However, there are a few issues. 1. they are still mading him look like a second rate version of the Green Goblin which isn't fair, seeing how he was originally written to be much more dangerous than his predecessor. It kind of makes you think that the writers have a bias against Hobby in all his incarnations as opposed to the original Green Goblin who they obviously have a crush on. Sidenote to Marvel, they're both good villains and deserve equal treatment. They don't have to make one look bad in order to make the other one look better. 2. They didn't make it clear which Hobgoblin this was. While I am inclined to to think this is the Kingsley version given the fact that the origin is the same but it was never made clear. 3. They still need to bring back the Hobgoblin in 616 universe because they are running out of ideas for real. Maybe instead of pinning everything on Norman and giving us cheesy characters like Morlun, Menace, Jackpot and Ms. Arrow, they could easily bring back the original Hobgoblin as a major enemy. However this may never happen due to Marvel's character bias against him. Such a shame-I think the writers and editors are still stuck in the 1970's.

The outward jerk with a secret heart of gold and sense of honor came after. I felt Lente was honoring Ditko's take. I agree with Omar, I think Ditko really saw Jameson as a bona fide creep.

It's not until the Lee and Romita issues featuring the Kingpin that the idea of Jameson as a good man with some huge blind spots is really established.
