Who is Mysterio?

Daniel Berkhart is a criminal who assumed the Mysterio identity, wielding the original's arsenal of illusion-casting technology and special effects expertise to bedevil Spider-Man — initially hired by J. Jonah Jameson to impersonate the seemingly deceased Quentin Beck.

Emerging from the fertile Bronze Age of Marvel Comics, this Mysterio made their debut in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #142 in 1975, brought to life by the acclaimed creative team of Gerry Conway and Ross Andru. Over a remarkable span stretching more than five decades to 2026, this character has woven through some of Marvel's most iconic titles, including Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider, proving a staying power that few can match. The company here is genuinely electrifying — sharing pages with Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Flint Marko, Kraven the Hunter, and Electro places this Mysterio squarely at the heart of Marvel's most thrilling street-level drama. For collectors and fans who love the rich, layered world of Spider-Man's corner of the Marvel Universe, this is a character well worth tracking down.
