Mysterio

"It’s a hard path, the life of a hero. People depend on you, even if you want a battle. Sometimes they die."

- Mysterio to Spider-Man

Quentin Beck is a disgraced employee of Stark Industries, who attempts to become the world's next biggest superhero in lieu of the late Tony Stark. He is a master of trickery and illusion known as Mysterio, who claims to be from another Earth, wearing an highly advanced special suit of armor and mask helmet which enables him flight and the power to control his illusion abilities.

The embittered Beck, seeking to solidify a reputation for himself, feigned several Elemental attacks across the world with the use of his drones. The callous Beck exploited traits of charisma to gain the trust of Nick Fury and Peter Parker/Spider-Man, even filling the void of a mentor figure for him in Stark's absence. After his plan to continue his destructive rampage across the continent of Europe was revealed, Beck had proven himself to be a worthy adversary to Spider-Man, although his arrogance also proved to be his downfall.

Nevertheless, Beck was instrumental in exposing Spider-Man's identity to the world, sending modified footage of the Battle of London to several news outlets and framing Spider-Man for the attacks.

Fired From Stark Industries
Quentin Beck once worked for Stark Industries as an illusions specialist, inventing the Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing prototype during his employment. However, he felt unrecognized as an inventor, and the callousness he developed out of his need for attention prompted Tony Stark to fire him.

In 2023, after Stark's death in the Battle of Earth, the embittered Beck took it upon himself to seize the opportunity to become the world's next renowned superhero in Iron Man's absence. Using his uncanny skills in trickery and illusion, he developed an advanced suit of armor which enabled him to control his abilities and created himself the identity of Mysterio.

Elemental Attacks
Following his transformation into Mysterio, Beck used his skills to develop multiple advanced drones which would create illusion forms of four powerful large creatures which control the forces of nature, naming them as the Elementals and Beck did so in order to allow them to go on a destructive rampage across the continent of Europe, but Beck uses his Mysterio persona and his abilities to defeat the Elementals, causing his plan to become a hero for the public to experience success.

Personality
"You guys do have sarcasm on this Earth, right?. I like you Peter, you're a good kid. There's a part of me that wants me to tell you to just turn around and run away from all of this and then there's another part of me which knows what we're about to fight and what's in stake. Saving the world requires sacrifice."

- Mysterio to Spider-Man

During his days as an employee at Stark Industries, Quentin Beck had always shown a glorious desire and hunger for using his uncanny skills of technology in order to work with Tony Stark. Beck designed and invented the B.A.R.F. prototype, with Stark seeing Beck's callous and unstable nature, resulting Beck being fired from his work at Stark Industries, leaving Beck extremely furious, with his nature increasingly unstable than usual. Following this, Beck later witnessed how his former employer passed away due to the Battle of Earth, and Beck took the advantage in order to use his skills to create both advanced drones which project forms of elemental creatures controlling the forces of nature such as water, earth and fire, and an advanced suit of armor as well as mask helmet which would hide his identity. He decided to use the Elementals to cause massive destruction across the continent of Europe, but he would be in the moment of attack, in which he ulitizes his suit of armor to defeat them, allowing himself to be seen as a great hero in the eyes of the wide public despite his destructive methods.

The thing indeed caused Beck being hailed as a hero, with even people such as Flash Thompson stating he is similar to Thor and Iron Man together, implying how powerful he truly is, unknowing it would take the attention of Spider-Man, Nick Fury and Maria Hill. However, wise and intelligent enough to deal with kind of situations as these, Beck manipulated the three by stating he is from another Earth, as well as the Elementals, presenting himself as an expert of the Elementals with stating they are entities from his dimension, all a move to advance his plan.

With seeing Spider-Man feeling unworthy to carry on Tony Stark's faith in him, Beck encouraged Peter Parker with showing his caring nature. During the Battle of London, Beck has released the Elementals to attack the capital city, with helping Spider-Man against them. Despite this, he had felt disgrace when Spider-Man took all of his attention, resulting Beck to reveal his true nature to Parker; that of an extremely vengeful, furious, cruel, destructive and above all manipulative, cold and dark individual with manipulating Parker into believing he would publish the footage he filmed from the battle, which will later reveal Parker's true identity to the world, driving Parker enraged and later tricked the Elementals into attacking their own creator, showing his arrogance was his downfall as he was refusing to accept his fate. Despite his truly dark and cruel nature, Beck's direct motive for this was all because of failing to achieve attention from people around him.
