Roderick Kingsley would have used his fasion business as a front for his illegal activities, which would include rackettering, extortion, political bribery to steer elections in favor of the corporate elite like himself (akin to the gigantic tax cuts our modern politicians are trying to pass today.), prostitution, and money laundering.

Some of his henchmen would have also had dealings with OsCorp, allowing them to gain access to some of the Green Goblin's prototype weaponry and gear. After Gobby's demise, Kingsley has his scientists modify the gear and the performance-enhancers in order to allow himself to become the Hobgoblin. Also, he would first encounter the Spider-Friends instead of just Spider-Man alone.

Basically, a more realistic and modernized version of the classic Hobgoblin origin.
