Who is hobgoblin in spider man

The glider flew in low forcing the guards to duck to keep from getting hit. Hobgoblin then docked with the glider and began to throw pumpkin bombs into the room. As Hobgoblin continued to throw bombs, Smythe told Kingpin to run. At first, Kingpin believed that they could defeat Hobgoblin but both Kingpin and Smythe fled to keep from getting killed.

Hobgoblin then released Harry from his cell so that he could have someone to share his joy with since he was now the new Kingpin.

Harry asked if he was free to go, asking if his father paid the ransom. Hobgoblin responded that nothing was free with him and proceeded to show Harry a hologram of the Earth and said that he now controls most of the crime on the planet.

He also noted that power and water companies were in his control. As Harry asked what he wanted with him, Hobgoblin answered that he wanted revenge on his father. Hobgoblin then called Osborn who asked him what went wrong since he didn't come back straight away. Hobgoblin answered that nothing went wrong and his new glider worked perfectly and even helped him defeat the Kingpin. Hobgoblin then revealed that he now had control of of Kingpin's empire and that he wanted control of OsCorp.

As Norman threatened to expose his true identity to the world, Hobgoblin revealed that he was also holding Harry hostage and then ended the video transmission. Spider-Man later met up with Norman Osborn and realized that Hobgoblin had not returned his son like promised. Norman then showed Spider-Man a secret passage way into Crime Central unknown that Kingpin was using him to destroy his other enemy.

When Spider-Man entered Crime Central, Hobgoblin was calling a Baron and told him that he could get rid of his extra land mines.

However, he demanded half the profits. Just then, Spider-Man shot web at his glider and it fell over making a loud noise. Hobgoblin realized that Spider-Man was still alive. He looked around and didn't see him so he took a pumpkin bomb out of his sack and threw it out to the middle of the room where it exploded. Hobgoblin then rushed over to his glider and used one of his razor discs to cut it free from the webbing.

Spider-Man then ran out and kicked Hobgoblin to the ground. Hobgoblin then threw a razor disc at Spider-Man but, it missed. One disc hit a holographic projector. This upset Hobgoblin because it further damaged his kingdom. During the fight, Hobgoblin accidentally damaged the equipment and blamed Spider-Man for ruining Crime Central.

As Hobgoblin looked into his bag, he saw that he only had one razor disc left. Hobgoblin threw the razor disc into the air and it hit a rope that was suspending Harry's cell above the air.

As the cell started to fall, Spider-Man caught it saving Harry which gave Hobgoblin enough time to escape. Only seconds later, Hobgoblin arrived on his glider and threw a pumpkin bomb into OsCorp and the explosion caused a steel beam to fall on top of Harry and Norman but Spider-Man is able to lift it up and save them. Hobgoblin flew around while Spider-Man tried to swing up to him. Hobgoblin dropped more pumpkin bombs but Spider-Man dodged them. Spider-Man then climbed on top of a smoke stack.

As Hobgoblin tried to ram Spider-Man, Spidey jumped down and Hobgoblin's glider hit the smoke stack causing Hobgoblin to lose control and crash into the river. Hobgoblin survived and promised never to forget Spider-Man.

Hobgoblin eventually returned and learned that Herbert Landon , C. Once he discovered this, Hobgoblin began to blackmail Landon and in exchange for money, Hobgoblin would keep quiet about Landon's secret agenda. Landon later met Hobgoblin at an abandoned warehouse and gave him a briefcase filled with money. However, unknown to Hobgoblin there was a bomb inside the briefcase. As Landon got into his limo, he activated the explosive and destroyed the warehouse. However, Hobgoblin survived and swore to extort more money from Landon for trying to kill him.

The next day, Peter Parker went to a scientific conference where Landon revealed that the Brand Corporation had discovered a cure for mutants. As Peter listened to Landon's speech, his spider sense went off and Hobgoblin flies into the room.

Hobgoblin held up his arms and a burst of electricity shot from his gloves. However, Herbert Landon was able to jump out of the way before the blast could hit him. Hobgoblin then flew to Landon and grabbed him although Spider-Man was able to get him away from Hobgoblin. After failing to kill Spider-Man, Hobgoblin threw his pumpkin bombs into the air and blew a hole in the ceiling and he flew away. Spider-Man knew that Hobgoblin would attack Landon at the Brand Corporation and went there to keep an eye on him.

