Quentin Beck/Mysterio (1994-1998)

History
Quentin Beck was once part of the special effects team for Wonder Studios. Whilst trying to film a car chase scene for a movie, Quentin managed to sabotage the set by making the filming helicopter crash and blowing up a mortar on the Brooklyn Bridge, where they were filming. However, Spider-Man arrived and managed to web up Quentin, who was arrested and sentenced to a year in jail.

After serving his sentence, Beck started to enact his revenge on Spider-Man by framing him for committing several robberies and then assuming the identity of 'Mysterio' and threatening to capture Spider-Man. However, Spider-Man's innocence was proved by the hero and Detective Terri Lee and Beck was put back in jail, with his identity as Mysterio revealed.

Beck was later broke out of jail by the Kingpin and joined the Insidious Six, a group of super villains dedicated to eliminating Spider-Man. Even after capturing Spider-Man, the group failed in their objective and disbanded.

Beck later built a studio and tended to Miranda Wilson, an actress who was burned and disfigured by the explosions Beck caused on the Brooklyn Bridge and whom Beck was in love with. Mysterio kidnapped Mary Jane Watson in the hopes of transferring Miranda's mind into Mary Jane's body. In the end, Mysterio teamed up with Spider-Man against Miranda and the Beck's studio exploded and while Spider-Man and Mary Jane escaped, Beck and Miranda perished in the explosion.
