BRIEF Bio -
Eric Kingsley, the grandson of Roderick Kingsley, was born in Charlestown, Boston as the son of the second Hobgoblin and a baker mother. After the death of his grandfather, the Hobgoblin brand and Roderick's fashion company fell into disrepair. Eric's father, Robert, was made CEO of the company and was the driving force behind its failure. Eventually, Robert sold the company and largely blew the money he had made on a new house, car and a large amount of alcohol. Robert became the second Hobgoblin soon after, utilizing his fathers old equipment. It didn't largely go as planned, and he stopped his crime fighting within about three months of doing it.
After, Eric was born, he tried to keep the Hobgoblin history secret from him. But Eric, being the inquisitive young man he was, eventually stumbled upon a cellar, hidden away underneath a carpet in a room under a staircase. The cellar contained all of the old Hobgoblin gear, something which Eric was amazed at. His father, having no explanation as to why his cellar contained military grade equipment, told Eric about his grandfather and the Hobgoblin legacy.
Eric was rather young at the time of the discovery and his father wouldn't even let him near the equipment until he was in his 20s. In the meantime, Eric finished school and went on to study engineering and business at university. After which, he modified the Hobgoblin gear and set out to do as his grandfather did and make a business out of the Hobgoblin name, something close to impossible in a year like 2099.