Hobgoblin eventually comes to the Brand Corporation and Spider-Man confronted him. Spider-Man then asked Hobgoblin why he wants to kill Landon. However, Hobgoblin replies that he doesn't want to kill Landon because Herbert Landon is paying him to keep quiet. At that moment, Wolverine arrived and demanded Spider-Man tell him where Beast was.

As Spider-Man and Wolverine began to fight, Hobgoblin got on his glider and flew above them. Hobgoblin then took a pumpkin bomb out of his pouch and threw it at them and flew off on his glider.

However, both Spider-Man and Wolverine survived. Hobgoblin then entered the Brand Corporation and found a computer that stored all of Herbert Landon's mutant research. As Hobgoblin went up to it he placed a disc into the computer and downloaded of the mutant research and then placed a virus on the computer which deleted all of Landon's files. As Spider-Man and Wolverine were attempting to free Beast, who was in the laboratory, Hobgoblin flew in and Landon attempted to kill him.

However, Hobgoblin revealed that he had all his mutant research and he would return if paid enough money. She handed the doll to a passing girl then said she should focus on someone more reliable and took his arm. Later, the two went to a jewelry store. Felicia asked what they were doing and Jason said they were shopping. The clerk handed them a box with an engagement ring inside.

Felicia said it was beautiful and put it on. Jason grabbed her hand and said it was for her. He then asked her to marry him.

Felicia said it was sweet but was stumbling along. Then an interdimensional portal opened up and a thief calling himself Spot arrived. The polka-dotted man said it was a beautiful store, and excellent for a robbery. Armed guards arrived but disappeared through a portal in the floor.

Spot said he was going to get to business. The man began putting jewelry in his bag. He leapt over the counter and approached Felicia. Being overly polite, he said her ring looked expensive and asked for it. Jason told the man to get away from her and threw a punch. He hit him in a dark spot on his chest but it went through the man.

Spot grabbed him and threw him back. Then Spider-Man came in through the roof window. He sent out weblines but Spot disappeared only to reappear behind the hero and kick him. Spot disappeared then portals surrounded the wallcrawler. Spot pushed him back and tripped him. Spot reappeared then disappeared into another portal with his loot.

The wallcrawler joked that he needed spot remover. Felicia approached him asking if he was hurt. The hero was surprised to see her then said he was fine. The hero said he was going to leave but Felicia stopped him. She asked if he was avoiding her since they hadn't seen each other in weeks. He grabbed her saying that there could be nothing between them. He explained that his life was too dangerous and he cared too much for her to endanger her life.

Through his spy, Hobgoblin learned that Spot was really Dr. Jonathan Ohn, who was working for Kingpin. He had developed the Time Dilation Accelerator , which allowed him to create the portals transporting him anywhere virtually instantaneously. However, problems arose and Kingpin was forced to shut down the project. Talking to his informant over the phone, Hobgoblin called Kingpin a fool. He told the man he would be rewarded handsomely as he enjoyed having a spy on Kingpin.

He promised to have that portal technology and began laughing maniacally. Later, Hobgoblin heard about portals opening up around the city. He flew in close causing the webslinger to drop it, saying it was his.

He grabbed the device out of the air. He then saw Spider-Man struggling to stay on the ground. Eventually the hero lifted off into a portal. He laughed and flew away.

However, Spider-Man sent a webline to him and pulled himself out of the portal before it closed. Flying over a river, Hobgoblin asked if he could ever get rid of the hero. He grabbed a razor bat and threw it to cut the web. With Spider-Man falling Hobgoblin activated the accelerator and flew through a portal saying he had things to steal. Hobgoblin strapped the accelerator to his chest to easily carry.

Then he transported himself inside the vault of a bank. He used the portal's vacuum to suck in all the money. He grabbed a pole and laughed. He soon let go and was sucked through the portal just as it was closing. Back at his money filled hideout, he saw that the portal closed early cutting off part of his cape. He realized that it could have cut off his arm or leg. Hobgoblin transported to Kingpin's hideout where his spy was working.

The spy told him that he could get into big trouble if Hobgoblin was spotted. Hobgoblin told him that if he could get another power pack for the accelerator then they would never need to fear Kingpin again. The spy went over to a locker and grabbed the last power pack. He explained that after he lost the accelerator, Kingpin ordered that no more be made. Hobgoblin grabbed it out of his hand saying he did not think it would be the last.

