C3G March Madness - R1M4, Hobgoblin vs. Ms. Marvel
 

Re: C3G March Madness - R1M4, Hobgoblin vs. Ms. Marvel
 

Tough call, but I'm going Hobgoblin since I'd rather wait a little on Kamala and see if she gets a cheaper mini. I like her odds, since she's such a break-out character and she has both Avengers and Inhuman ties. Wouldn't mind either character winning this one, though.

I thought there was more than one Hobgoblin (or more than 2).

There have been at least half a dozen Hobgoblins, actually! This one would be Roderick Kingsley, the original, so I went without specifying a secret identity - he's "Hobgoblin" in the same way Norman Osborn is "Green Goblin."

Re: C3G March Madness - R1M4, Hobgoblin vs. Ms. Marvel
 

There've been a few, but the most famous by far is Roderick Kingsley. He's the classic Hobgoblin. He's had three or four flunkies use the equipment, which has inflated the number of Hobgoblins a little.

Kingsley retired for a while and Jason Macendale (aka Jack O'Lantern) became the new Hobgoblin, but Kingsley killed Macendale when he decided to come out of retirement and resume his criminal career.



Phil Urich is the third Hobgoblin of note. He's got a slightly different powerset and toolset (notably packing wings instead of a glider, and he's got a sonic scream). He's the nephew of Bugle reporter Ben Urich and was originally a heroic version of the Green Goblin before he went bad and became the Hobgoblin. Kingsley has allowed him to operate as the Hobgoblin, so long as he pays licensing fees.

The version we're voting on is Kingsley. The original and the most widely known.

On the mini note, triplicate girl looks a lot like Ms Marvel

Maybe if you're a lot handier with paints than I am, she does.:p

Went with Hobgoblin on this one. I've had his mini now for a few years with no card to show for it.

I'm a Spiderbro, so I'm going Hobgoblin

Re: C3G March Madness - R1M4, Hobgoblin vs. Ms. Marvel
 

Sorry ms marvel, but I have a strange thing for goblins that I just can't explain.;) Also, I'm with Yoda on having the mini forever now. It needs a rightful card.

Just a reminder to anyone who has yet to vote why they should vote for Ms Marvel

-She would be the first Inhuman we've gotten

-She would be the first Marvel Now character

-She would be the first Muslim character (this could be a pro or con for some)

-She's super fun!

- The demand for Hobgoblin is so high that you're probably going to get him this year anyway, so why not vote for a character that would otherwise take longer to get released instead of one who's almost guaranteed to get made soon?

-She had a team up with Wolverine, and with Spider-Man!

Re: C3G March Madness - R1M4, Hobgoblin vs. Ms. Marvel
 

This is an absolute heartbreaker for me, because I want both characters so strongly... but Ms. Marvel is trailing so she gets my vote!

I expected this to be the closest match in the first round, too. Shows what I know. :lol:
