Jason Macendale

Jason Macendale is a Marvel villain best known as the second Hobgoblin, a mercenary and former CIA operative who took up the Hobgoblin identity and its glider-and-pumpkin-bomb arsenal after acquiring the mantle from Roderick Kingsley.

Jason Macendale made his comics entrance in 1986, a product of the Copper Age's darker, more complex sensibility, debuting in the pages of Strange under the creative hands of Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. Over a remarkable 33-year publishing span, he's turned up across Strange, Spider-Man, and Daredevil, sharing the page with heavy-hitters like Peter Parker, Iron Man, J. Jonah Jameson, and the sinister Jack O'Lantern — formidable company that speaks to the dangerous corners of the Marvel universe he inhabits. Published through Editions Lug, his catalog footprint is a collector's niche find, the kind of character whose appearances reward the dedicated reader hunting through decades of interconnected storytelling.
