So, the first Hobgoblin that Spidey fought was this guy?! Introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #244 (1983) by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr, Roderick Kingsley hired Arnold Donovan to test the Goblin formula that Kingsley recreated using Osborn’s notes. Kingsley would brainwash Donovan then and sent him to battle Spider-man. Kingsley would watch the fight, monitoring Donovan’s vital. When Donovan was about to be defeated and unmasked, Roderick controlled the glider to crash killing Donovan.

Since Roderick used Donovan to test this Hobgoblin formula and equipment, Donovan would wear the exact same suit as Roderick. Thus, you can use any classic Hobgoblin can be used for him.
