Hobgoblin (Roderick Kingsley and others) Appreciation Thread 2022

[Webhead]

Yeah, what Spidey_62 said is right, my bad.

[Spidey_62]

I'm really looking forward to the Hobgoblin arc seeing JRJR drawing classic Hobgoblin again, there's a lot of directions it could go storywise.

[Xwho]

The page in question isn't a leak, it was what John Romita Jr. was penciling on his drawing board on a social media video. Splash page was enhanced somewhere and you can clearly make out Hobgoblin holding spoilers:

an infant and likely Betty in the foreground standing shocked.

end of spoilers

Could it be that Ned (if he real is Ned) is a Hobgoblin working against Kingsley and Paul is a Hobgoblin working for Kingsley ?

[Xwho]

Instead of turning Norman back to evil at the end of his being the gold goblin and good what if it ends with him sacrificing himself for Peter and this could pave the way for Kingsley to become spider man 's the kind of enemy he was before and Norman's heir?

I meant Norman getting killed at the end of his good Story.
Why not put him back to rest like what was done with Kraven?

Before Norman returned was the original Hobgoblin considered superior to Norman?

Well Norman returns he took everything kingsley had alongside kingpin and just made hobgoblin just a schemer from behind the scenes and got less popular plus, hobgoblin was overshadowed by venom and carnage too.

The whole mystery thing for hobby is what caused him to be less used these days

Couldn't they still have use him as a main foe even with Norman still around?
