Hobgoblin II

First Appeance:
The Story: When his methods became too extreme for the C.I.A.,Macendale set himself up as a criminal-for-hire. As Jack O'Lantern, he tangled with Machine Man, Spiderman and Silver Sable. Hired to be an enforcer for the Kingpin, Macendale joined the Rose and the original Hobgoblin. He and the Hobgoblin had a major falling out, however, when he refused to help the Hobgoblin chase down Spider-Man. This eventually led to Macendale's hiring the Foreigner to assassinate the Hobgoblin, at which point he took the Hobgoblin's equipment and criminal identity. He soon found he also inherited the Hobgoblin's enemies, Spiderman and the second Green Goblin, Harry Osborn. Macendale's obsessive need for power led him to try and make a deal with the demon N'astirh, who had him possessed. He remained in this form for some time before achieving separation from the demonic entity in Web of Spiderman 85. Having apparently learned nothing from this experience, he underwent physical alteration during his tenure with Gaunt, allowing himself to be implanted with cybernetic devices.
