Plot
Wilson Fisk was opening a new criminology department as part of E.S.U when the Hobgoblin attacked and tried to kill Fisk. Peter Parker saved Fisk and then changed into his Spider-Man costume and then chased after Hobgoblin, who eventually escaped from Spider-Man. The Hobgoblin returned to his employer, Norman Osborn, who refused to pay Hobgoblin as he hadn't killed Fisk. Hobgoblin then went to Fisk's building as he was curious as to why Osborn wanted him dead.

Peter, having returned to his Aunt May's, was talking to her about the idea of him being a roommate of Harry Osborn's. Aunt May was happy to let Peter move out as she was planning on moving in with Anna Watson now that her niece, Mary Jane Watson, had moved out to live with some friends.

Meanwhile, the Hobgoblin discovered that Wilson Fisk was the Kingpin and, after telling him that Norman Osborn hired him to kill Fisk, was given better weapons, that Alistair Smythe developed, and was sent to eliminate Osborn. Hobgoblin then went off to Peter and Harry's flat and kidnapped Harry whilst Aunt May, who had come round to visit Peter, fainted from the shock. Harry was blindfolded and taken back to the Kingpin who then refused to pay the Hobgoblin who then went off to see Norman Osborn.

Norman sent the Hobgoblin to kill the Kingpin and bring back his son but, en route to Fisk's base, Hobgoblin was attacked by Spider-Man who wanted to pay back the Hobgoblin for his Aunt May's condition and the fact that he kidnapped Harry.
