- For the supervillain, see Jack O'Lantern.
A jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin associated with the holiday Halloween. To make one, the top is cut off and the insides scooped out. A face or picture is carved into the side, a lit candle is placed inside, and the top replaced. The light then flickers giving an eerie effect.
The X-Men carved some pumpkins in preparation for trick or treaters.
The Hobgoblin's Pumpkin Bombs, later used by Green Goblin and Harry Osborn are based on a jack-o'-lantern.
Background[]
Even though a villain with name and abilities based on the Jack O'Lantern exists in the Marvel Universe, he has never appeared in the Animated Universe. In the comics Jason Macendale was the second person to use the identity before becoming the Hobgoblin. However, Jack O'Lantern was featured as a mini-boss in the Spider-Man video game.
