Joseph McClane (Earth-2326)

"I know who you are under that mask. You're just another criminal, and one way or another, I'm going to bring you down in flames."

- Officer Joseph McClane

Joseph McClane is a former military assassin who came to work for Norman Osborn, who placed him within the New York City Police Department, where he worked his way up and quickly became Captain George Stacy's second in command. After the emergence of Spider-Woman, McClane dedicated his career as a police officer to bringing her in, but Norman had other ideas, fabricating the identity of the Hobgoblin for McClane, which he quickly lost himself to, going completely insane and betraying his creator.
