Description
After losing fights with Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, Jason Philip Macendale Jr., aka the Hobgoblin, took advantage of the Inferno crisis by following several demons back to their lair and confronting their demonic lord, N'astirh. Macendale wanted enough power to defeat his enemies, and offered his soul to N'astirh in exchange for such power. When N'astirh stopped laughing, the demon lord decided that Macendale's effrontery was worth something even if his soul wasn't, and had him possessed.

This gave Macendale the physical strength he craved, coupled with superhuman speed and endurance; unfortunately, the demon who possessed him proved to be incompatible, and the two fought many a battle for control of Macendale's physical form until the demon literally ripped away from its human host and began a separate existence as the Demogoblin.

Former Adventures and Death
Demogoblin was a religious fanatic who had no interest in personal wealth or position. He was determined to destroy all sinners and thus gain redemption for himself. Since his definition of sinner was rather strict and exempted only children, he found himself in continual conflict with Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Venom and even his former host, Macendale.

His interest in purifying New York City caused him to join with Carnage and Co., although he deplored Carnage's lack of discipline.

Later, on Halloween night, Demogoblin besieged the unholy Library of Rhan. In the midst of purging the cultists and exterminating their defenses, he was interrupted by a loud, high-pitched, ear-piercing scream. He disappeared in a flash of cosmic energy. Demogoblin soon found himself sitting on a throne underneath a subway station in San Francisco, surrounded by little green goblins. They had summoned him here to be their chosen leader. Thus, Demogoblin led them on to Alcatraz Prison, where he crossed paths with Venom and Morbius. As his two adversaries attacked him, he had been forced to retaliate with energy blasts and Pumpkin Bombs. One of the Bombs blew a section of the wall, exposing deadly sunlight to Morbius and the goblins; while it didn't kill Morbius, some of the goblins weren't so lucky. As Venom threw knocked him several yards out of the prison, Demogoblin managed to summon his glider and escape. Morbius and Venom nearly ruined his real plan: He viewed these goblins as no more than heretics, and so used them in order to locate the necklace used for the summoning. He found it in the possession of newly-elected Mayor Charles Palentine, the man who had planned this goblin invasion from the start. Snatching away the necklace from Palentine, Demogoblin ordered the goblins to send the sinner on his way to Hell; besides, a mere mortal had no real power over this talisman. He used the necklace's near godlike power to grow fifty feet tall, then led the goblins to the Golden Gate Bridge, where he ordered them all to dive into the bay and drown themselves. Satisfied, he tossed the necklace over the bridge, allowing it to dissolve; he was then returned to normal size. Just as Venom and Morbius came to thank Demogoblin for saving San Francisco, the maniac just laughed it off and traveled back to New York.

Demogoblin eventually forgave Macendale, which annoyed the Hobgoblin so much that he decided to rid the world of his other half once and for all. The final battle took place in a church. When a pillar in the church started to give way and threaten a nearby child, Demogoblin held the pillar up long enough for the child to escape, but was crushed to death when his strength gave out.

Ressurection and Absolute Carnage
Demogoblin was resurrected by Carnage using Shriek's body as a vessel, having ripped out her spine to claim the remnants of the Scorn symbiote attached to her central nervous system. Renaming herself "Demagoblin", the revived demon initiated a romantic relationship with Carnage. She and the symbiote-infected Man-Wolf were sent to hunt Misty Knight down and recaptured her, but not before she was able to radio for help. Both she and Man-Wolf had a brief confrontation with the other heroes. When she was about to kill Misty Knight, Man-Wolf regained his senses, giving time form him and the other heroes to escape.

The Cult of Saint D
Following Dark Carnage's death, Demagoblin began calling herself "Saint D" and took over an old church, recruiting homeless children into a cult based on her twisted version of Christianity. When a pair of elderly serial killers who had been preying on homeless children attempted to abduct one of her cultists, Demagoblin captured and killed them, leading to a confrontation with NYPD Detective Henley.
