Only a handful of people including Peter, Mary Jane, and Betty know the truth! But what if they don't know the whole truth? Could Ned have been framed or brainwashed by someone else before he died? To the shock of the web-slinger's long-time fans...the original Hobgoblin resurfaces after having gone to ground years ago!
