Note: Although there has been mystery about the true identity of the first Hobgoblin.  It is known that all of the other Hobgoblins were either a criminal hired by Kingsley named Lefty Donovan, or like Flash Thompson and Ned Leeds manipulated to divert suspicion away from himself.

The second criminal to go by the name Hobgoblin, Jason Macendale, believed he had the original Hobgoblin assassinated, when he hired the Foreigner to kill Ned Leeds and retrieve the costume so that he could assume the identity.

Origin
Fashion designer, Roderick Kingsley used questionable and ruthless business practices to develop a financial empire that reached far beyond the fashion industry.  Unsatisfied with conventional methods of doing business, he search for the hideout of the Green Goblin, who was believed dead, to procure his equipment and strength enhancing formula.  Knowing of the formulas effect on Norman Osborn, Kingsley modified it hoping to avoid the side effect of insanity, although all indications are that he failed, and he became the cackling criminal know as Hobgoblin.
