The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

The original Hobgoblin, wealthy fashion designer Roderick Kingsley, gains access to a secret base once utilized by the original Green Goblin. Though initially lacking Norman Osborne’s strength-enhancing formula, Kingsley uses the other equipment stored within the secret base to become the Hobgoblin. Kingsley ultimately acquired the aforementioned enhancement formula, initially tested the compound on his thug, Lefty Donovan, manipulating the latter into temporarily becoming the Hobgoblin, however Donovan is defeated by Spider-Man. Kingsley subsequently uses the strength-enhancing formula on himself and became even more powerful than the original Green Goblin.
