    Short summary describing this character.

    Origin

    Quentin Beck was an expert in designing special effects devices and stage illusions, as well as a master hypnotist and magician, and an amateur chemist. He also possessed a wealth of knowledge in hand-to-hand combat techniques that he learned as a stuntman. Unfortunately, all these things did little to help his career in the film industry. One day, a colleague joked that the easiest way to become famous was to take out a costumed hero. It was here that Mysterio was born.

    Creation

    Mysterio was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #13 (1964).

    The Rise of Mysterio

    No Caption Provided

    Mysterio chose Spider-Man as his target. He viewed Spider-Man as a relatively inexperienced and weak hero, and felt it would be easy to take him down. Quentin joined forces with the Tinkerer and together the two developed a scheme to steal some secret military plans. They used their combined intellect to develop an alien disguise to hide their true intentions for these plans. The scheme was foiled by Spider-Man, but because of the villains' disguises their true identities remained anonymous.

    Beck continued to study Spider-Man's behavior and his actions and when he felt he was ready, he attacked as Mysterio. Armed with gas that could confuse Spidey's spider-sense, hallucinogenic gas, and chemicals that could easily dissolve his webbing, he saw the first battle to be an easy win. Unfortunately for Mysterio, Spider-Man never goes down without a fight. Such was the case, and Mysterio was defeated and arrested.

    The Sinister Six

    After several failed attempts at the webslinger's life, Mysterio accepted Dr. Octopus' invitation to join the Sinister Six, a group of malcontents each with their own grudge against Spider-Man. As part of this team of evil doer's, it was Mysterio's job to construct robotic replicas of the X-Men to subdue Spidey. But Spider-Man quickly realized that he wasn't fighting his old allies and used his spider-sense to find Beck's remote control room and defeated him yet again.

    The Battle Against Spider-Man

    After the dispersion of the Sinister Six, Mysterio continued to battle with Spider-Man to his own dismay. For a time it was thought that he had died in prison as his old friend Daniel Berkhart was taking up the fishbowl for him, but it turned out Beck had been alive all along. A crusade of Mysterio's was the attempt of the retrieval of a lost fortune located in Aunt May's house. Ironically the money had been eaten by silver fish by the time it was discovered leaving Mysterio defeated yet again.

    The End of Beck

    Dying Breath
    Dying Breath

    Eventually, Mysterio was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and critical lung cancer assumed to be a nasty side-effect of the chemical products he had used against Spider-Man for years. Because it had been predicted that Mysterio had at most a year to live, Ravencroft released him to carryout the rest of his life in freedom. Mysterio made one final attempt to exact his revenge against Spider-Man. However, it had come to Mysterio's attention that Spider-Man was in fact a clone, and no longer the enemy he knew. Because he had no need for revenge against this new Spider-Man he decided that he would get a superhero worthy of his respect to end his miserable life. He decided it was Daredevil who would have the pleasure of ending the reign of Mysterio. Mysterio devised a plot to make Daredevil kill him in a fit of insanity. He hired Bullseye to kill DD's love interest Karen Page, he destroyed Foggy Nelson's relationship with Liz Osborn and he almost made Daredevil kill a baby. But still Daredevil's resolve was too great for Mysterio's psychological torture. Beck ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. However, there was another Mysterio on the horizon, brewing like a storm in the mind of Daniel Berkhart, an old friend of Beck's.

    Return of Beck

    No Caption Provided

    A teleporting mutant named Francis Klum purchases the Mysterio costume, and turns the school Peter Parker teaches at into a "haunted house", filling it with death-traps. Klum's actions bring the attention of Daniel Berkhart, who arrives and prepares to team up with Spider-Man in order to defeat him. Quentin Beck, apparently alive, appears in the school auditorium in a dark red version of his costume and confronts Klum, before leaving him for Berkhart to deal with and Spider-Man captures Berkhart. Klum runs into Miss Arrow and tries to take her as a hostage, only to be stabbed by one of her stingers. He then teleported away, badly bleeding. Neither Berkhart nor Klum have been seen since. Beck also vanished, with Spider-Man wondering if the real Beck had really returned back from the dead.

