Character Name: Quentin Beck
Codename: Mysterio
Alignment: Evil
Powers: Beck was a master of make-up, physical stunt work, mechanical and visual special effects. He knew basic psychiatry and could employ hypnotism successfully. He also learned a great deal of applied chemistry, especially the use of hallucinogens, and electronics. Beck was a meticulous planner and organizer, and a skilled actor who kept himself in top physical form.
Bio: Quentin Beck found his calling when his uncle gave him an old movie camera. Despite his widowed father making fun of him, he grew up to become a successful stunt man and special effects designer in Hollywood. That changed when he became frustrated and felt he wasn't getting the recognition he deserved. First he teamed up with the Tinkerer to steal industrial and military plans, with Beck donning an alien costume to throw potential snoopers off the track and leading a group of supposed extraterrestrials. Later, an article in the Daily Bugle gave Beck the idea of pretending to be Spider-Man and framing him for crimes, then becoming a hero and bringing Spider-Man to justice. Beck studied Spider-Man for weeks and was able to duplicate his powers, apart from spider-sense, mechanically. After a few robberies posing as the web-slinger, which added more grist to the mill for J. Jonah Jameson's vendetta, Beck, as Mysterio, trounced an unsuspecting Spider-Man. When they next met, Beck fought and apparently beat Spider-Man, then boasted how he had achieved it all. Spider-Man taped the confession and cleared his name. Despite the clever gadgetry Beck built in to the Mysterio costume, Spider-Man managed to defeat him.
Extra: Beck's original Mysterio costume contained boots with chemical smoke ejectors to produce a concealing mist, magnetic plate springs allowing him to leap heights, an acid spray in his gloves, enabling him to dissolve Spider-Man's webbing, and a one-way helmet with a built-in sonar device that jammed Spider-Man's spider-sense and allowed Mysterio to see through his mist. In subsequent encounters, he improved on his costume, adding a 'psychedelic power' to his helmet, knock-out gas, an electrically-charged cloak, hypnogens in his cloaking mist, and electric bolts from his gloves. Beck used a tranquilizer dart gun, an electro-magnetic disrupter beam, automatons, holographic projectors, and a stolen Digital Imagery Transmission chip. Beck was not above using out-of-work actors with criminal tendencies as part of his plans.
