Who is mysterio

In Spider-Man: Far From Home, we'll finally get the MCU's version of Quentin Beck, a.k.a. Mysterio, the long-time Spidey villain. And, yes, Jake Gyllenhaal is playing him. At long last, the master of illusion will get his due on the big screen... though is he friend or foe in Far From Home? Hmmm... (As for the other new MCU characters in Far From Home, check out our explanation on who the Elementals and Hydro-Man are!)Here's everything you need to know about the villain(s) who call themselves Mysterio and why this character has remained such a constant presence in Marvel's comics over the years. But first, watch Mysterio in action at the end of the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer below!Mysterio Explained: The BasicsHe may look funny, what with the purple cape and giant fishbowl helmet, but Mysterio is one of Spider-Man's most dangerous foes. This gifted but under-appreciated special effects artist has chosen to focus his skills on becoming a supervillain. With his talent for creating convincing illusions and gadgets that specifically counter Spider-Man's abilities, Mysterio has been a constant thorn in the hero's side since the early days of his superhero career.While several successors have briefly taken up the mantle of Mysterio, Quentin Beck will always hold the strongest claim to that title. Even death seems incapable of stopping him for long.Mysterio's Powers and AbilitiesAs a former special effects artist, Beck has a knack for designing illusions so convincing that even heroes like Spider-Man are utterly fooled. Coupled with his talent for chemistry, robotics, and hypnotism, Mysterio's illusions often blur the line between reality and fantasy, to the point where his work seems almost supernatural in nature.Mysterio has also augmented his costume with various gadgets and pieces of weaponry. For example, his domed helmet contains a portable air supply and a sonar system that allow Beck to safely navigate his debilitating gases (one of which cancels out Spider-Man's Spider-Sense). The suit also contains an acid that can dissolve Spidey's webbing, and offensive weapons like lasers.The third Mysterio, Francis Klum, is a mutant with the power to teleport and to

Now that we've had a chance to take a look at the new trailer of Spider-Man: Far From Home, it's time to answer some fundamental questions about the film. Chief among those questions is who Mysterio is. The Spider-Man villain played by Jake Gyllenhaal may be old hat to longtime fans of Marvel's web-slinging superhero. But his unique costume, complex power set, and lack of cinematic presence in the past may leave non-book-readers positively puzzled. Fortunately, we're here to help. As is the case with many comic characters, Mysterio is a name shared by a handful of individuals in the Marvel comics universe. By far the most common one, however, is the original Mysterio: Quentin Beck. Beck's Mysterio first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #13 as a special effects artist and stuntman in Hollywood. Beck regretted his behind the scenes career and longed for the fame and recognition that comes with being on-screen talent. Unfortunately, he lacked the proper skills and training to be an actor.When a friend pointed jokingly pointed out that the quickest way to become famous would be to defeat a masked hero, Beck made a perfectly rational and not at all crazy decision: He would become a supervillain. Leaning into his strengths in special effects work, he became Mysterio. Mysterio has one of the most exciting power sets in comics for one very particular reason: When it comes right down to it, he can't do anything. Quinten Beck is a master of special effects, illusion, hypnotism, and magic. He's a bit like a zanier version of Batman's Scarecrow.Using his powers over the mind, Mysterio can cause his targets, including Spider-Man, to believe anything he wants. He often uses his powers to warp reality, causing walls, floors, and even entire buildings to look like they're shifting. He's also used his powers to make himself seem more imposing. At times this has meant making himself seem gigantic or appearing to duplicate himself into an entire army of Mysterios. Most distressingly, his powers can even cause Spider-Man famed Spidey Sense to betray him: warning of dangers that don't exist. Quinten Beck has been a part of some famous moments in Marvel history. He's the main villain in one, especially dark, Daredevil story. He came back from hell and defeated the new Mysterio to retake his place as Spider-Man's nemesis. But his most noteworthy achievement is as a founding member of The Sinister Six.The Sinister Six is a group of supervillains who teamed up after realizing they could not defeat Spider-Man alone. Their membership has changed over the years, but it has always been made up of Spider-Man's most notorious members. It's founding roster was Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Sandman, and Vulture. Mysterio was the one who named the team The Sinister Six. He's now also the second member of the team we've seen on screen in the MCU. If we assume Scorpian might substitute in for another member; we could be halfway to a cinematic Sinister

Osborn, and join Doctor Octopus' revamped Sinister Six. Marvel has also introduced two new temporary heirs to the Mysterio mantle - mutant teleporter Francis Klum and Mysterion, a, um, mysterious criminal who purchased an old Mysterio suit on the black market. Ultimate MysterioOne particularly interesting reveal came in the 2012 miniseries Spider-Men, which featured the first team-up between Peter Parker and his alternate universe counterpart, Miles Morales. The two discovered that the Mysterio of the regular Marvel Universe and that of the Ultimate Universe are the same person. Using his advanced technology, Beck has been breaching the barrier between worlds and controlling a robotic avatar in the Ultimate Universe.Explained!Mysterio: Beyond the ComicsGiven his status as one of the earliest major Spider-Man villains, it should come as no surprise that Mysterio has appeared in numerous multimedia spinoffs over the years. Mysterio has shown up as a villain in the majority of Marvel's Spider-Man animated series, including the 1967 and 1981 Spider-Man cartoons, 1994's Spider-Man: The Animated Series, 2008's The Spectacular Spider-Man, and 2012's Ultimate Spider-Man. The latter series is notable for focusing on a new character, Frances Beck, who blames Spider-Man for the death of her father. Mysterio in Spider-Man: The Animated SeriesMysterio has also appeared in numerous Spider-Man video games, beginning with the Marvel-themed Questprobe adventure games and continuing in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and the Disney Infinity series.Mysterio has yet to appear in live-action form, though he did pop up as a boss character in the video game tie-in to 2004's Spider-Man 2 movie. Reportedly, director Sam Raimi intended for Bruce Campbell to play Mysterio in the unproduced Spider-Man 4. That sequel would have revealed that Campbell's various cameo roles in past movies were all actually Beck in disguise.Ranking the Spider-Man MoviesWhile that never happened, Mysterio finally gets his chance on the big screen in Spider-Man: Far From Home. And having Jake Gyllenhaal play the villain is a funny post-script to Spider-Man 2, actually, because back when that film was in pre-production, Gyllenhaal almost replaced Tobey Maguire as the title character
