I'll consider Hobgoblin using the pumpkins with the hallucinogenic gas inside them, but that's about it. I don't want to steer too far away from the Roderick Kingsley version of Hobgoblin.

How about Spider-Man's fight with the Hobgoblin leads to ESU where Dr. Connors' sample of the symbiote is kept hidden in storage but it's already reproduced. The battle releases it and it bonds with Cassidy.
