The Return of Hydro-Man: Part 1 - S5-E7

Other mistake: When Spider-Man catches up to Mary Jane and Hydro-Man at the foundry, he webs up Hydro-Man's left wrist. When the shot changes to Spider-Man landing, he is not holding onto the web-line. When the shot changes back to Hydro-Man, his arm his pulled with the web-line remaining taut, even though Spider-Man is not holding the web. If Hydro-Man was moving his arm on his own, then the web-line would be slack.

Continuity mistake: When Spider-Man is in the lab analyzing Mary Jane's jacket for clues, the inside of the door to to the lab has the door knob on the right side. When Debra Whitman is trying to get in the lab, the door knob on the outside of the door is on the right side as well, when it should be on the left side. The inside knob also disappears when the security guards break the door down.

Trivia: Around the same time this show was airing, James Cameron was in the midst of developing a Spider-Man film which would have featured Sandman and Electro as the villains. Due to this plan, Sandman never appeared on this show despite being a prominent member of Spidey's rogue's gallery. Electro eventually made an appearance in the show's final season once it was determined that Cameron's film would never come to fruition, though the Electro that appeared on this show was a bastardized version of his comics counterpart.

Answer: In the comics, Hobgoblin's true identity was kept a mystery for a long time intentionally and while many fans deduced it was Kingsley, and creator Roger Stern was leaning that way, Stern left the series in 1984. In 1987 Hobgoblin's identity was revealed to be Ned Leeds and then Macendale became Hobgoblin. It wasn't until 1997 that Sterns wrote the mini-series "Hobgoblin Lives" and retconned Kingsley as the original Hobgoblin.

Answer: I could be wrong, but I believe the Hobgoblin in Marvel Comics around the same time this show was airing was also Jason Macendale. I have a Hobgoblin trading card from around 1992 or 1993, and it identifies him as Jason Phillips Macendale when listing his real name.
