Who is Demogoblin?

Demogoblin is a demonic entity that emerged when a demon was separated from Jason Macendale (the Hobgoblin), taking on a goblin-like form and embarking on a fanatical crusade to punish sinners, wielding hellfire-infused pumpkin bombs and a glider.

Few villains crawl out of the late-'80s Marvel cosmos with quite the infernal energy of Demogoblin, who first menaced readers in The Spectacular Spider-Man #147 in 1989, conjured by the legendary team of Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema. A creature of the Copper Age at its darkest and most ambitious, this demonic terror has haunted the Spider-Man corner of Marvel ever since, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Spider-Man, Venom, and Eddie Brock — a rogues' gallery that signals just how deep into the Marvel underworld this character operates. With appearances spanning from Venom: The Enemy Within to Marvel Comics Presents and even the landmark Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man, Demogoblin has proven surprisingly durable across 36 years of continuity. If you love your Marvel mythology laced with genuine menace and that unmistakable late-'80s edge, this is one sinister figure well worth tracking down.
