When he was alive, Ned Leeds was one of the Bugle's top reporters. He became a crime-reporter once Frederick Foswell was killed saving JJJ's life. After a long engagement, he married former JJJ secretary Betty Brant. Ned Leeds knew Richard Fisk (a.k.a. the first Rose). JJJ would assign him to follow the Hobgoblin and have him discover the identity of the villain.
But Roderick Kingsley (the Hobgoblin) found about this and had Ned brainwahsed with the Winkler device. The device would make Leeds turn into a more agressive person (which would explain his anger towards people like Peter, Betty and Flash). Kingsley would have Ned "play" the Hobgolbin at some times, but when Kinglsey grew tired of being the Goblin, he decided to "retire". Kingsley would have problems with the first Jack 'O Lantern (Jason Macendale) at that time. When MacenDale would discover that Ned is the Hobgoblin and he would have Ned killed in Germany while he was wearing the Hobgoblin costume. Kingsley secluded himself to Europe and Macendale would become the new Hobgoblin. Kingsley later confessed to this to Betty and the Daily Bugle.
