Hobie and, to some extent, Rob Farrell are kind of all over the place; portrayal-wise. they are rife for revamping (although they did get my attention with some of the recent Hobie stuff). all of the impostors sort of hurt Rob's image, imo. ironically, I kind of hate it when that happens to a character. with hindsight being 20/20, I might have preferred Ultimate Hobie Brown being Miles' estranged father or something.
