Hobgoblin in Dark Reign?
Joey Q answers if Roddy will have some role in Dark Reign. As to make this legal I'm posting a classic Hobgoblin moment from Hobgoblin Lives.

From today's Cup O'Joe:

http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21973

Kiel Phegley: CBR Forums member bloc-op was one of a few people asking, "Is there any chance to see the Hobgoblin in Dark Reign? It would be great to see him in that storyline. I think he is not use a his full potential he should be with the Zodiac gang."

Joe Quesada: It's always a possibility, bloc-op, but I'll be honest with you right now, at the moment there are no plans for Hobgoblin and I don't think we'll see him during Dark Reign.

Jonah Weiland: Why not?

Joe Quesada: It's just that we've got enough! [laughs] There comes a point where everything that's in the story has got to be in the story for a reason. So I don't think you'll be seeing him in Dark Reign.

*sob*

What is it with Joe and his Hobgoblin bias? The original hasn't been seen in over ten years in the regular 616. The new Hobgoblin who appeared in Secret War hasn't been seen since the Red Sonja/Spidey crossover. What gives Joe? Heck you even ask them a question if they could reprint the Hobgoblin Saga and they'll just chuckle and say, "Wasn't there one released like in the 90s?"

Yeah there was.. AND IT'S OUT OF PRINT. *sigh*

What is it with Marvel currently and their anti-Hobgoblin agenda? Too many Goblins in the house? Come on, would one more Goblin really be too much?

I guess we can only hope then either Roddy returns again in MC2 or Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3 is confirmed and come's here sooner. I really miss that magnificent bastard. But I digress, if Marvel just continues his legend of magnificent bastardy will just grow and grow. After all Roddy show's us crime does pay. *sniff*

Anyway to make this legal, from Hobgoblin Lives #1 when Roderick decides he's had enough of that idiot:

	Because if they used a really good villain, the heroes would have even less hope. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah but in this case, I mean techincally for the moment Kingsley hates Norman more probably than Spidey or any hero at the moment. The only one who be a thorn in his side would be Betty Brant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One day, writers will realize that hero vs. villain formulas need to be spiced up. Had they any brains, they'd have a third player in Dark Reign, so it might be a little less obvious where the end result will tilt. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'd guess that probably Spidey hates Norman more than any person in the world, except maybe Harry at times. With any other hero, it's a "I hate you because you're evil and the world isn't safe with you around," kind of hate. With Spider-Man it's a "You killed the woman I loved in front of me (and that's just the beginning of a long list) and every time I hear your name, I want to rip your heart out of your chest with my bare hands" kind of hate. At least, it should be, though I don't know if they've gone there since Amazing #122.
