in a cloud of smoke so the guards began firing wildly. He flew around and threw another smoke bomb at the fleeing Kingpin. Kingpin ordered the guards not to let him get away, however the goblin escapes with ease.

Hobgoblin then went to where Harry was being kept hostage in the building, opened the door to his prison so and he could come out. Harry asked if he was free to go and if his father paid. Hobgoblin responded that nothing with him was ever free. He took the blindfold off and took him to the desk. He said that Harry, along with the criminal headquarters, belonged to him. He activated a hologram and explained that he controlled a worldwide network of information with instantaneous contact with anywhere on the planet. Hobgoblin pressed more buttons and pulled up videos of a mugging, robbery, and police chase. He said that not only could he see the information but control it as well, giving him more money. He also noted that power and water companies were under his control. Harry then asked what the villain wanted from him.

Hobgoblin said he wanted revenge on Osborn and would get it through Harry. He called up Osborn, and told him that in addition to Kingpin's empire he wanted everything from Oscorp. Osborn cursed him threatening to expose his identity. Then Hobgoblin pulled Harry into frame stopping Osborn. He called himself the new Kingpin then hung up. Later that night, Hobgoblin began making negotiations with other criminals over the phone, but is stopped by Spider-Man who is still alive. He pulled out a pumpkin bomb and threatened to find him. He called it a "proper greeting" then threw it out into the middle of the room.

A fight ensues between the two which ends with Hobgoblin's kingdom being destroyed. Once Spider-Man gains the upper hand, he demands to see Harry. Hobgoblin gave the young man to him by throwing a bat blade up at the holding cell's cable cutting it partially. As the hero went to grab Harry to stop him from falling, Hobgoblin went to his glider and flew downstairs. Hobgoblin escapes to Oscorp where he plans to murder Osborn, however Spider-Man and Harry beat him there. Another fight continues between the Hoblgoblin and the wall crawler atop the roof of the Oscorp building, which ends with Hobgoblin crashing into the nearby Hudson Lake, likely killing him.

For several months Jason did not wear the Hobgoblin costume and went into hiding. He presumably kept an eye on Kingpin for the proper time to strike against him. Eventually Jason learned about a plan of Kingpin involving Herbert Landon of the Brand Corporation. Publicly, Landon was making a cure for mutants, using research from Dr. Hank McCoy. Kingpin wanted him to make a formula that would create mutated soldiers. However, Landon hated mutants and created the formula to destroy them completely. The formula would turn mutant genes against the mutant and destroy them. He wanted to purify the human race. Jason somehow figured out Landon's plans, and as the Hobgoblin he confronted Landon to blackmail him. He demanded a large sum of money for keeping Landon's secret from both Kingpin and the public. Hobgoblin waited in the warehouse for Landon. Landon came in asking for him. Hobgoblin stepped out joking that he might tell Kingpin about Landon's double-cross. Landon told him that he didn't want his inventions taken from him and set the briefcase of money down. Hobgoblin told him to leave as he wanted to be alone with all his favorite "Presidents". However, he realized there was a bomb inside and left the building before the case blew up. Hobgoblin stood outside and watched as Landon's limo drove away-eager to increase his price. He found that Landon was making a presentation on his findings in a large amphitheater.

Jason grabbed some new electrified gloves and went over there. Inside, he attacked Landon, much to the latter's surprise of him being alive. The crowd panicked as he used his electrified gloves to destroy the podium. He grabs Landon and threatens the double crosser, however Spider-Man intervenes He grabbed a pumpkin bomb and threw it at the wall crawler, thankfully missing. Spider-Man swung from the roof and kicked Hobgoblin off the glider. As he fell he grabbed the glider and flew away before he could hit the ground. He flew away promising to deliver on his promise of revenge. He swung his bag around and tossed several bombs at the ceiling. As the roof began to collapse, Hobgoblin told Landon they still had an arrangement and he intended to quintuple the fee. That night, Hobgoblin flew to the Brand Corporation to confront Landon. He flew in low through the buildings thinking he would avoid being seen. However, as he turned a corner he saw a web line across the ally. It was too late and he hit it knocking himself off the glider and into a dumpster.

