Jason Phillip Macendale, best known as the Hobgoblin, is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside the Green Goblin) of the Spider-Man: The Animated Series episode "I Really, Really Hate Clones".
He is an alternate version of the Hobgoblin from Spider-Carnage's universe. After joining forces with him, the Hobgoblin partners with the Green Goblin in ravaging New York City, and the two inadvertently assist Spider-Carnage in his plans to wipe out all of reality.
He was voiced by Mark Hamill, who also played the Trickster in the 1990 The Flash show and the 2014 The Flash show, the Joker in the DC Animated Universe and the Arkham games, Malefor in The Legend of Spyro, Colonel Muska in Castle in the Sky, Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender and Maltruant in Ben 10: Omniverse.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Likely shares the same unsympathetic backstory his prime counterpart has, as well as his lack of redeeming qualities, given that his universe mostly differed when Peter Parker was cloned.
- Allies alongside the Green Goblin with Spider-Carnage to gleefully bring chaos, death and destruction to New York City, essentially turning it into a hellish wasteland. The only survivors left are the Scarlet Spider, Robbie Robertson and J. Jonah Jameson.
- Assists Spider-Carnage in building a machine capable of destroying all reality, though Hobgoblin was tricked into believing that it would be used to strip everyone from their free will, something he gladly accepted.
- Threatens to drop J. Jonah Jameson’s co-worker and friend Robbie Robertson from The Daily Bugle to his death, if Jameson doesn't help him and the Green Goblin break the microwave broadcaster's security system to retrieve the necessary equipment for Spider-Carnage's machine. Though Jameson agrees to help them, Hobgoblin ends up dropping Robbie anyway, though he is fortunately saved by the prime universe's Spider-Man.
- Blows up The Daily Bugle to stop Spider-Man from rescuing Jameson, nearly killing Spider-Man in the process and insulting Jameson when he laments the loss of his workplace.
- Tosses Jameson to the side of the building holding the device after using his hand print, which could have killed Jameson had he fallen off.
- Displays no love or care for the Green Goblin beyond admiring his depravity.
- Tries to kill prime Spider-Man and his alternate counterparts from other worlds.
- Easily meets the Heinous Standards of the Marvel Animated Universe for committing as much death and destruction possible with his limited resources, such as actually succeeding in destroying all of New York City.
Trivia[]
- Only the Hobgoblin of Spider-Carnage's universe counts as Pure Evil, while his prime universe counterpart doesn't due to mostly committing standard villainy and holding back on his resources, with the worst thing he did was opening a dangerous black hole just to steal stuff with.
- While blackmailing Herbert Landon, another Pure Evil, into giving him money in exchange for not exposing Landon's plans to commit genocide on the entire mutant race could make him count, he's more indifferent to the crime itself which is solely on Landon.
