Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema created Demogoblin, a demonic entity that emerges from the psyche of the Hobgoblin. He is not an ordinary villain; he is a being driven by extreme religious fervor, flying on a mystical fire glider and throwing magical pumpkin bombs to purify sinners. His crusade makes him a unique threat to the wall-crawler.
The mystical fire engine and its pumpkin bombs 🔥
Unlike the original Hobgoblin, Demogoblin does not use conventional technology. His glider operates with mystical energy, generating flames that lift him at high speeds. His pumpkin bombs are magical artifacts that detonate with a purifying effect, designed to punish those he considers impure. This arsenal, combined with his demonic nature, grants him mobility and offensive power that surpass the physical limitations of a human.
The Goblin who went to mass and came back with a glider 🎃
Imagine going to a church and the priest telling you that hell is full of evildoers and you must throw explosive pumpkins at them. Something like that must have crossed Gerry Conway's mind when he created this character. Demogoblin is the sinister version of a street preacher, but with a flaming glider. If you see a pumpkin flying towards you, don't expect a Halloween pie; better run, because the sermon is going to be very, very direct.
