One of the things I've always wondered about was how Green Goblin and Hobgoblin compared to Spider-Man. Most of the general evidence is that they're around the same power after taking the formula. The odd part here is Kraven. He wanted to outdo Spider-Man in terms of being Spider-Man (Kraven's Last Hunt), but I was never under the impression that he had comparable power.

Today I'd like to take a look at most of the statements about their powers in comparison to each other and Spidey.

Kraven

In the story "Beware the rage of a desperate man", Jason Macendale was given an elixir that gave him powers similar to Kraven:

I know Kraven easily crushed Vermin in Last Hunt, but I never thought it was because Kraven himself possessed strength anywhere close to Spidey's. I always assumed he was in the 1-2 ton range rather than 10. Or he did a great job in never displaying his incredible power for whatever reason.

Harry Osborn

Harry was shown to be on the same level as Spidey as well with his upgraded version of the formula:

Lefty Donovan

Lefty Hobgoblin was another who was said to be about as strong as the Green Goblin:

The main issue with Lefty was that he still had the side-effects from the original Green Goblin formula. He was also nothing more than a test subject.

Roderick Kingsley

Kingsley seemed to eliminate those side-effects and became as strong (or stronger) as the Green Goblin:

Norman also noted that they were "evenly matched" during their encounter:

Jason Macendale

When N'astirh turned Macendale into a demon, he was far more powerful than before:

The funny thing is even though he was greatly enhanced with the demonic power, Demogoblin was later shown to be completely powerless against a Macendale that was said to be around Green Goblin's level of power after taking Kraven's elixir. It's odd.

Now Cybergoblin seemed to be Macendale's most powerful state:

While he caught Riley by surprise, the dominance was quite clear.

Overall, there are instances where it seems like all of the Goblins are comparable in power, but there are others where it seems like there's some form superiority. Which Goblin do you guys believe is the strongest? Or is there not a strongest one?
