[[Jake Gyllenhaal]] portrayed [[Quentin Beck (Marvel Cinematic Universe)\|Mysterio]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] film ''[[Spider-Man: Far From Home]]'' (2019~~), reappearing through [[Stock footage\|archive footage]] in ''[[The Daily Bugle (web series)\|The Daily Bugle]]'' (2019–2021) and ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' (2021~~).<ref name="WGTC" /> ==Publication history== Line 32 ⟶ 30: Quentin Beck is a [[special effect]]s master and stunt man working for a major Hollywood studio with dreams of making a name for himself in the film industry. However, he came to see his career in special effects as a dead-end job. His attempts to become an actor were poorly received, but he realized that his expertise in illusions could make him an effective criminal. In his first battle with Spider-Man, after he frames Spider-Man for robbing the Midtown Museum, Mysterio obstructs the hero's spider-sense with gas and dissolves Spider-Man's webbing with a chemical abrasive. However Spider-Man tricks Mysterio into revealing he robbed the museum, then Spider-Man revealed he had captured it on tape. Mysterio was then jailed, blaming Spider-Man for his ruined career.<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #13">''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #13. Marvel Comics.</ref> Mysterio later joins the [[Sinister Six]] in an attempt at revenge on Spider-Man.<ref>{{cite book \|last =Rovin \|first =Jeff \|authorlink=Jeff Rovin \|title =[[The Encyclopedia of ~~Supervillains~~Super-Villains]] \|publisher =Facts on File \|date =1987 \|location =New York \|isbn = 0-8160-1356-X \|page=241}}[https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofsu0000rovi_h5r9/page/240/mode/2up]</ref> In an elaborate scheme, [[Doctor Octopus]] gives each member of the Sinister Six a card with the location of the next battle written on it. Each location was carefully selected to best suit that member's particular talents and Spider-Man will have to fight them one after the other. Only once Spider-Man has defeated each opponent, will he be able to obtain the card that will identify the next location. Doctor Octopus believed that with this plan, each of the Sinister Six would weaken Spider-Man a little bit more so that his chances would grow slimmer after each battle. When Spider-Man reaches Mysterio, his third opponent, he is immediately attacked by a group of highly developed robot replicas of the [[X-Men]] controlled by Mysterio. After successfully defeating the robots and Mysterio, Spider-Man gets the next card that enables him to go on to battle the [[Sandman (Marvel Comics)\|Sandman]].<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man Annual'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> ===Further appearances and decline=== Line 51 ⟶ 49: Sometime later, Quentin Beck suddenly appears in the Midtown High School auditorium in a dark red version of his costume during the three-way battle between Spider-Man and the two successor Mysterios. He confronts Francis Klum before leaving him for Berkhart to deal with. Quentin Beck then confronts [[Miss Arrow]], revealing that half his head is missing from the gunshot wound and explains that, having gone to Hell for suicide, his "superiors" in the afterlife sent him back to Earth to maintain a cosmic balance. His superiors want Spider-Man to continue working at the school and Beck knows Miss Arrow has a similar role for the "other side". Berkhart and Klum briefly battle one another before Spider-Man captures Berkhart. While trying to escape, Klum runs into Arrow and tries to take her as a hostage, only to be stabbed by one of her stingers. He then teleports away, badly bleeding.