"Hobart is rather outgoing and sociable. He is also a talented musician, a trait which he uses within his performing art pieces. Hobart has high praise for himself, referring to himself as “this cool the whole time”; when he unmasks in front of Miles."

Comparison: Owner Jim Irsay
This comparison is clearly nothing more than a fun nod to the Indianapolis Colts owner, Jim Irsay, who is known to not only have a massive hobby in collecting historical music relics, but for his performances with The Jim Irsay Band.
Jim Irsay is one of the most interesting figures in professional sports, especially when it comes to owners as they typically stray away from the limelight. Not Mr. Irsay though. He could not be more outgoing so is there really need for any more convincing? I mean, just imagine a musical Spider-Man rendition that features Jim Irsay and upon removing his mask he says, "I've been this cool the whole time." Sounds pretty spot-on to me.
