History
Hobgoblin was a shape-changing member of the Imperial Guard, who protected the site of the M'kraan Crystal for his emperor, D'ken.[1]
During the Kree/Shi'ar War, Hobgoblin was apparently undercover on a Shi'ar warship.[2]
Hobgoblin died while protecting Empress Lilandra during a royal ceremony. He acted as her royal body double, and was killed by an assassin's strike.[3]

Notes
- It was hypothesized that Shapeshifter was a Skrull.[5]
- During Operation: Galactic Storm, Hobgoblin briefly transformed into a Skrull while alone before reassuming his previous guise. It was never explained if the shape-changing Chameleoid Guardsman had been temporarily or permanently replaced with shape-changing Skrull.[2]
Trivia
- Most members of the Imperial Guard are analogs of DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes. Hobgoblin is based on Chameleon Boy who was also a shape changer.
