Aside from Quentin Beck, others have taken on his identity. These are also explored here, but the focus is mainly on Quentin as the true Mysterio. From his beginnings as a wannabe super-hero, to his repeated failures against Spider-Man, his dark confrontation with Daredevil and his return to glory with the Sinister Six.
As always, I'd like to thank the guys over at www.chronologyproject.com which I use as a basis and work out my own continuity. Those guys have done all the heavy lifting for me!
MCG Note:
- Issues in blue are worth reading, are major chapters in Mysterio's life or may play a key part in the great Marvel tapestry.
- Issues in grey are part of Mysterio's chronology, stories of note that aren't essential, no longer considered 'required reading' or I, personally, don't suggest reading.
