That's counterbalanced by the fact that Sal Buscema is pretty much comics' #1 underrated workhorse, and any time he gets some recognition outside of Bronze Age weirdos like myself, the better.

He had nothing to do with Star Trek.

Hobgoblin's been like, eight different people who found Green Goblin gear/juice stashed away and decided that a bombing spree suddenly sounded like a brilliant plan. I think there was an plot where they all fought each other a few years back.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

Part of the issue with the Hobgoblin is that he was created with his identity intended to be a mystery with a definitive, preplanned answer... and then the writer left the book and it quickly turned into a contradictory and confusing roulette of people who were the Hobgoblin and retcons about who was the Hobgoblin first. This one is probably Roderick Kingsley?

The Ides of March is when Caesar was assassinated, not when the Roman Republic turned into the Roman empire. And what does that have to do with English?

I guess it's because the Shakespeare play popularized the phrase "beware the Ides of March"? Mostly just reads like some bizarre attempt to differentiate themselves from the Pi Day pack.

"The writer left" so undersells the thing.

Stern invents the character and decides it's Roderick Kingsley, but everyone else guesses that too early, so to preserve the mystery he has Hobgoblin and Kingsley appear in the same panel because actually it's his twin brother David Kingsley!
He leaves, and his editor DeFalco asks who it really is so they can keep writing the storyline then decides a twin brother is a huge cop out and decides it will be Richard Fisk.
A new editor comes on, Owsley, and asks DeFalco who it is and because they hate each other DeFalco lies to him and says it's Ned Leeds - Owsley responds by promptly killing Ned Leeds off in another comic because that's how he rolls with editorial decisions, and Owsley decides Hobgoblin will be revealed to be z-list villain The Foreigner. The writer at the time says that's stupid because it could only be Ned Leeds based on the clues, so they decide that wow it was Ned Leeds the whole time and nobody gets a climactic fight resulting in an unmasking hope you guys liked this whole FOUR YEAR Hobgoblin story arc!

Of course this leaves an opening in Spider-man's "jetsetting goblin" list, so lovely knock-off goblin Jack O' Lantern gets promoted into being the Hobgoblin in the meantime.

Then years later Stern gets back in the seat and writes a story that establishes that Roderick Kingsley was the real Hobgoblin the whole time he just mind-controlled Ned Leeds into being caught to cover for himself, so he kills Jack O' Lantern and resumes being Hobgoblin.

Not that day, no, but Caesar's death and the ensuing civil war led to the rise of Octavian/Augustus, who officially became the first Emperor a couple of years later. So it's not quite right, but it's not really wrong either.

I'd say there being an entire civil war between the assassination and Augustus becoming emperor is kind of an important detail. And the whole transition from Republic to Empire was such a vague, drawn-out process that it seems kind of dumb to put any particular date on it. You could just as easily say that Julius Caesar was the first emperor.
