He claimed that he was a member of a demonic group known as the 'Righteous,' demons who sought redemption for their sins by exterminating other demons and destroying evil wherever they found it.

OAFE - Spider-Man Origins: Demogoblin review (765 words)
Since Demogoblin is a straight repaint of an earlier figure, most of this review will be copied from that one; because, really, if you have one figure, you have them both.
Demogoblin is dressed in tattered rags - a blue suit with orange trim and bare arms.
