On Earth-616, there are several people who have donned the Hobgoblin mantle over the years, and the same is true in other realities. One of the more interesting is the Hobgoblin of Earth-9500, which is set in the year 2211.

Robin Borne was the daughter of Spider-Man in the 23rd century, but after she developed a theory about the demise of the Multiverse, she created a suit and weapons, hoping to save everyone from her reality. Her father arrested her after learning that she would become a threat to the time stream in the near future.

She was rescued from imprisonment by her boyfriend, but removing her from stasis improperly drove Robin insane. She retrieved her suit and weapons from a "time sandwich," which kept them ten seconds in the future, and she became the Hobgoblin of her time.

Her weaponry consists of time-manipulation devices, which include something called a "retcon bomb." When she attempted to kill her father with one, she missed and hit her boyfriend, Lar, who was erased from existence.

From there, she traveled the Multiverse, intent on using retcon bombs on different versions of Spider-Man. When she went after Spidey from Earth-616, he webbed the bomb thrown at him and threw it back her way, wiping her from existence.