The webslinger slipped down on a web and told him it was over. Hobgoblin stood wondering how the hero knew where he would be. He threw a bomb at the hero. Unfortunately, the hero webbed the bomb, twirled it, and tossed it right back at him. Hobgoblin leapt from the dumpster before it went off. Spider-Man walked over and picked him up, asking why he wanted to destroy Landon. Hobgoblin told him that the scientist was his bankroll, paying him to keep his mouth shut since he knew the man's secrets. Confused, Spider-Man demands to know what these secrets are. Hobgoblin told him that Landon had a secret agenda to destroy all mutants. Spider-Man did not believe him. He leaned over threatening to take off Hobgoblin's mask and began to pinch the cheek. However, he was interrupted by the X-Man, Wolverine, who began accusing him of kidnapping his friend, Beast. As they begin fighting, Hobgoblin throws a pumpkin bomb into their midst. The bomb went off knocking both men back. However, the two recovered and resumed their fight. Spider-Man tried to get the X-Man to attack Hobgoblin, but the clawed man did not care about him.

Hobgoblin then threw another bomb at them. It went off knocking the two down again. As Hobgoblin readied another bomb, Spider-Man webbed it to his hand. However Hobgoblin flew away and used a razor bat to cut the webbing. He then noticed a security camera on a building's corner and smashed it with the glider, knowing it would trip off security in the Brand Corporation. It worked and a missile launcher rose out of a building to fire at the two. However, Spider-Man somehow sensed it and got out of the way while saving his opponent. He saw the two talking and laughed. He flew towards the main building thinking that they could distract Landon and his security while he went after what he was owed. As he flew through the building and found a security console. On a monitor he saw Spider-Man and Wolverine fighting their way through the hallways. He then looked over and found the mainframe with every mutant genetic research on it. He inserted a CD-ROM and began typing. A computer generated woman's head appeared telling him that all information had been transferred, so ejected the disk drive. He then quickly wrote code for the Hobgoblin Computer Virus. The woman's face was replaced with one of his own. The figure then said that all data had been erased. Hobgoblin flew to the main lab where Landon was and burst through the roof as he flew inside. Seeing Spider-Man crouched on a console, he threw a bomb at him destroying it.

He asked Landon why their business kept getting interrupted, to which Landon replied that it was karma then grabbed an rifle and fired at him, but Hobgoblin flew away to dodge it. Landon kept firing but Hobgoblin easily dodged those attacks as well. He flew by a large vat of the essence Lanon would use to destroy all mutants, where Beast was holding onto Wolverine from an energy cage from above it. One of the shots hit the cable for the cage snapping it. Spider-Man quickly leapt up to grab it saving the two mutants. As Landon continued firing, Hobgoblin told him how he had erased all of his data. He pulled out the CD-ROM saying that was the only copy left. He asked what it was worth but Landon merely fired again, demanding the disk back but Hobgoblin refused. Landon then ran up a flight of stairs where he managed to hit the glider. As he flew down he crashed into the powered down energy cage causing it to rock. He flew back up and crashed onto the balcony flipping himself over the railing. He then tried unsuccessfully to get the glider unstuck from the railing. He leapt over it trying to kick it out. Landon ran up to him taunting him with the rifle. Hobgoblin spun around pulling out the disk and a bomb. He threatened to destroy it all as he jumped forward and kicked the rifle out of the man's hands. He leapt back over the railing and got the glider unstuck. As he flew away, Landon leapt onto the glider to follow. Hobgoblin accidentally dropped the disk and Landon leapt after it, falling into the large vat. He then flew up noticing how trapped Spider-Man was and pulled out a bomb to finish him. However Genevieve, Landon's assistant, began firing at Hobgoblin.

He noted that the chance of profit was gone. He twirled his bag again and tossed more bombs at the roof. He bid them farewell and flew through the hole he had made, promising to see them again. Jason then decided to spend some time appearing to be just another normal person, putting everyone under the guise of being caring philanthropist. He purchased a large mansion that had East and West wings, where he built his own secret armory with a door hidden in his study. He came across an inner city Student Center run by the Hardy Foundation. He contacted them wishing to donate money and planned to meet with Felicia Hardy.

