Quentin wanted to prove that Spider-Man wasn't the great hero that people made him out to be; much due to his own jealousy of the wall-crawler becoming more popular than himself. So he decided to become a superhero in his own right to prove he was better than Spider-Man by using his special effects technology and creating illusions of monstrous creatures which he would then show up to stop under the guise of Mysterio.

Encountering Spider-Man
Sometime later, a giant water creature known as Hydro-Man attacked a northern side of New York. Spider-Man made several attempts to stop the creature from causing any damage but was ultimately defeated until Beck showed up and destroyed the illusion. He than planned to bait Spider-Man into his trap by robbing New York City's Federal Reserve Bank. He released a hallucinogen of giant Spider creatures in the middle of the city as a distraction while his android duplicate is fighting off the spiders. Spider-Man arrives just as planned to foil his schemes but Mysterio escaped with the gold just before the police arrived to arrest Spider-Man for the robbery.

Mysterio then impersonated Spider-Man and committed crimes, bashing the wall crawler's less than sterling reputation in the process. Exploiting Daily Bugle Publisher J.Jonah Jameson's hatred of the web-slinger, Quentin -- as Mysterio -- vowed to bring Spider-Man to justice. With his 'powers' he began to commit more robberies to fund his criminal activities and ruin Spider-Man, while also posing as the "heroic" Mysterio to stop him. He created effective carbon copys of Spider-Man and illusions he use to frame him. However, Mysterio was eventually stopped by Spider-Man and Lt Jean DeWolf at his hideout who also found evidence clearing his name. After his arrest, Quentin confessed to framing Spider-Man, clearing his name. He was than sent to prison at Ryker's Island.

The Gentleman's files
A year later after Spider-Man defeated the terrorist attack of The Green Goblin,  Wilson Fisk was released from Rykers and met with his lawyer Gustav Fiers who gave Fisk his files on multiple super-villains that Spider-Man went up against in the past, including a file of Quentin Beck himself, listed as a potential candidate for their  "Special Project".}}
