The Hobgoblin is the super-villian identity of at least six characters in The Spider-Man Saga. The most well known, and first, Hobgoblin was Roderick Kingsley. After one of his subordinates, George Hill, stumbled upon a Green Goblin Lair, Roderick quickly took advantage of the situation adapting the costume, glider, and arsenal to suit his image. The Hobgoblin has striking similarities to the Green Goblin as a result, the only difference being the Hobgoblin's mask and the fact that most people who take up the identity are employed by others. Sometimes, the Hobgoblin may be weaker, if the person underneath has not taken the serum.
