Spider-Man: Far from Home
- MAJOR despoiler FOR SPIDER - MAN : FAR FROM HOME * *
Mysterio aka Quentin Beck ( Jake Gyllenhaal ) finally piddle his cinematic debut and entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) inSpider - Man : Far From Home – Spider - Man ’s ( Tom Holland ) second expedition in the growing cinematic universe and the official epilogue to Phase 3 . In the sequel , Mysterio ’s unequaled powers are brought to bear and break a much - necessitate updated blood line . This time around , the Master of Illusions uses modern - day applied science to cast his signature semblance and mind games .
However , in the comic strip , the specifics of Mysterio ’s abilities and even his weakness are dissimilar . The film change a few details , but the character remain relatively intact . Here are 5 superpowers that Mysterio continue obscure and 5 of his strangest weaknesses .
Hidden Power: Master of Disguise
Before acquiring digital illusions in his first cinematic appearance , Mysterio used virtual issue to fool his victim and opponents . One such method acting was the purpose of his illusion - creating accelerator , which alongside Beck ’s playing experience allowed the failed histrion to gain the trust of many unsuspicious people .
He even portray Spider - Man in the villain’sdebutcomic , using an hokey diversion of Spider - Man ’s web to make himself more convincing . Mysterio keep on this tradition inFar From Homewhen he pretends to be different people – including Nick Fury – with the use of the BARF applied science that Beck manufacture .
Hidden Weakness: He Was An Android
One of Mysterio ’s biggest illusions to date was fooling the heroes of the Ultimate Marvel Universe into thinking that he was real . In world , the Mysterio that the Spider - Man and Avengers of that timeline fought was an mechanical man masquerading as Beck .
While the android itself was convincing and threatening , it was still a robot that was only simulate its creator . Because of this , the android was n’t capable to keep up the artifice for too long before ultimately losing in conflict . Still , it held its own and grant the grinder a hard time .
Hidden Power: Pharmacology
If Mysterio apply Augmented Reality ( AR ) applied science to shed his semblance inFar From Home , he frequently used gaseous state and chemistry to confuse his opponents in the comics .
Not only is Beck a particular effects wizard but he ’s also an expert pharmaceutical chemist who concocts accelerator for a variety of applications . In the past , he ’s made hallucinogens to drive his foe insane , a substance that could break up Spider - Man ’s webs before they even reached him , and a particular airborne agent that inhibited the World Wide Web - slinger ’s crucial Spider Senses for more than 30 bit .
Hidden Weakness: The Famous Dome
While the technology forever changes with the musical passage of clock time , Mysterio ’s helmet has almost always been the beginning of his powers and his protection from his gasolene . This is why his iconic goldfish bowl headstall made for an incredibly obvious and vulnerable washy dapple .
Many of Spider - Man ’s fights with the Master of Illusions finish with Beck getting perforate in the face , usually get out his dome in the process . Far From Homefollows a alike logic , wherein Mysterio ’s helmet served as the control panel for the EDITH system , though Spider - Man ( sadly ) does n’t punch through the bean to get to Beck ’s face .
Hidden Power: A Supernatural Phase
Since then , Beck has been coy as to whether or not his power are psychic or not . It should be noted that even with this upgrade , Beck was still Beck . His incompetence annoyed the demons so much that he was finally foray of his powers before being demoted back to a regular human with a fishbowl helmet .
Hidden Weakness: A Massive Ego
Beck is a limited effects wizard who failed as an actor , as his brainiac was n’t recognized by those around him . This only increase Beck ’s cynicism , and he used his alter - self-importance as Mysterio to lash out and fulfill his ambitions .
The fact that Beck is n’t even abide by as a super - villain further embitters him , which is why he overcompensates and crow every chance he gets . fourth dimension and again , Spider - Man apply Mysterio ’s habit of overdramatic oral presentation and theatricality as an curtain raising to land a decisive smash . In fact , the Master of Illusions has become predictable .
Hidden Power: Mutant Powers
The third Mysterio , Francis Klum , bought Mysterio ’s discarded armor and used it to institutionalize a strand of petty crimes and looting . What makes Klum dissimilar from the old incarnations is that he is a mutant with telekinetic , telepathic , and teleport abilities .
Combined with Mysterio ’s built - in illusion engineering , Klum became a powerful Master of Illusion before Spider - Man and the previous Mysterios – Quentin Beck and Daniel Berkhart – block off him . He contend to take to the woods jail sentence by teleport at the last second , but not before he gets stab during the melee . He has n’t been run across since .
Hidden Weakness: He’s Just A Guy
For all his grandiosity and domination of deception , Mysterio is literally just a guy . Even with his state - of - the - art special effects , petrol , and trademark magic trick , Beck is still a conman with a catchy thingumajig .
This is n’t much of a surprisal since many of Spider - Man ’s villains are regular malefactor with some sweetening , but Beck is notably the feeble of the passel . Simply receive past Mysterio ’s judgment biz and tap him out is more than enough to put an death to his charade . At one detail , Mysterio ’s criminal career even stopped because Beck relocated to Las Vegas for his retreat .
Hidden Power: Multiverse Travelling
Far From Homehinted that the multiverse exists , and Mysterio is ( apparently ) a hero on his Earth . While this was later proven to be another one of Beck ’s lies thus temporarily put off the approximation of a multiverse in the MCU , Mysterio is one of the few characters to successfully infract the multiverse in the comics .
After losing one too many times to Spider - Man , Mysterio relocates to a parallel Earth where his curse is utter . He tries to retake his Earth of origin using an mechanical man impersonating him but , as mentioned earlier , his robotic doppelganger does n’t succeed .
Hidden Weakness: Terminal Cancer
As if to accentuate that Mysterio is really a regular human , filmmaker and amusing writer Kevin Smith gave him cancer when he wrote Beck ’s crossover with Daredevil . After old age of breathing in hallucinogenic gaseous state and absorb the radioactive energy give out by the technology in his helmet , Mysterio abbreviate a brain tumor and lung cancer .
This prompt Mysterio to go out in a blaze of gloriole by driving Daredevil insane , which he fails to do . Beck then commit off one last plan , namely shooting himself in the headland – an musical theme he “ slip ” from Kraven the Hunter .