<ref name="FNS-M11"/><ref name="FNS-M12"/><ref name="FNS-M13"/> Neither Berkhart nor Klum have been seen since. Though Berkhart was incarcerated, Klum's status is uncertain. In ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #581, a flashback shows that, prior to his suicide, Beck had been hired by Norman Osborn to fake his son Harry's death. ~~<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Spider-Man Enter-the-Gauntlet Mysterio.jpg\|145px\|Mysterio returns in ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', art by [[Marcos Martín]]\|right\|thumb]] -->~~ Mysterio reappears during ''[[The Gauntlet and Grim Hunt\|The Gauntlet]]'' story line, which re-introduces several past Spider-Man villains with new twists. This Mysterio claims to be a returned Quentin Beck who had faked his death, though it's unclear how this fits in with his aforementioned appearance. He is under the employ of Maggia crime member Carmine, creating androids of various deceased Maggia (including their dead leader [[Silvermane]]) to give them a credibility boost in their gang war with [[Mister Negative]]. Beck controls the Silvermane robot himself and plants seeds of rebellion in [[Hammerhead (comics)\|Hammerhead]], who had left the Maggia under the belief that Silvermane was deceased. He also tries to drive Spider-Man mad by making him think he's accidentally killed several gang members, while trying to convince him that a returned [[George Stacy\|Captain George Stacy]], who claims to have always been the gangster known as the [[Big Man (Marvel Comics characters)\|Big Man]], also faked his death years earlier. This turn makes Spider-Man realize that Mysterio must be behind the recent mysterious return of so many deceased individuals, and he vows to have Mysterio pay for making it personal. Shortly after, Mysterio uses the Silvermane robot to murder Carmine in an attempt to secretly seize control of the Maggia and its fortune. Spider-Man eventually exposes and confronts Mysterio, who flees. He later runs into the [[Chameleon (character)\|Chameleon]], who tells him that he has some friends who are "dying" to meet him.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #618–620. Marvel Comics.</ref> The "friends" the Chameleon was talking about happens to be the Kravinoffs. He was present at the ritual where Spider-Man is seemingly sacrificed to revive [[Kraven the Hunter]].<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #635. Marvel Comics.</ref> Line 81 ⟶ 78: Mary Jane is transported to Mysterio's old studios where Beck reveals what happened to him after his suicide, transported to hell, and tortured there until Harry Osborn made him a deal. Taking it, Beck was revived around the time [[Civil War (comics)\|Peter's identity was public knowledge]], his adventures in the Spider-Men crossover are referenced, and over time Harry stopped communicating with him until recently. Mysterio also reveals to Mary Jane that he was the therapist who helped her come to terms with Harry's death, but Mary Jane barely remembers this. Mary Jane pleas with Beck, reminding him he has changed, but Mysterio remains loyal to the deal he struck and tells Mary Jane that he knows what fate awaits him. Mysterio rejoins the teams of villains while leaving Mary Jane to the mercy of Kindred.<ref>''Amazing Spider-Man'' (vol. 5) #71. Marvel Comics.</ref> It is later revealed that Mysterio used his time as Mary Jane's therapist to implant false memories of Gwen Stacy confessing to a brief affair with Norman Osborn, thus justifying the existence of Gwen's adult children, Gabriel and Sarah (actually clones created by Harry).<ref>''Amazing Spider-Man'' (vol. 5) #74. Marvel Comics.</ref> Mysterio was among the villains captured by [[Ultra Living Brain]]. When Spider-Man defeated the Sinister Six-type Super-Adaptoid, Ultra Living Brain teleported the villains away.<ref>''Amazing Spider-Man'' (vol. 6) #6. Marvel Comics.</ref> ==Powers and abilities== Line 88 ⟶ 87: Mysterio's suit includes many devices to aid him. His helmet is made of one-way [[Poly(methyl methacrylate)\|plexiglass]], meaning he can see out but no one can see in.<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #13"/> The helmet also includes an air supply to protect him from his own gases, sonar to navigate within his mist cloak and a [[holographic]] projector to create 3D illusions. His boots contain magnetic coil springs which allow him impressive leaps as well as the ability to cling to surfaces.<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #13"/> Mysterio's costume contains nozzles in the boots and wrists that can release a constant stream of smoke that shields his movements.<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #13"/> He can mix other chemicals into this smokescreen for various effects, including a gas that dulls and inhibits Spider-Man's spider-sense, a gas that causes paralysis for 30 minutes, an abrasive that eats away Spider-Man's webbing, hypnogens that make those around him more susceptible to his will and hallucinogens to cause vivid hallucinations.