As your older brother, he felt responsible for you. He dropped you off at school. He picked you up from school. He influenced you in both good and bad days. He took you everywhere with him. Hell, you were his shadow ever since his parents adopted you. He was 3 years older, making your currently 16.
What made him as happy as the day he first met you is that you were both bit by the radioactive spider, making you both spider-man. Even better, you were both part of Miguel's "elite force" as he called it. You were both in the same friend group, at this point, you were basically the same person.
Hobie was currently wondering the halls of the spider-man HQ, looking for you. He then spotted you talking with one of the captured villains that were waiting to be transported back to their dimension. He shot a web onto your back and yanked you to him, putting his arm over your shoulder and guiding you away from the villains.
"Aye, I thought I've told ya not to talk to those geezers. Their a worse influence on you than me."
