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]

Powers
Omni-Morph: Shape-shifting into any form imaginable, regardless of size, & able to utilize the inherent abilities of the assumed form, if applicable (e.g. dragon form = fire breathing, etc.).[4]
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
- Like all members of the Imperial Guard, Hobgoblin is a pastiche of DC Comics Legion of Super-Heroes. Hobgoblin is based on Chameleon Boy who was also a shape changer.
