History: When his methods became too extreme for the C.I.A., Macendale set himself up as a criminal-for-hire. As
Jack O'Lantern, he tangled with Machine Man, Spider-Man and Silver Sable. Hired to be an enforcer for the
Kingpin, Macendale joined the Rose and the original Hobgoblin. He and the Hobgoblin had a major falling
out, however, when he refused to help the Hobgoblin chase down Spider-Man. This eventually led to
Macendale's hiring the Foreigner to assassinate the Hobgoblin, at which point he took the Hobgoblin's
equipment and criminal identity. He soon found he also inherited the Hobgoblin's enemies, Spider-Man
and the second Green Goblin, Harry Osborn.

Macendale's obsessive need for power led him to try and make a deal with the demon N'astirh, who had
him possessed. He remained in this form for some time before achieving separation from the demonic
entity in Web of Spider-Man 85. Having apparently learned nothing from this experience, he underwent
physical alteration during his tenure with Gaunt, allowing himself to be implanted with cybernetic devices.
