Ned Leeds is arguably a funny character in Spider-Man: No Way Home, plus there are several scenes where Ned asks other versions of Peter Parker about their respective friends, and both of them turn their back on their respective friends. In the comics, Ned Leeds is quite different from his appearance in the MCU, but it is possible that he will appear as a Hobgoblin and become an enemy of Spider-Man like in the comics in the future.

In this article, Dunia Games wants to talk about the facts of Hobgoblin that come out as surprising. Let's dig in!

1. Once Stole Green Goblin Serum and Equipment

The Hobgoblin's power turns out to be originated from the Green Goblin, which turns out came out of a serum and Green Goblin's equipment that was stolen by a genius named Roderick Kingsley. Roderick Kingsley stole the Green Goblin serum and equipment for his purpose, which was to develop the Goblin's power even more and made him the Hobgoblin as a result.

2. Hobgoblin is Not Only One

Roderick Kingsley is the first Hobgoblin to have a Goblin's strength that is stronger than the Green Goblin, but in fact, it is not only Roderick who took the mantle as a Hobgoblin. There are plenty of Hobgoblins that exist besides him. Some Marvel characters who have been a Hobgoblin are Daniel Kingsley, Arnold Donovan, and one of Peter's friends, Ned Leeds

3. Can Manipulate Someone

Not only does the Green Goblin have the power that has been developed, but the Hobgoblin also has another power that the Green Goblin does not have, namely the ability to manipulate someone or simply Hypnotic ability. Hobgoblin's Hypnotic ability is often used by him for evil deeds, such as manipulating someone to help him carry out his evil plans.

4. Ned Became a Hobgoblin After Being Hypnotized

Previously, Peter's best friend, Harry, had been a Green Goblin, then Peter's best friend, Ned, became one of Spider-Man's enemies, the Hobgoblin. Ned became a Hobgoblin not because he had evil deeds, but rather he was hypnotized by Roderick Kingsley's Hobgoblin.

5. Hobgoblin is Not as Strong as Demogoblin

Spider-Man's enemies are many and varied, and one of the strangest and strongest are enemies who claim to be Goblins, such as Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, and even Demogoblin. Maybe many of you know who the Green Goblin is, but what about the Demogoblin? Demogoblin is a powerful Goblin because he has the power that comes from the combination of the demons in the Limbo or commonly known as Other Place.

6. Harry Osborn is One of the Hobgoblins

Harry is one of Peter Parker's best friends who was once expected to be the successor of the Green Goblin after the death of his father, but in another alternate universe, Harry became a Hobgoblin instead. In this alternate universe, Harry was injected with the same serum that made his father Green Goblin, but after being injected, Harry became one of the Hobgoblins rather than Green Goblin.

7. Hobgoblin is The Joker

Now hold your horses! This point explains that the voice actor of Hobgoblin in the animated series is the same man who voiced the DC's Joker in the Batman Animated Series as well. Both Hobgoblin and Joker were voiced by Mark Hamill. Hamill himself admitted that he tried not to sound the same as each other.

Roderick Kingsley's younger brother, Daniel Kingsley, was once a Hobgoblin because he hoped to continue his brother's legacy. Unfortunately, Daniel Kingsley didn't last long as a Hobgoblin, because one of the Daily Bugle workers, Phil Ulrich, had followed him and found the Hobgoblin's hiding place. The meeting between the two of them became a meeting that ended in a fight, and the result was that Daniel died because Phil was superior to him.

9. Deadpool Was Once a Hobgoblin

The Hobgoblin's identity turned out to have been used and exploited by Deadpool, where Deadpool intentionally used this identity because it was an order from The Wizard to blow up a place. Unfortunately, Deadpool messed up because he blew up the wrong place, and with that, he decided not to want to use the Hobgoblin identity anymore.

10. In the 80s, Hobgoblin Officially Becomes Spider-Man's Main Villain
