Having usurped resources from the Green Goblin, the Hobgoblin is a mischievous crime-lord who usually hides his true identity behind an impish figure. The questionable businessman Roderick Kingsley was the first Hobgoblin, after stumbling upon the equipment of Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. He has run criminal activities under this disguise for long, being usually opposed by Spider-Man. Reporter Ned Leeds has also been associated with the identity of the Hobgoblin, being involved in different conspiracies while purposedly and unwillingly donning its face. The former Jack O'Lantern, Jason Macendale Jr. was assigned the role of the Hobgoblin to target Leeds, being eventually corrupted by demonic possession as Demogoblin. The mantle of the Hobgoblin was taken by Phil Urich, the nephew of Ben Urich and also a mentally unstable heroic Green Goblin who became corrupted. Tormented by Kingsley, Phil Urich gave up the Hobgoblin name and became the Goblin King before being murdered by his predecessor, Osborn.
