  Ned Leeds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ned Leeds is a comic book character in the Marvel Comics universe, part of the supporting cast of Spider-Man, first introduced in 1964 in The Amazing Spider-Man # 25, by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Ned decided to turn Richard Fisk's identity as the Rose to his father, and Kingsley decided in turn that Ned was no longer needed as the Hobgoblin.
Ned Leeds was the main suspect when the Green Goblin was introduced to the series and co-plotter Steve Ditko actually wanted Leeds to be revealed as the Green Goblin, but in the end, Norman Osborn was revealed to be Spider-Man's archenemy.

Stern never even hinted once that Ned Leeds was a Goblin suspect (although he was immediately a fan favorite suspect), and Tom DeFalco didn't begin to focus any attention Ned's way until issue #260, when wife Betty was surprised she couldn't reach him where she thought he was supposed to be.
It could have been that Ned was beginning to feel drawn to the Kingsley building for reasons he didn't completely understand (perhaps beginning to pierce through the brainwashing) or he simply could have been flying around, and it was sheer coincidence that MJ saw him at that particular time.
Leeds really had no personality or function other than to be an ocassional background voice and to complicate Betty Brant's life, to lead Spidey to a certain story, or be the ocassional hostage, as he was for the Jackal during the first Clone Saga.

Neither Kingsley nor Leeds had contracted themselves out to another during the entire previous four years (the HobGoblin was allied with the Rose, as an equal, not a contract player), and their time as the HobGoblin was a tightly kept secret until Kingsley leaked it out to set up Leeds.
During this time, we learn that "Fisk" considered Ned Leeds to be the "second best friend" he ever had, and issue #87 has "Fisk" looking at the pictures of the three people that meant the most to him, his mother, Alfredo, and Leeds.
For the first time in a long while, we hear Spidey reference Ned Leeds' death, telling the Foreigner that he "still owes him." Unfortunately, Spidey's anger over Leeds' death seems misplaced, as the Foreigner reminds him that Leeds was simply business.
