9. Who-bgoblin?!

I'm…uh…I'm just extremely proud of that title. Just enjoy that. That's a good pun.

The Original Story: When introduced, The Hobgoblin was a bold new Spider-Man villain. And at least some of that was owed to the mystery surrounding his identity. Roger Stern planted seeds and hints and set up the character for a big reveal. Then he left the book, and another writer revealed that Ned Leeds, who was already dead, had been the Hobgoblin.

The Retcon: Years later, when Stern was given the opportunity to come back to the book, he decided to fix everything and complete his original Hobilty-Gobilty story. Turns out Ned was framed and the real Hobgoblin was"¦Roderick Kingsley, aka the dude who it was always supposed to be!!!

It's honestly amazing that someone was able to reinstate their original vision back into reality after all that time had passed. And Ned Leeds' name was finally cleared. And I got to write the best pun title of my career. You're all welcome.