Jason walked into the classroom looking for her. He asked Peter Parker, who ended up introducing him to her. Jason walked over to felicia and kissed her hand introducing herself. He introduced himself to Peter saying that he wanted to donate a lot of money to them, easily winning Felicia over

Jason then asked if she would join him for dinner. The two went to dinner and he had a wonderful time. Afterwards, they went to Felicia's apartment building to drop her off. As they left the car Jason noticed she seemed distracted and asked if there was someone else. She reluctantly said that there wasn't, despite her feelings for Spider-Man. She then happily asked for dinner again and kissed him. She went in the door and looked back before going out of site. Jason got in the car and drove away. During this time, Jason heard stories about another goblin-based villain called Green Goblin. This goblin presumably captured Fisk, J. Jonah Jameson of The Daily Bugle, Anastasia Hardy, and the model/actress Mary Jane Watson. However, he dismissed these stories as nothing but rumors.

At some unknown point, Jason managed to get a spy into Kingpin's empire. This man told him everything that Kingpin was doing. He and Felicia continued dating and on one they went to a fair that was happening. They went to a booth where they filled a balloon with a water gun. Jason's status as the Hobgoblin is foreshadowed when he is amazed that Felicia finds the goblin head he's spraying into "cute" as well as his disappointment in winning a stuffed spider.

Later, the two went to a jewelry store where Jason picked out her engagement ring and proposed to her. Felicia hestitantly . Then an interdimensional portal opened up and a thief calling himself Spot arrived in an attempt to rob the place. Armed guards arrived but disappeared through a portal in the floor. The man began putting jewelry in his bag and made the same attempt on Felicia's ring. Jason told the man to get away from her and threw a punch. He hit him in a dark spot on his chest but it went through the man. Spot grabbed him and threw him back. Then Spider-Man came in through the roof window, and a fight ensued between the two which ended with Spot escaping.

Later, through his spy, Hobgoblin learned that Spot was really Dr. Jonathan Ohn, who was working for Kingpin. He had developed the Time Dilation Accelerator, which allowed him to create the portals transporting him anywhere virtually instantaneously. However, problems arose and Kingpin was forced to shut down the project. Talking to his informant over the phone, Hobgoblin told the man he would be rewarded handsomely. Later, Hobgoblin heard about portals opening up around the city. He flew to one and saw Spider-Man grabbing the Time Dilation Accelerator, and took it from the wall crawler. Eventually the hero fell into a portal, which Hobgoblin flew out of.

However, Spider-Man sent a webline to Hobgoblin's glider which pulled him out of the portal before it closed. Flying over a river, Hobgoblin asked if he could ever get rid of the hero. He grabbed a razor bat and threw it to cut the web. With Spider-Man falling Hobgoblin activated the accelerator and flew through a portal saying he had things to steal. Hobgoblin strapped the accelerator to his chest to easily carry. Then he transported himself inside the vault of a bank. He used the portal's vacuum to suck in all of the money. He grabbed a pole and then let go to allow himself to be sucked through the portal just as it was closing. Back at his money filled hideout, he saw that the portal closed early cutting off part of his cape. He realized that it could have cut off his arm or leg and that it was running out of power. But he knew where to get more. Hobgoblin transported to Kingpin's hideout where his spy was working. The spy told him that he could get into big trouble if Hobgoblin was spotted. However, Hobgoblin told him that if he could get another power pack for the accelerator then they would never need to fear Kingpin again. The spy went over to a locker and grabbed the last power pack, explaining that after he lost the accelerator, Kingpin ordered that no more be made. Hobgoblin grabbed it out of his hand saying he did not think it would be the last, and transported to the main control room where Kingpin and the now half-mutated Landon were. They did not notice him until he announced his presence.

Kingpin pressed a button sending in armed guards who surrounded him. Hobgoblin mocked surrendered then pulled out the accelerator from his bag. Surprised, Kingpin waved off the guards and they all left. Hobgoblin reminded him that the accelerator could revolutionize the theft and smuggling business. Landon asked him why he needed them, to which Hobgoblinreplied that he needed a power pack. Kingpin was delighted that Hobgoblin needed their technology. The goblin told them that he intended to steal from the Federal Reserve Gold Depository, much to Kingpin's approval. Hobgoblin activated the device telling them to be ready at midnight.