<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #13"/> A combination of the hypnogens and hallucinogens, along with his holographic projectors, are how Mysterio achieves most of his illusions. The costume sometimes also includes offensive weaponry, such as lasers or knockout gas nozzles in the eye emblems on his shoulders, or electric coils within his cape to electrocute those who touch it.{{citation needed\|date=December 2021}} == Reception == === Accolades ===▼ ▲=== Accolades === In 2009, ''[[IGN]]'' ranked Mysterio 85th in their "Top 100 Comic Book Villains.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Top 100 Comic Book Villains \|url=https://www.ign.com/lists/top-100-comic-book-villains/85 \|website=[[IGN]]}}</ref> * In 2014, ''[[IGN]]'' ranked Mysterio 13th in their "Top 25 Spider-Man Villains" list.<ref>{{Cite web \|~~last~~last1=Schedeen \|~~first~~first1=Jesse \|last2=Yehl \|first2=Joshua \|date=2014-04-16 \|title=Top 25 Spider-Man Villains \|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/16/top-25-spider-man-villains \|access-date=2023-01-03 \|website=IGN \|language=en}}</ref> * In 2019, ''[[CBR.com]]'' ranked Mysterio 16th in their "25 Deadliest Spider-Man Villains" list.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Wyse \|first=Alex \|date=2019-01-16 \|title=Spider-Slayers: The 25 Deadliest Spider-Man Villains, Officially Ranked \|url=https://www.cbr.com/spider-man-villains-ranked/ \|access-date=2023-01-03 \|website=CBR \|language=en}}</ref> * In 2021, ''[[Screen Rant]]'' included Mysterio in their "10 Best Spider-Man Comic Villains" list.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Beaty \|first=Drew \|date=2021-07-20 \|title=10 Best Spider-Man Comic Villains, Ranked \|url=https://screenrant.com/best-spider-man-comic-villains-ranked/ \|access-date=2023-01-03 \|website=Screen Rant \|language=en}}</ref> Line 225 ⟶ 222: * Quentin Beck / Mysterio appears in ''[[Spider-Man (1967 TV series)\|Spider-Man]]'' (1967), voiced by [[Chris Wiggins]].<ref name="TVoM">{{cite web\|title=The Voices of Mysterio\|url=http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Spider-Man/Mysterio/\|publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}}</ref> * Quentin Beck / Mysterio appears in ''[[Spider-Man (1981 TV series)\|Spider-Man]]'' (1981) episode "The Pied Piper of New York Town", voiced by [[Michael Rye]].<ref name="TVoM"/> * Quentin Beck / Mysterio appears in the ''[[~~Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1981 TV series)\|~~Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]'' episode "Spidey Goes Hollywood", voiced by [[Peter Cullen]].<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=1268 \|title=Peter Cullen – Voice Actor Profile at Voice Chasers \|publisher=Voicechasers.com \|date=July 28, 1941 \|access-date=February 7, 2011 \|archive-date=October 5, 2013 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005232202/http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=1268 \|url-status=dead }}</ref> * Quentin Beck / Mysterio appears in ''[[Spider-Man (1994 TV series)\|Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'', voiced by [[Gregg Berger]].<ref name="TVoM"/> This version was a former stuntman and special effects artist who blames Spider-Man for ruining his reputation. In his introductory episode, "The Menace of Mysterio", Mysterio frames Spider-Man for various crimes, though he is foiled and sent to jail. The former later becomes a member of the [[Kingpin (character)\|Kingpin]]'s [[Sinister Six\|Insidious Six]] in the episodes "The Insidious Six" and "Battle of the Insidious Six". In his final appearance, "The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson", Mysterio breaks out of prison to aid Spider-Man in his search for [[Mary Jane Watson]] inside a studio Mysterio built to kill the web-slinger sometime ago. Along the way, they encounter Mysterio's lover Miranda Wilson, an actress who had been mortally wounded during Mysterio's first fight with Spider-Man and saved by the former's technology. She had kidnapped Watson to switch bodies with her, but Mysterio reveals his machinery is incapable of doing so. Devastated, Wilson sets the studio to self-destruct. Though Spider-Man and Watson escape, Mysterio stays behind to be with Wilson, and they are both killed in the explosion. * Quentin Beck / Mysterio appears in ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man (TV series)\|The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'', voiced by [[Xander Berkeley]].