Mysterio plots!

(Let’s set this up with an adult Spider-Man)

Mysterio, also known as Quinten Beck, was furious. He had once been a promising stuntman/special effects expert, then he was a Avenger’s level threat, but now he was *gasp!* a common crook! Yes, he was still committing amazing and spectacular crimes, ones that would be talked about for months, but he still felt unhappy. And it was all that son of a bitch web-heads fault! Mysterio needed a good ****, something to permanently deal with that menace? But what? He recalled the time that he had tried to drive Spider-Man insane, using illusions and amusement park sets, but the wall crawler had figured out what was going on and ruined his plans! Mysterio still wanted to use illusions, maybe some hypnosis, but what would to the trick?

“Maybe a break would help me think. I don’t need to do this immediately, after the casino robbery I can hide my time.” And so Mysterio took off his dome, and sat down and turned on the television in his lair. After flipping though a few channels, something came on that drew his interest. It was an advertisement for self-help hypnosis tapes, the kinds that would make people want to quit smoking and the like. Mysterio loved those, and even sold a few when he was disguised as Dr. Ludwig Reinhardt, but never could really do something as drastic as “Rob a bank” with those. Depressed, Mysterio flipped to another channel, when he saw a news report about men who had transitioned into women and wanted to be wives, and that’s when he knew what he had to do!
