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.

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.

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.