Jason later held an engagement party for himself and Felicia at his mansion. Among the guests were Parker, Watson, both the elder and junior Osborns, and Jameson. Even Fisk showed up, though he wanted to speak to Norman Osborn about Hobgoblin's secret identity when the intent of double crossing Jason. When Peter attempts to shake hands with Jason, his spider-sense goes off much to his confusion. Though when Fisk arrives to shake Parker's hand, he is under the false impression that it was Fisk who set it off, when it was most likely Jason due to being the Hobgoblin.

Jason kept up his appearance and talked with his guests. Eventually the party ended and Jason left Felicia to herself. Later that night, Jason donned his Goblin gear and used his advanced goblin glider. Hobgoblin had attached the accelerator to his advanced glider and teleported to the Chrysler Building where Kingpin and his men waited. Kingpin ordered the goblin not to fail him. Hobgoblin said he was fine as long as Kingpin upheld his part. He pressed the remote and activated it. A portal opened and several guards went through with gas grenades ready. However, after a short time Kingpin wondered what was keeping his men. Then Spider-Man came through the portal. The hero informed them that the guards were webbed up and waiting for the police. He swung over to the glider and turned off the accelerator.

Hobgoblin did not want another repeated failure and activated the glider with Spider-Man on it. It lurched forward but the hero managed to stay on. He then reached back and grabbed the accelerator off the glider and leapt off. Hobgoblin then docked with the glider. Spider-Man landed on a wall and warned Hobgoblin that if he blew him up the accelerator would be destroyed also. Spider-Man swung down but Kingpin hit him, knocking the wall crawler to the ground. Gaining the upper hand, he picked up Spider-Man with the intent of breaking him in half. However, they are all interrupted by the Green Goblin who uses a pumpkin bomb to get their attention.

Hobgoblin was shocked believing that the other fiend was merely a rumor. Green Goblin told Hobgoblin that he was going to wish he was as he attacked him. Hobgoblin docked with his advanced glider while Green Goblin undocked with his. Green Goblin flew to Kingpin's desk and picked it up with ease, demonstrating great strength. He threw it at Hobgoblin who barely ducked under in time. Hobgoblin was shocked wondering how the man did that. The other goblin said it was because he was the "real deal" and called Hobgoblin a cheap imitation. Spider-Man eventually stood up and saw the two battling. However, neither villain took notice. Hobgoblin threw a trio of pumpkin bombs at Green Goblin but missed. Green Goblin responded with his own pumpkin bomb. Hobgoblin undocked with the advanced glider to dodge the attack then quickly redocked. The two Goblins flew at each other and their advanced gliders collided.

However, Green Goblin's appeared to be sturdier and cut right through Hobgoblin's. Hobgoblin quickly undocked as the larger glider fell and crashed onto the ground. His own glider began to smoke. He then flew to the top of the roof and blew a hole in the ceiling to leave. Green Goblin followed telling him that he did not deserve to wear the mask. Spider-Man also followed. Hobgoblin fled through the city's streets but Green Goblin kept right on his tail as he kept firing at him. Green Goblin fired again and hit a building corner as Hobgoblin went around it. Hobgoblin began to as him who he was and where he got the weapons, beleiving that Osborn had given him all of the best gadgets. Green Goblin told him that Osborn had a new best friend, him. He fired a smart missile that began following Hobgoblin. Learning from Spider-Man, Hobgoblin flew through a construction site until the bomb detonated behind him.

Hobgoblin's glider began to smoke again as he went down into the city streets. Green Goblin said he had the "impostor." However, Hobgoblin pulled out the accelerator and activated it. He disappeared leaving Green Goblin and Spider-Man alone. Hobgoblin exited the portal in his study to find Felicia standing in the open door to his armory. She turned and was shocked to see the goblin there. Hobgoblin then took off his mask, revealing himself as her fiance, much to her shock. She refused to believe he was a criminal, however he explained that the house, his money, and everything she was attracted to came from crime. She then refused to marry him, to which he threatened to kill her. Just then an explosion rocked the building. Jason looked over as another explosion opened a hole in the study. Then Green Goblin began laughing as he flew through the opening.

