“	But some sacrifices have to be made. Just not self-sacrifices. Ah well. Time to lay low again. To plan. To scheme. To rise anew. Have your victory today, Osborn. You earned it. To you, my old foe. And to Goblins everywhere.	„
	~ Hobgoblin

The Hobgoblin is one of Spider-Man's enemies from Marvel Comics. He accidentally discovered the Green Goblin's secret hideout and modified his costume and weapons to become the next goblin villain in Spider-Man's life. Hobgoblin clashed with the Green Goblin several times and they have developed a strong hatred for each other since. The Hobgoblin also has joined various villain groups such as the Sinister Six and the Sinister Seven.

His true identity was kept a secret for a long time, until it was revealed to be Roderick Kingsley, a fashion designer that was involved in shady business practices. Since then, the Hobgoblin mantle has been worn by many individuals over the years, most of which have been either pawns or murdered by Roderick Kingsley, who is perhaps considered to be the most iconic to wear the mask to this day.

Spectacular Spider-Man[]

Roderick Kingsley appears in season 2 of The Spectacular Spider-Man voiced by Courtney B. Vance. In the series he owns a perfume factory and is African American. He successfully outbids Tombstone, Silvermane, and Dr. Octopus for the specifications to the Rhino armor. After collecting the specifications, Silver Sable and Hammerhead attempt to steal them for their respective employers only for Kingsley to hand them a decoy. He almost got away before being confronted by the original and very angry Rhino and fled due to the subsequent three way brawl between Hammerhead, Silver Sable, and the short-lived alliance of Spider-Man and Rhino. Spider-Man and Rhino manage to destroy the case with the specifications inside. Unknown to any of them, that was another decoy that was destroyed, with the real specifications being in Norman Osborn's possession. He does not appear as the Hobgoblin; creator Greg Weisman says the Hobgoblin would have shown up had the show gotten a third season, but did not specify if Kingsley would have been the one in the role.

Trivia[]

Although the Hobgoblin has yet to appear in a Spider-Man film, the audio commentary of Spider-Man 3 states that Sam Raimi and his crew referred to Harry Osborn's alter-ego as the Hobgoblin in the film set. However, the Hobgoblin moniker was never heard in the film and the character was marketed as the New Goblin.
