Description
Kristen Beck was a major cinephile. Though she had a degree in mechanical engineering, the field never quite sparked her imagination like her obsession with special effects production did. After working for a robotics company and receiving no accolades for her contributions in the workplace, she decided it would be a grand idea to quit her day job and break into Hollywood as a special effects artist. Unfortunately she went unappreciated here too. It's not that Kristen wasn't a talented effects artists, quite the contrary, it was more just that she had a repulsive tendency to be egotistical, arrogant, and maybe just a little bit unhinged. Kristen was fired from the first movie set she worked on after nearly killing the actors with a life threatening (but oh so convincing) animatronic. She cursed the director for ruining her vision as she was dragged away by security.

No matter what she did, Kristen never earned the reverence she knew she deserved. Then it hit her: People love superheroes. Any idiot with a cape was adored by the public, what was to stop Kristen from putting on a cape of her own? She'd need to perform an act of heroism. Saving a cat from a tree? No, too cliche. Apprehending Doctor Doom? On second thought, better not swear off cat rescue just yet. Eventually she settled on the perfect debut: she would bring the public menace Spider-Man to justice.

After watching her favorite Sci-Fi flick, perfecting her lifelike digital projection technology, and accidentally inhaling a bunch of purple glitter, Mysterio was born. Kristen was bound to make a splash with her hero persona. The queen of a superior alien world, Mysterio voyaged to Earth to guide the primitive human race to enlightenment, to salvation. Unfortunately Mysterio spent more time on her backstory than she did preparing for the fight against Spider-Man. Though the battle was an impressively convincing public spectacle, Mysterio lost, but she did escape with her secret identity intact. Kristen went from dejected to delighted when she discovered that Mysterio had quickly become a star in the media. Some doubted the legitimacy of the supposed visitor from another world, some laughed at how she got owned by Spider-Man, and some excitedly mused about where Mysterio came from and how she arrived on Earth. It wasn't long before an online media presence of Mysterio true believers organized to speculate and report theories, and possible sightings of the alien being. This group of fanatics quickly grew, rallying behind their battle cry,
"MYSTERIO IS REAL".

Not bad for a first act. Kristen mobilized her projection technology using cloaked airborne drones. Now Mysterio could make public appearances and continue to generate buzz anytime anywhere. In the meantime, Kristen got to work creating new state of the art illusion technology and robotics. Mysterio would soon be ready to conquer Spider-Man in front of her adoring public... after a brief intermission.