    The Gauntlet

    No Caption Provided

    As part of the "Gauntlet" storyline, Mysterio reappears, working with the Maggia in their ongoing gang war with Mr. Negative. Carmine, the consigliere of the Karnelli (formerly Manfredi) family, hires Mysterio to fake the return of important Maggia leaders, including Silvermane. Carmine hoped to take control of the Maggia, through the robotic Silvermane duplicate controlled by Mysterio, from the bumbling Don Bruno Karnelli. Soon, however, Mysterio kills Carmine and sets up most remaining Maggia members to be killed by Mr. Negative's gang while he escapes with the Maggia's vast fortune. While Mysterio made his escape, blowing up the opera house that was the site of the gang war's most recent standoff in the process, Spider-Man was able to catch Mysterio's fleeing boat and destroy it, along with the stolen money. Beck is later seen being approached by Chameleon, who is apparently organising a revenge scheme against their longtime foe with other villains.

    Ends of the Earth

    Mysterio joins Dr. Octopus's latest Sinister Six in his plan to leave his legacy on the planet before he dies. Mysterio and the rest of the Sinister Six attack the Intelligencia where Mysterio tricks the Red Ghost using his various illusions. Later, when Spider-Man organizes the Avengers to stop Dr. Octopus's plans destroy the Earth using an advance Green House Effect. Mysterio and the Chameleon set up a fact attack on Silver Sable's home country. His illusion is discovered and he and the Chameleon are defeated. Mysterio leads Spider-Man and the Avengers to Doc Ock's real base in South America that is revealed to be another trick in order for Dr. Octopus to mind control the Avengers through his octobots and stolen technology that Peter Parker had created at Horizon Labs. However, the plan backfires when Silver Sable gains the upper hand and the Avengers are freed after Beck switches sides and disables the octobots. Mysterio slips out during the final battle with Dr. Octopus.

    Spider-Men

    A few weeks later the Ultimate Mysterio is later revealed to be nothing more than an avatar of the Earth-616 Mysterio. After Peter Parker's death, and knowledge of his identity is released, Mysterio knows who Spider-Man really is as a result. He does not get the chance to make use of this knowledge, though, as he is defeated after he tricks the 616-Peter Parker in going through a dimensional bridget to the Ultimate Universe where Peter meets Miles Morales. After trying to trap Peter in the other universe, Beck is defeated by Peter Parker and Miles Morales and imprisoned in the Ultimate Universe, where the knowledge is useless.

    Las Vegas

    Beck gets a brief magic upgrade
    Beck gets a brief magic upgrade

    After the events of Secret Wars (in which the Multiverse no longer existed) Beck was transported back to the Main Marvel Universe. He restarted his criminal career by robbing banks, but Beck was hit by a Spider-buggy driven by Spider-Man and Deadpool. It caused Mysterio to (comically) be defeated in one blow. He was later taken to the hospital but escaped after recovery.

    Demoralized by his defeat by Deadpool, Mysterio would give up his life of crime and settle in Las Vegas. Ben Reilly, who had been protecting Vegas at the time, would pay him a visit to intimidate him. Seeking his own redemption, Reilly understood what Beck was going through and implored he stay on the straight and narrow. It wasn’t long after that Beck was pulled into a scheme by his magic-using daughter, Mysteria.

    Unfortunately, it was a trap. His daughter needed to spill the blood of the person she loved the most to get ultimate power at a place of worship buried under a Vegas casino. When she attacked Beck, they were interrupted by Ben. She ended up getting stabbed in the struggle, allowing Beck to absorb the power she intended to take through a brand on his hand. He blamed Ben for her death and lashed out, forcing Ben to cut off his hand thus disconnecting him from the power.

