This guy is proof that even the most heroic people can turn insane with the goblin formula. Introduced in Web of Spider-Man #125 (1995) by Terry Kavanagh and Steven Butler, the nephew of Ben Urich, Phil was helping his uncle investigate Oscorp’s building when they were beset by attacker. Hiding, Phil stumbled upon the Goblin Formula, bathing in it and gain the powers. he threw on a new Goblin suit and defeated the attackers. He then tried to use the identity as the new Green Goblin to fight crime, usually beside another hero like Spider-man and Daredevil. During the Onslaught saga, he was traumatise into quitting being a hero.

After spending some time as a reporter and later was one of the Loners, he began working for his uncle at Frontline. There he developed a crush on Norah Winters, who was date Randy Robertson at the time. Looking to impress her, he looked into one of the Green Goblin’s hideout and found Daniel Kingsley’s Hobgoblin there. Phil fought against the villain, killing him. He then took the new Hobgoblin costume and became Hobgoblin himself. He first attacked Horizon Lab and stole an experiment there before being chased away by Spider-man. He took this experiment to Kingpin,who hired him as one of his enforcers. He would battle other hero like Spider-gril and Agent Venom, beofre being attack by Roderick Kingsley’s Hobgoblin. After the fight, Kingsley allowed Urich to remain Hobgoblin for a fee.

Urich would continue as Hobgoblin for a while until the payment to Kingsley became too much for him and he had to rob banks to pay him. He would be arrest but freed by Menace, who took him to Osborn to join his Goblin Army as Goblin Knight. This eventually lead to a war with Kingsley’s criminal franchise, which was stopped by the return of the true Spider-man. Urich would take over the Goblin Army as Goblin King, trying to build a criminal empire. After a defeat by Spider-man and Agent Anti-Venom, Urich stumbled upon Osborn’s hideout and was killed by the Carnage Symbiote, who had merged with Osborn to become the Red Goblin.

While he is more famous for his role as the heroic Green Goblin, Urich wasn’t on many people list for a Marvel Legends figure. None the less, he would receive a figure as his Hobgoblin identity as a BAF in in his self titled wave.