He then laughed maniacally. Hobgoblin transported to the main control room where Kingpin and the now half-mutated Landon were. They did not notice him until he announced his presence.

He walked forward noting that they had redecorated. Kingpin pressed a button sending in armed guards who surrounded him. Hobgoblin mocked surrendered then pulled out the accelerator from his bag.

Kingpin was shocked that he had the device. Kingpin waved off the guards and they all left. Hobgoblin reminded him that the accelerator could revolutionize the theft and smuggling business. Landon asked him why he needed them. Hobgoblin informed him that he needed a power pack.

Kingpin was delighted that Hobgoblin needed their technology. The goblin told them that he intended to steal from the Federal Reserve Gold Depository.

Kingpin said that was a great idea. Hobgoblin activated the device telling them to be ready at midnight. He made a joke about Kingpin's weight then disappeared in the portal. Jason held an engagement party for himself and Felicia at his mansion. Among the guests were Parker, Watson, both the elder and junior Osborns, and Jameson. Even Fisk showed up, though he wanted to speak to Norman Osborn. The happy couple stood on top of a flight of stairs.

Jason told the guests that he was happy they were there to celebrate. He went on to say that she made him the happiest man on Earth. As Jason was talking to a woman, Felicia brought over Parker and reintroduced them as they first "met" at the student center. Jason held out his hand to shake Parker's saying it was wonderful to see him again. However, he pulled it away and held it to his head as if in pain.

Fisk strolled up shaking Parker's hand saying he looked healthy. He apologized for a mishap involving Fisk's son Richard that landed Parker in jail.

Jason spoke up saying he finds those kind of parties to be tedious, though Felicia enjoys them. He went on to say she was redecorating the eastern wing of his mansion. He continued on but Parker seemed distracted. The man kept looking over at Fisk and Osborn until he eventually excused himself.

Jason kept up his appearance and talked with his guests. Eventually the party ended and Jason left Felicia to herself. Later that night, Jason donned his Goblin gear and used his advanced goblin glider. Hobgoblin had attached the accelerator to his advanced glider.

He teleported to the Chrysler Building where Kingpin and his men waited. Kingpin ordered the goblin not to fail him. Hobgoblin said he was fine as long as Kingpin upheld his part. He pressed the remote and activated it.

A portal opened and several guards went through with gas grenades ready. However, after a short time Kingpin wondered what was keeping his men. Then Spider-Man came through the portal. The hero informed them that the guards were webbed up and waiting the police.

He swung over to the glider and turned off the accelerator. Hobgoblin did not want another repeated failure and activated the glider with Spider-Man on it.

It lurched forward but the hero managed to stay on. He then reached back and grabbed the accelerator off the glider and leapt off. Hobgoblin then docked with the glider.

Spider-Man landed on a wall. He warned Hobgoblin that he blew him up the accelerator would be destroyed also. Spider-Man swung down but Kingpin hit him knocking him to the ground. The heavy-set man said that the hero was the only thing going to be destroyed. He picked up the wallcrawler and began crushing him in a bear hug intending to break him in half. Hobgoblin swooped down over the two then back around to pick up the accelerator. He looked back to see the hero struggle in Kingpin's grip.

Out of the smoke came the Green Goblin, who had armor similar to Hobgoblin's riding an identical glider with another advanced glider. Hobgoblin was shocked believing that the other fiend was merely a rumor.

Green Goblin told Hobgoblin that he was going to wish he was. Green Goblin opened fire so Hobgoblin flew away. He docked with his advanced glider while Green Goblin undocked with his. Green Goblin flew to Kingpin's desk and picked it up with ease, demonstrating great strength.

He threw it at Hobgoblin who barely ducked under in time. Hobgoblin was shocked wondering how the man did that. The other goblin said it was because he was the "real deal" and called Hobgoblin a cheap imitation. Hobgoblin threw a trio of pumpkin bombs at Green Goblin but missed. Green Goblin responded with his own pumpkin bomb. Hobgoblin undocked with the advanced glider to dodge the attack then quickly redocked. Green Goblin got upset calling him an amateur. The two goblins flew at each other and their advanced gliders collided.

However, Green Goblin's appeared to be sturdier and cut right through Hobgoblin's. Hobgoblin quickly undocked as the larger glider fell and crashed onto the ground. His own glider began to smoke. He told the group that there was no profit to be made in his death. He flew to the top of the roof and blew a hole in the ceiling to leave. Green Goblin followed telling him that he did not deserve to wear the mask.

