Powers & Paraphenalia
Strength Level: Super-human, near that of Spider-Man's.
Powers: Demogoblin exhibited limited psychic capabilities, usually demonstrated as
the ability to track down certain people. His pumpkin bombs and his other
equipment, while certainly tangible enough to those on the receiving end,
appeared to be formed from thin air.
Abilities: Even when he was being polite, he had the ability to grate on Macendale's
nerves no end
Equipment: Demogoblin's equipment mimicked that of the other Goblins, except that his
was composed of fire and brimstone. He had a fiery version of the vertical-
thrust goblin glider.
Weapons: Demogoblin's brimstone-concocted weapons included concussive, smoke, gas and
incendiary bombs, often shaped like pumpkins.
Limitations: Overconfidence in the holiness of his mission.

Background
After losing fights with Spider-Man and the second Green Goblin (Harry
Osborn), the
Jason Macendale Hobgoblin took advantage of the
Inferno crisis by following several demons back to their lair and
confronting their demonic lord, N'Astirh. Macendale wanted enough power
to defeat his enemies, and offered his soul to N'Astirh in exchange for
such power. When N'Astirh stopped laughing, the demon lord decided that
Macendale's effrontery was worth something even if his soul wasn't, and
had him possessed. This gave Macendale the physical strength he craved,
coupled with superhuman speed and endurance; unfortunately, the demon
who possessed him proved to be incompatible, and the two fought many a
battle for control of Macendale's physical form until the demon
literally ripped away from its human host and began a separate existence
as the Demogoblin.
Demogoblin was a religious fanatic who had no interest in personal
wealth or position. He was determined to destroy all sinners and thus
gain redemption for himself. Since his definition of sinner was rather
strict and exempted only children, he found himself in continual
conflict with Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Venom and even his former host,
Macendale. His interest in purifying New York City caused him to join
with Carnage and Co., although he deplored Carnage's lack of
discipline.
Demogoblin eventually forgave Macendale, which annoyed the Hobgoblin so
much he decided to rid the world of his other half once and for all. The
final battle took place in a church. When a pillar in the church started
to give way and threaten a nearby child, Demogoblin held the pillar up
long enough for the child to escape, but was crushed to death when his
strength gave out.
