Mysterio
Dome-headed special-effects villain
Mysterio is a supervillain in Marvel Comics, primarily an enemy of Spider-Man.
The character is typically a special effects artist and stuntman who uses illusions, holograms, and trickery rather than superpowers—his signature is a fishbowl-shaped helmet that obscures his face.
The name suggests mystery and theatrical misdirection: The con artist pulled a real Mysterio act.
