The Origin of Marvel's JACK O'LANTERN

Hey, heroes! Thanks for watching another video! I'll be streaming again on Twitch again this weekend. On Saturday I'll be trying to finish Mega Man Zero while on Sunday I'll be playing more Demons' Souls on PS3. www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

Jason Macendale is a one of a kind. He's been Hobgoblin, Demogoblin and Jack O'Lantern. You could never tell what his identity would be next, but my favorite definitely would be Demogoblin, because they really gave an entire backstory on that character, mixing the science fiction of the Goblin with demon magic. Him struggling to serve the demon inside him and punish those it deemed worthy, who were basically everyone, just a great concept.

This is why the comics are superior to the movies There is no way something like this will ever be introduced to the MCU because it’s too “unrealistic” Comics have the amazing freedom of being just that, absolutely incredible video as always!

For a little-known villain outside of the comics, Macendale sure had a roller coaster of life. It's like the writers have complete freedom to do what they want with Macendale. "Now he's Hobgoblin... now he's half demon... now he's a cyborg." Not forgetting that his first alias started his own legacy.

It's crazy that flying platforms are so common in New York and yet no one has tried to just market them to the general public for commuting.

I clicked on the Jack Lennar video having no idea I was going to learn about hobgoblin at the same time. I don’t know why but a part of me felt like I was rooting for this dude to have a win. He just seem to lose a lot. 😅

Jack O'Lantern need Better Weapons.

I have wondered about this guy for a while

This was like a two-in-one video. We got the history of Jack O'Lantern and most of the history of Hobgoblin. A great start to the month of Halloween. Have you ever considered doing a video on the history of the Goblin legacy? The here have been at least a half dozen or so characters to use some form of Goblin in their costumed identity. We've had Green, Hob, and Red goblins, as well as Goblin Queens. it could be a fascinating look at how Norman Osborn has influenced many different villains and heroes to adopt some form of his costumed identity. As always MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE.

Might legit be my favorite spiderman villain. He's just so...not a heavy hitter. He's a villain who drops n to add a complication into a hero's life, usually at the worst possible time, tracking his story and his appearances is actually fun because he GOES AWAY sometimes and we might not see him for a long while before he shows up again. I'd say turn every Doc Ock or Green Goblin story into a Jack O Lantern story instead, but that'd defeat the point, huh?

I’ll admit i always liked macendale as the hobgoblin more than jack o lantern, that’s mainly because I don’t have any comics with Kingsley as the hobgoblin. Which is why I kinda have a soft spot for the mad jack version of the character.

It seems like Steve Ditko regretted his decades long grudge against his best creations and decided to create an analogue to the Green Goblin .

He looks more rad compared to Goblin!

Thank you for featuring Jack-o-Lantern! He holds a special place in my heart as he was Spidey’s foe in the very first Spider Man comic I ever bought with my own $$. My exposure to Spidey up to that point had been from the Spider Man and his Amazing Friends show, and I never got an idea of just how strong and powerful Spidey was. Until he ripped a quarter ton lead lined door and tossed it at Jacky, missing him by a hair just to mess with him. Thank you for bringing back such good memories of the local news stand where I bought this 😊!

Brian Michael Bendis wrote Secret War. He’s notorious for continuity snafus so I would disregard that.

Happy first day of spooky month, Fellow true believers 🎃

I like the newer version with the witch broom and drone bombs, the older version was like a poor man’s hobgoblin.

What would have happened if we saw the Jack'O'Lantern in the 90s Spider-Man animated series where we saw Hobgoblin? Do you think we will see him in the MCU and in the Sony universe?

Just in time for Halloween. Thank you. And you have the coolest voice

It's the Hob O'Lantern... I mean the JackGoblin!
