Since 1939, the American comic book company has been creating stories in drawings. Many superheroes who settled on Earth-616 came out of their assembly line. In addition to popular heroes with incredible strength and a desire to save the world, Marvel also created those who can resist the keepers of peace. One of them is Misterio, occupying only the 85th line among the villains of the Marvel Universe.
Who is it?
Misterio (Marvel comics) - an image that throughout its existence has had three carriers. 3 powerful supervillains tried on this look to fight again and again with their main enemy - Spider-Man. The first and, perhaps, the main medium of Mysterio is Quentin Beck, which was created by the authors of Marvel and debuted in one of the comic book numbers back in 1964.
Founder Quentin Beck
The first to try on the image of Mysterio was Quentin Beck. Initially, he worked on creating special effects and performing tricks. Despite the fact that he liked his work, he still dreamed of world recognition. But suddenly he realized that everything he does would not glorify his name.
Despite the fact that Beck had tremendous opportunities to create a hero who would save the world, he was led by a joke of his colleagues and decided to eliminate Spider-Man, and then take his place. To translate everything into reality, Quentin had to monitor the Spider for more than a month to understand all his abilities and weaknesses. In addition to filming all the actions of a superhero, Mysterio decided to collect a web to determine its composition.
With the equipment, Tinkerer began to help him, but after the defeat of the criminal, Beck escaped from the criminal gang. To himself, he created the full image of the Spider, with all his abilities, but also completed the face of Misterio himself (Marvel comics). Quentin's main goal was to substitute the rescuer, committing crimes on his behalf.
But for the first time, Spiderman won and handed Quentin to the police. But imprisonment did not correct Beck's desire to harm the superhero. After his early release, Misterio began to re-develop a plan to kill Spider. To do this, he needed the help of the Sinister Six. Many of Marvel’s worst villains have joined Beck’s minions.
The plan failed again, and Beck ended up behind bars. In prison, Quentin learned to hypnotize. After the release, he tried with the help of a new image - Reinhart - to drive Spiderman crazy. But these attempts were unsuccessful. Then Beck decided to falsely die. Meanwhile, he escaped from prison and found out that there was a treasure under Spiderman's house. It belonged to Uncle Ben, whom the robber killed. But in this case, Quentin was again detained.
Mysterio, for whom the superheroes were like a splinter, did not calm down and sought retribution. But after a while I found out that he had a brain tumor and lung cancer. These diseases were caused by his work with chemical elements, and perhaps it was a punishment from above. Beck had a year to live. Nevertheless, during this time, Quentin managed to get confused with Daredevil and chose him as his victim. But here he was defeated. Unable to withstand this, Quentin committed suicide.
Follower Daniel Burhart
Daniel became a follower of Beck. After some time, information appeared that Misterio (Marvel comics) again appeared on the side of the Sinister Six. In addition, his new connection with Daredevil was proved.
In one of the editions of the Marvel comic strip about Spiderman, they said that after Quentin's suicide, Burhart took his place. He was an old friend of Beck and took his robes for retribution. But then he did not know yet that he would take the side of Spiderman.
Final Francis Klam
Klam was a mutant. He wanted to avenge his brother - Harrison Klama, and therefore was going to expose Spider-Man. At that time, Parker taught at the school, and therefore it was she who became the object of the traps built by Francis. But his villainous intentions were noticed by none other than Daniel Burhart, who decided to defeat Klam and teamed up with Spiderman.
The fun begins when Quentin Beck appears at school. His Mysterio has a slightly different look than the original version, however, he returned from hell. Beck has an awesome look, because he is deprived of half his head. This is his punishment for suicide. Now he has come in order to restore cosmic balance and defeat Klam. So the first two Mysterio destroy the third.
Capabilities
Misterio (Marvel comics) got his abilities due to the fact that he was engaged in special effects and tricks. In one of the conclusions, he learned hypnosis, and this became another of his weapons. To harm Spiderman, he also created various chemical elements that would prevent the creation of a web.
His real weapon was the devices that had previously served him for creating special effects. He improved them, and they began to serve him fully. His headpiece was equipped with holographic projectors, which made it possible to hide Beck's face. And in the suit were built-in pipes that release gas, which lowered visibility. Therefore, Misterio often appeared unexpectedly, and also disappeared.
