John Smith

## Summary

Formerly a special effects wizard and stuntman working for a big-name Hollywood studio, **Quentin Beck** had dreamed of making himself known in the film industry. When his acting received poor reception and his dreams seemed to lead to a dead-end job until a colleague joked about how taking a superhero down was the best way to become famous. This made Beck realise his skill with illusions would make him an effective supervillain. From that moment onward, Beck would be known as the supervillain, **Mysterio**. He would then be a persistent threat towards heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil.