Jason was shocked wondering how the fiend could know who he was. Green Goblin said he knew all of Jason's secrets and that Osborn created him (due to being a split personality created by Norman in a lab accident). He then made his intentions to kill them clear, however Jason smiled as he reached into his bag to grab his gun and shot at the invader. But Green Goblin quickly kicked the gun out of his hand. He kicked again pushing Jason into his books knocking him down. Green Goblin explained that he studied Ohn's technologies and figured out how to use the accelerator. He grabbed the device from Jason's bag and activated it. The invader then ordered the two into the portal. Jason stood to protest. He knew it was low on power and they could be trapped in limbo. Green Goblin flew over to Felicia and began pushing the two in. He said it was "their chance to get away from it all". The three entered and the portal closed behind him. Soon they were taken Oscorp.

Green Goblin tied their hands and put them on a crane above a large vat of acid. As their captor worked on a console, Jason told him that whatever Osborn was paying he would double. Green Goblin looked up saying that he wasn't interested in money. Jason asked what he did want. Green Goblin explained that he was making life easier for Osborn by eliminating his enemies so he would not have to suffer any more. Then Spider-Man arrived and webbed up Green Goblin's face as he was laughing. Green Goblin ripped the web off and wondered why he was still alive. He ran over to his glider. However, the webslinger shot a line to the glider and pulled it back knocking it into the acid. Green Goblin ran over to the controls and began lowing the two into the acid. He explained that he didn't need the glider when he had the accelerator. Green Goblin activated the device opening a portal. he leapt into a portal and disappeared. Felicia called out to Spider-Man asking for help. Spider-Man swung over but another portal opened and a razor bat cut his line. Green Goblin then appeared and caught the hero by the leg. Spider-Man leaned up and grabbed Green Goblin saying they could both use the portals. The two entered the portal and disappeared. Meanwhile, Felicia and Jason continued to slowly be lowered towards the acid. Then another portal opened and Green Goblin fell out. The accelerator fell out of his unconscious hands. Spider-Man exited the portal and swung over to them. Felicia began raising her legs to avoid the acid. The hero grabbed the two and saved them. The three went to the ground and the wall crawler let them go. He then swung over to a wall and grabbed a razor bat. He threw it towards Green Goblin and hit the accelerator. Green Goblin sat up shocked at what he had done. Spider-Man explained that the accelerator was useless to everyone.

Green Goblin began playing with the device to get it to work again, activated the accelerator and opened what appeared to be an unstable portal. Spider-Man warned him not to go in that it was too low on power and he would be trapped. However Green Goblin ignored him, saying he would rather be trapped in limbo than be defeated by Spider-Man, and disappeared once he entered into the portal. With the other goblin gone, Felicia asked Jason why he would turn to crime. Jason explained that he had nothing to begin with and all his fortune, including her love, was from crime, and that he had no choice. She then asked if he had ever loved her. Jason explained that he loved things about her like her money, beauty, and refinement. Felicia berated him saying that was not love, and looked at Spider-Man as she said she had felt true love. Later, Jason was arrested by the New York Police Department, and most likely taken to prison for his crimes

~ Hobgoblin ploting his move.
Get me a power pack for the Time Dilation Accelerator! And we won't need fear the Kingpin ever again.
~ Hobgoblin to his spy.
Just meet me here at midnight. Be there or be square! In your case it'd be easier to just be there.
~ Hobgoblin to Kingpin.
Green Goblin: Stand back for the real goblin! the Green Goblin!
Hobgoblin: I thought you were just a rumor!
Green Goblin: You're going to wish I was!
~ Hobgoblin meets Green Goblin.
Sorry. But there's no profit to be made in my own annihilation!
~ Hobgoblin flies out of Kingpin's building.
Hobgoblin: Who are you? Where did you get all of those weapons? I thought Osborn gave me his best stuff!
Green Goblin: Osborn's got a new best friend. Me!
~ Hobgoblin tries to escape Green Goblin.

Trivia[]

  • It is likely that the Hobgoblin had multiple identities throughout the series (as he did in the comics) since in his first appearance, he was shown to be bald with dark brown skin (whereas Jason has hair and pale tan skin).