    Kindred

    Mysterio directs his own biopic

    Mysterio would return to New York to fake an alien invasion that was quickly stopped by Spider-Man. On trial, he would be defended by Janice Lincoln (the new Beetle). She was hired by the demon Kindred, who had helped Mysterio escape Hell. Kindred was here to call in his favor to Mysterio for saving him. Kindred wanted to torture Peter Parker, and he needed Mysterio’s help to set the stage. He was successfully found not guilty by reason of insanity and forced to undergo court ordered therapy to earn his release.

    Mysterio tried to escape Kindred by posing as his own therapist and baiting Kindred with a body double, but that plan failed. Kindred wasn’t asking much of Mysterio though. He gave Mysterio the opportunity to turn the screenplay he had been working on into a legit movie, as long as it starred Mary Jane Watson. As he was directing under the alias, Cage McKnight, he had to reveal himself in order to get MJ to commit and convince her that he really was looking for redemption.

    This movie also puts him in the crosshairs of Vulture’s new Savage Six. They don’t appreciate how Mysterio is portraying them. Mysterio is able to get the best of them each time they attack, and ultimately, the supervillains he was giving a second chance to on his crew helped him run them off set for the last time.

    Sinister War

    During the premiere of his movie, Mysterio would be confronted by two different teams of Spider-Man rogues. Doc Ock’s new Sinister Six, working under orders from Kindred, would show up to recruit him, while The Savage Six would show up for a second attempt at ruining the film. He would teleport away under the disguise of keeping Mary Jane safe, but he ultimately betrays the trust he built with her when he offers her up to Kindred.

    When the Sinister Six catches up with Spider-Man and the other supervillain teams in the graveyard, Mysterio disguises them as select allies so they can get close to Spider-Man, but The Lizard jumps the gun and reveals them. His team is forced to fight off the rest of the villains for their chance at Spider-Man. Eventually, Doc Ock uses a piece of Black Ant's helmet to knock everyone, including Mac, out through the ear centipedes Kindred was using to control them.

    Sinister Adaptoid

    No Caption Provided

    After going their separate ways, The Living Brain kidnapped Mysterio and five other foes of Spider-Man's. He was using them to program a new Super Adaptoid to hunt down and defeat Spider-Man so that the Living Brain could fulfill its original purpose, answer the question "Who is Spider-Man?"

    In a fight with this Sinister Adaptoid in the Living Brain's lab, Spider-Man uncovered his villains in shackles. Against his better judgment, he decided to release them so that they would aid him in defeating both the Super Adaptoid and the Living Brain. When they found the Living Brain's control center, the Sinister Six wanted to kill it.

    Believing it to be alive, Spider-Man defended the Living Brain's life. Seeing Spider-Man put his life on the line for an enemy whose life Spider-Man considered equally valuable satisfied the "Who is Spider-Man?" question. Thus, the Living Brain trapped the Sinister Six and agreed to Spider-Man's demands that it be temporarily taken offline and given to proper authorities.

    Powers

    Mysterio has had no actual superpowers, though he is very accomplished illusionist, athlete, and hand-to-hand combatant. Their main threat came in the form of advanced technology mixed with great skill at illusion. Gadgets of his have included spring-heeled boots, hologram projectors, radar sensors, various hallucinogenic gases (including a gas that could nullify Spider-Man's spider-sense), among other things.

    Alternate Versions

    Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610)

    Ultimate Mysterio
    Ultimate Mysterio

    In this reality, Mysterio is a bank robber that Spider-Man was going to defeat along with the help of the police. They only succeeded in capturing his accomplice. He was also seen earlier in the "Hollywood" arc as a character in the Spider-man film. This was, in all likelihood, not the real Mysterio that was featured later on; it was only an actor named "Bruce" playing the character, presumably made for the film, in a costume practically identical to that of his 616 incarnation.