Spider-Man also followed. Hobgoblin fled through the city's streets but Green Goblin kept right on his tail. He kept firing at the orange goblin laughing maniacally. Hobgoblin turned his head to ask who the man was. Green Goblin fired again and hit a building corner as Hobgoblin went around it. He continued to ask where he got the weapons. He believed that Osborn had given him all the best toys. Green Goblin told him that Osborn had a new best friend, him.

He fired a smart missile that began following Hobgoblin. Learning from Spider-Man, Hobgoblin flew through a construction site until the bomb detonated behind him. Hobgoblin's glider began to smoke again as he went down into the city streets.

Green Goblin said he had the "impostor. However, Hobgoblin had one last trick up his sleeve. He pulled out the accelerator and activated it. He disappeared leaving Green Goblin and Spider-Man alone. Hobgoblin exited the portal in his study to find Felicia standing in the open door to his armory. She turned and was shocked to see the goblin there. Hobgoblin explained that he had everything, until she found that room. She wondered why he was there.

Hobgoblin flew over to the door and pressed the button on the column to close the door. He wondered why she hadn't guessed his identity then took off his mask. She was shocked that her fiance was the villain.

He introduced himself as Jason Philip Macendale, a former petty crook and hired thug and now her husband-to-be. He flew over to her and began laughing. She was surprised that he was a criminal and refused to believe that. He flew up explaining that the house, his money, and everything she was attracted to came from crime. She realized she could never marry him.

Just then an explosion rocked the building. Jason looked over as another explosion opened a hole in the study. Then Green Goblin began laughing as he flew through the opening. Jason was shocked wondering how the fiend could know who he was. Green Goblin said he knew all of Jason's secrets and that Osborn created him.

He began flying in closer and Jason packed into his books. Green Goblin kept going on saying he was going to undo Osborn's mistakes. Jason smiled as he reached into his bag to grab his gun.

The other goblin said he would take back everything that fell into Jason's hands. Jason pulled out the gun to shoot the invader. But Green Goblin quickly kicked the gun out of his hand.

He kicked again pushing Jason into his books knocking him down. Green Goblin explained that he studied Kingpin's studies of Ohn's technologies and figured out how to use the accelerator. He grabbed the device from Jason's bag and activated it. The invader then ordered the two into the portal. Jason stood to protest. He knew it was low on power and they could be trapped in limbo. Green Goblin flew over to Felicia and began pushing the two in.

He said it was "their chance to get away from it all. The three appeared at Oscorp. Green Goblin tied their hands and put them on a crane above a large vat of acid. As their captor worked on a console, Jason told him that whatever Osborn was paying he would double.

In the comics, Ned ended up turning into a supervillain known as the Hobgoblin against his will, and there are rumors of that exact story playing out with Ned in the MCU as well. Peter Parker was going through a lot in his life, and Betty broke things off with him and started dating Ned.

The original Hobgoblin , Roderick Kingsley, faked his own death but then returned stronger than ever, which was when Ned first began acting as the Hobgoblin. In that miniseries, Jason Macendale went on trial for his role as the Hobgoblin. During this time, Macendale told the world that the first Hobgoblin was Ned Leeds. This led Roderick Kingsley, the real first Hobgoblin, to kill Macendale to shut him up.

Macendale's claim and murder led Peter and Betty to investigate the case to learn the truth. However, this storyline may feel too rushed with so many characters already present in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Although Ned Leed's transformation into Hobgoblin is already one subplot too many, introducing an alternate-reality version of Ned would require the movie to either devote more runtime to his backstory from a different universe or completely gloss over his multiversal origin.

After all, Ned was never a true villain in the comics, either. He may also know that Peter and Spider-Man are one and the same. Though he may have planned on being a hero, tragic events in his life could take him down the path to being a villain.

He could also have developed a grudge against Spider-Man; it's happened before. It could even happen to the MCU's Ned, depending on how the story unfolds. However, this scenario would be too similar to what happened with Dane Deehan's Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , where he stole Oscorp's experimental gear and serum to become the Green Goblin before his father could do so. In the comic books, Ned was a good person Peter trusted, but his life changed for the worse when he discovered the hideout of the real villain Hobgoblin, Roderick Kingsley.
