But you fought me. You were my enemy. You tried to kill me.

History

Jennifer D'Angelo was an ordained priest who worked at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Downtown, Nueva York. She frequently encountered Spider-Man during his ventures into Downtown.[2] Although she was the sister of Dana D'Angelo, Miguel O'Hara's fiancé, she never met Miguel as "Miguel" prior to Dana's death, due to a falling out between the sisters.[3]

She also had a secret identity as "Goblin", a rabble-rouser in Downtown who intended to take Spider-Man's place as the defender of Downtown and its people. Goblin told Kasey Nash and the gangs Downtown that the S-Man was a corporate sellout working for Alchemax, and set out to prove it. Goblin had an alliance with Vulture to defeat Spider-Man.[4]

Notes

  • The identity of Goblin 2099 became a contrived plot point due to Peter David's abrupt departure from the original Spider-Man 2099 series. David only intended for Gabriel O'Hara to be a red herring for the Goblin identity, and planned to reveal Father Jennifer was the Goblin. When David left the title two issues before cancellation, a dialogue box was added in Spider-Man 2099 #44 during the editing process that deliberately shifted a conversation between Jennifer and Gabe to pin the Goblin identity on him.[5] This was later retconned in 2099: Manifest Destiny #1, where the characters established that Gabe was not the Goblin, but had been framed by a shape changer whose true identity remained unknown. However, 2099: Manifest Destiny #1 then was in turn retconned into being merely a possible future of Earth-928. When David returned to the world of Spider-Man 2099 with Spider-Man 2099 (Vol. 3), he decided to use the "alternate reality escamotage" to reestablish Goblin's identity as Father Jennifer.[6]