    In his second appearance, he used a bent cop to gain access to police info and to distract them from future crimes. Eventually, the cop was captured by Spider-Man and the N.Y.P.D., but Mysterio managed to escape while vowing revenge on Spider-man.

    At the start of the second volume of Ultimate Spider-Man, The Kingpin returns to New York City following the Ultimatum Wave and all of the evidence of his crimes gone. As soon as he gets a moment alone in his office, he's greeted by Mysterio who says he's a fan then tosses the crime lord out the office building window and into the street below. Mysterio then looks down and says that the act will look good on his resume.

    Mysterio appears shortly afterward, using an illegal gas to cause several blocks of civilians to hallucinate and see giant spiders. With everyone distracted, he then tries robbing a bank. Unfortunately, Spider-Man is in the vicinity, and guesses that the spiders were an illusion, and manages to fight Mysterio, stopping him from getting away with the gold he was trying to steal. In revenge for this, Mysterio creates an illusion of the Hulk rampaging, which Spider-Man goes to stop. Upon reaching the Hulk, he is knocked unconscious, and the only thing stopping Mysterio from killing him is the arrival of the Shroud, a mysterious new hero. Together, the Shroud and Spider-Man stop Mysterio, damaging the technology in Mysterio's costume. Mysterio manages to get away then. Spider-Man takes some of the damaged technology to the police, but unknown to him, Mysterio is at his hideout, and notices some blood which isn't his on his costume.

    Mysterio then sends a Spider-Slayer to get Spider-Man, which can track him using his DNA (from the blood). However, the Spider-Slayer is easily destroyed by the Shroud and the Human Torch. The police then arrive at Mysterio's hideout, having tracked him using the tech, and Mysterio is forced to blow up his hideout so that he doesn't get captured.

    Prelude to Death of Spider-Man

    Sometime after his Spider-Slayer attack, Mysterio catches Black Cat breaking into the Kingpin’s apartment. After a brief fight, Black Cat makes off with the safe. Mysterio catches up with her the moment she opens the safe, revealing the Zodiac Key. While holding it and talking to Mysterio, Cat accidentally teleports him away for a moment. He reappears and begs her to give up the key as she does not know of its power. She freaks out and wipes out a couple of city blocks. She finally gives up the key to Mysterio who is then attacked by Spider-Man and Iron Man a moment later. He blasts Iron Man away and strips him of his suit. Spider-Man quickly grabs the key and he too unintentionally creates a whirlwind of destruction before he is able to stop it. Stunned, Mysterio makes another grab for the Zodiac Key however Iron Man comes from behind him and rips out his power source. Stark discovers that it’s his own tech and that it’s being controlled remotely.

    The Ultimate Mysterio is later revealed to be nothing more than an avatar of the Earth-616 Mysterio. After Peter Parker's death, and knowledge of his identity is released, Mysterio knows who Spider-Man really is. He does not get the chance to make use of this knowledge, though, as he is defeated by 616-Peter Parker and Miles Morales and imprisoned in the Ultimate Universe, where the knowledge is useless.

    Old Man Logan

    All the most powerful villains gathered together to kill all of the superheroes. Wolverine and Jubilee are at the X-Mansion when an explosion goes off, killing Jubilee. This angers Wolverine and he kills all the super villains entering the mansion. After the villains are killed, Wolverine finally sees that it has been an illusion created by Mysterio. Wolverine had killed all of the other X-Men.

Beck claims that after Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of all life in the universe, the "Blip" accidentally brought the Elementals into the universe inhabitted by Spider-Man and Fury.

    However, it is later revealed that this is all a lie. Mysterio is actually a former employee of Stark Industries who became embittered after Tony Stark disrespected his holographic invention and took credit for it.

When Spider-Man discovers the truth behind Mysterio's plan, he sets out to stop him before the villain destroys London as part of his scheme, but is defeated and left for dead after being ambushed by Beck's stealth drones.
