Personality
Deceptive:
The master of misdirection, Roderik constantly planning and scheming. There is always a cloak of
lies and deception protecting him. From using his twin brother as a stand in. or brainwashing street
criminals to test out hobgoblin tech. Roderick is always just out of reach for anyone coming for him
directly. You can never be sure he's given you the truth. Or even that you've actually met
him.
Ruthless Ambition:
From growing up in Belize, the elite millionaire class in New York city, and building a fashion
empire along the way. Roderick didn't get to where he is by honest hard work alone. Kingsley ltd is
built on the backs of many people he's cheated betrayed and stolen from. There is nothing he won't
do to make more money and gain more clout. Plagerism, Hostile takeovers, coperate espionage,
organized crime, nothing is off the table when it comes to getting what he wants.
Vainglorious:
Roderick is world famous Fashion designer, and its gotten to his head. He is incredibly Vain,
self-centered. A general egomaniac with a flair for style and drama that makes him very eccentric.
He also tends to hold grudges over perceived slights and bruises to his ego. His public humiliation
at the hands of Bella Donna has left him enbittered and craving revenge. Blaming everyone but
himself for his downfall.
Character Sheet
Powers
Goblin Formula:
Roderick's body has been radically altered by exposure to a mutagenic chemical concoction he
calls the Goblin Formula. Roderick's body has been singificantly improved well beyond human maximum,
giving him superhuman reflexes, stamina and speed approximately ten times that of the human norm.
His strength has reached a superhuman level, allowing him to rip a man's limbs from his body or
crumple a car door in his grip, with a maximum lift/press level of 10 tons. His body's tissues are
extremely resilient, allowing him to withstand multiple story falls, being hit by a car or taking a
blow of moderate superhuman strength relatively undamaged. Beyond that, his enhanced metabolism
causes him to heal at an accelerated rate, with cuts and bruises disappearing almost immediately,
broken bones taking hours and intense enough to let him eventually recover and survive from
seemingly mortal wounds, albeit with a significant amount of rest and time.
Skills
Businessman:
Roderick is a ruthless businessman with a reputation as a for driving competitors out of
business. Through stealing IP, hiring away key members of rival businesses, insider trading and
every other dirty trick in the book Kingsley has left a trail of ruin in his path to success.
nothing matters beyond the profits, except the ocasional indulgence of his ego.
Combat:
Even before taking up the mantle of the Hobgoblin, Kingsley had been paying to have some of the
best fight trainers in the world train him in order to keep fit. Since finding the goblin hideout
Roderick has begun looking into finding of the deadlier members of the criminal underworld to
advance his training even further.
Psychological Warfare:
Having intimate knowledge of how people can be psychologically influenced, Rodierick uses all
his advertising experience to mold the hobgoblin into symbol of Terror and Chaos. He hopes to follow
and surpass the terroristic nature of the Green Goblin. His constant scheming and deception help him
exploit psychological vulnerabilities of his targets.
Resourceful Scientist:
Though not particulaly known for his scientific genius, Roderick was able to use his resources
and connections to customize his gear. He tasked many scientist on his payroll and black market
dealers help him to reverse engineer and improve upon the Green Goblin's tech.
Resources
Costume:
The Goblin costume is designed of advanced polymers and kevlar weave, providing solid armor with
maximum flexibility. It is shockproof, flame-retardant and resistant to puncture by bullets and
conventional knives. His mask includes thermal and infrared capabilities, wireless hook-up to give
control of devices such as the Goblin Glider and glare-protection lenses over his eyes. Filtration
in the nosepiece protects him from the effects of his own gases and chemical weapons.
Glider:
The Green Goblin's Glider is among his most signature elements, the flying machine that enables
him to create mayhem all over New York. Designed to look like an oversized bat, the Glider has a
wingspan that can extend from six to ten feet depending on speed and wind currents, compensating
automatically for differences in air pressure. Using the rocket booster at its back, the glider can
reach speeds of up to 200 mph, unheard of air speed in limited urban environments, making it
difficult to track, pursue or stop. The Glider is extremely maneuverable, enabling the Goblin to
perform complex tricks and positioning in aerial combat. In terms of weaponry, the Glider possesses
a set of ten mini-missiles, each capable of detonating a semi-truck cab, along with rapid-fire
rotary machine guns able to fire up to 40 rounds per second.
Kingsley Ltd.:
Kingsley Ltd. grew from a start up in new york to quickly exploding into being one of the most
profitable companies in the industry. Kingsley Ltd. has since expanded into one of the larger
multinational companies with subsidiaries in many different fields from Chemicals to clothing to
egineering. If Roderick needs it he probably has stake in a company that can provide it.
Wealth:
Roderick's majority controlling stake in Kingsley Ltd. is just the start. Through clever
investing, and sometimes illegal trading and he's taken his networth from $575m before taking
Kingsley public to now massing an impressive $8.5 billion. With homes in NYC, Milan, Paris, Belize
and Santa Prisca. Kingsley also boasts a very impressive car collection and even a mega
yacht.
Weapons:
The Green Goblin employs a wide variety of personal weapons of his own design. Most super
-combatant level gadgets are within his realm of invention, but he has a few personal favorites upon
which he often relies:
Pumpkin Bombs - Resembling flaming jack o'lanterns, these grenades
can explode with the force of several sticks of dynamite, equivalent to a powerful car bomb. He also
has varieties which release tear gas, hallucinatory gases and knockout gas.
Razorbats - Throwing
weapons edged with razor sharp carbon steel, capable of puncturing light body armor and extremely
painful.
Zap Gloves - Weapons built into the gloves of his costume allow him to throw lightning-
like electricity blasts from the tip of his finger, as well as provide incredible shocking grasp
capabilities if he gets a hold on someone, more than capable of knocking an ordinary person
unconscious or even killing someone with vulnerable health conditions.
Weaknesses
Duality of Man:
The chaotic and cruel Hobgoblin, and intense Kingsley. These 2 personas are opposite sides of
the coin. But the quiet scheming Roderick shares very little incommon with the wild destructive
Hobgoblin. Though spared the full insanity of the regular Goblin Formula Roderick still finds
himself now carrying a dark passenger in his mind. It's unclear at times if Roderick is really
himself or has been sunk into the backgroud by the Hobgoblin.
Obsessive:
Roderick holds grudges, he holds on to every slight every insult. He keeps lists and always
scheming to hurt those that have found themselves on his lists of enemies. after beyong humbled by
spier-man once Hobgoblin is bound sn determined to "humble" him to avenge his wounded pride.
Roderick never forgets any negative interaction
Secret Identity:
Being outed as a terrorist and avillain would understandably hurt the stock prices of Kingsley
ltd. Roerick has to take many precautions and layers of misdirection to make sure no one knows that
the Terrible Hobgoblin and Eccentric billionaire Roderick Kingsley are in fact one and the
same.
Vainglorious:
Roderick is a strange fellow, a criminal mastermind immersed in the culture of the fashion
world. Roderick obsesses over his looks and his reputation with 'high' society. He has a reputation
for an explosively short fuse, particularly where his sense of design and style is insulted.
