7. Hobgoblin (Phil Urich)

(Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Comics)

Of all of the Goblins, I know most people will be expecting good ol' Norman Osborn to make this list, but when I think of scary-crazy Goblins, I think of Phil.

Phil was the nephew of Marvel mainstay Ben Urich, and while helping his uncle on an assignment, he found himself doused in Goblin formula. He swiped the costume and gadgets, and decided to become the Green Goblin"¦but a good Green Goblin. Like, a heroic goblin.

Dude, at that point, pick a new name. There's no redeeming a name that three previous people used for villainy. But Phil was a hero for a while, until the suit was damaged in battle and he had to retire. He became a part of a former superhero support group called The Loners before the Goblin serum's after-effects drove him insane and he betrayed them.

He returned to Spider-Man's life as The Hobgoblin with a wingsuit and a firesword, which is, I'll admit, pretty rad. But his weird scary goblin laugh and truly broken psyche make him the craziest Goblin by my measure.
