Spider-Man: Origin of the Hobgoblin #[nn]

In "Double Defeat!", Spider-Man races to unravel the truth behind Madame Belladonna’s identity, uncovering a web of deception tied to fashion queen Desiree Vaughn-Pope and her scheming sister Narda—secretly the real Belladonna. With Roderick Kingsley in danger and the disgruntled Prowler II poised for revenge, Spider-Man must outwit a deadly trap before blood is spilled.

In "Shadow of Evils Past," a desperate small-time crook named Georgie stumbles upon one of Norman Osborn’s hidden Green Goblin lairs and flees with the secrets inside. He seeks out Roderick Kingsley, a man whose true identity remains hidden, but the moment he shares what he’s found, Georgie’s fate is sealed. Kingsley, now wielding the Goblin’s arsenal, begins to test the equipment—unleashing something far darker than he ever expected.

In "The Hatred of the Hobgoblin," Spider-Man and Black Cat share a quiet dinner before the night turns violent, plunging them into a clash with the menacing Hobgoblin. As their partnership is tested in the heat of battle, Black Cat’s inexperience proves a liability—leaving the villain to slip away, and the aftermath hanging in the air.

In "Endings!", Spider-Man races to stop the Hobgoblin after a fiery explosion rocks Green Goblin’s lair, only to find himself trapped in a crashing battle van and barely escaping the river’s wreckage. With the Hobgoblin’s mask in hand and a new mystery unfolding at the Daily Bugle—where JJJ has handed control to Robbie and turned publisher—Spider-Man is drawn toward a colossal alien structure in Central Park, pulled by an unseen force. The path ahead leads to the Secret Wars.