<ref name="TVoM"/> Introduced in the episode "Persona", this version was a film special effects expert and stuntman who became one of the [[Chameleon (Marvel Comics)\|Chameleon]]'s henchmen alongside [[Tinkerer (Marvel Comics)\|Phineas Mason]]. The Chameleon uses Beck's special effects and Mason's technology to impersonate Spider-Man in a series of crimes, but Beck and Mason are caught by the real Spider-Man and [[Black Cat (Marvel Comics)\|Black Cat]]. In "Blueprints", Beck becomes Mysterio and passes himself off as a sorcerer who intends to save mankind from technology. Though Spider-Man defeats him after discovering his lair and technology, Beck creates a robot in his likeness to take his place in jail so he can continue serving the enigmatic crime boss, the [[Master Planner]]. Beck returns in the episode "Reinforcements" as a member of the Master Planner's Sinister Six. Despite using more robotic duplicates, Spider-Man captures Beck and ensures he is properly sent to jail. In "Opening Night", another robotic duplicate of Beck was remanded to the [[Vault (Marvel Comics)\|Vault]] and aided the other imprisoned villains in an attempt to kill Spider-Man while he was there to test the prison's security system, only for the [[Molten Man]] to accidentally destroy him.

(Binary Augmented Retro-Framing). Angered at Stark for "stealing" his invention, ~~the scientist~~Beck was fired for his unstable nature. As a result, he swore revenge and joined forces with other like-minded ex-Stark Industries employees to take advantage of the power vacuum left in the wake of Stark's death in the film ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019). To this end, ~~they~~Beck and his team manufactured the [[Elementals (Marvel Comics)\|Elementals]] using drones equipped with ~~holographic~~his technology~~, gave the scientist the alias of "Quentin Beck"~~, and fabricated a backstory for the illusions by claiming the entities and Beck himself were from [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)\|another universe]]. To build up his reputation and legitimize himself as an "[[Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)\|Avengers]]-level" hero, Beck joins forces with an unknowing [[Talos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)\|Talos]] (disguised as [[Nick Fury (Marvel Cinematic Universe)\|Nick Fury]]) and [[Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe)\|Spider-Man]]—whose classmates gave Beck the "Mysterio" moniker—to "defeat" the Elementals around the world while bonding with the latter to gain his trust and acquire a device Talos gave him on Stark's behalf. Once Spider-Man hands said device, [[Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe#E.D.I.T.H.\|E.D.I.T.H.]], over to him, Beck sets about fulfilling his master plan. However, when he learns Spider-Man broke off a holographic projector from one of the drones, he reluctantly decides to kill him along with anyone who could potentially reveal his secret. Using a fight in London between his holographic persona and an Elemental Fusion monster as a distraction, Beck attempts to act on this plan, but is foiled when Spider-Man destroys his drones and retrieves E.D.I.T.H. from him. During the fight, Beck is accidentally shot and killed by one of the drones. Unbeknownst to Spider-Man however, one of his associates downloaded the drones' data and doctored the footage to demonize Spider-Man, reveal his identity, and posthumously make Beck look like a hero before sending said footage to [[J.

Humiliated and in trouble with the police because his games allowed several criminals to escape, Beck assumes the identity of Mysterio, an alien who has come to conquer New York City with his army of robots. However, Spider-Man foils his schemes and reveals his charade. Later, while trying to rob a convenience store, Mysterio is easily defeated by Spider-Man and unmasked, leading to his arrest. In the [[personal computer\|PC]] version, Mysterio is hired by Doctor Octopus to distract Spider-Man by creating a massive illusion of a floating New York.
