>>150191690He tries to get legit magic power multiple times, but it never lasts and often backfires on him somehow.
>>150191712What are some stories?
Does Marvel have any rules with Dr. Strange magic? That's the one I'm assuming that has any rules that can logically be taught or given to other characters because many other magic characters have their specific stuff like Wanda. I assume not and it's just they chant spells and use magic items and that's it.The writer makes up bullshit.To answer OP's question it is because writers don't like splitting focus on the main hero of the book and cutting away to a side story of a villain all that often. Like to a degree to where Mysterio's magic becomes its own character arc or dedicated sub-plot. It's kinda lame.What they should do besides that is add to his movie and illusion gimmick with brand new stuff like him getting a female assistant like a magician. Also have him have a kung fu themed suit or various suits based off movie genres that give him different abilities. He should also do stuff where he messes with the framing of the panels or does stuff on wires like in kung fu movies or he throws his voice through adr/dubbing. He could also blind his enemies through squibs filled with blood. He could also use more optical illusions and maybe a gadget where he can rewind certain actions like how movies play stuff in reverse in order to create a shot. That might be overpowered so maybe it is limited in some way.
>>150192031I think having a whole “film crew” could be interesting like the MCU version. I know he’s had partners before but having a dedicated group of people could lead to way more elaborate illusions
Bump for best Spider-Man villain
>>150192464Yep. Too bad Chameleon works alone. Though I could see Mysterio stealing that tech and having one of his crew members use it. Wonder what the henchman would look like. More surreal medieval stuff I guess. Maybe some wizard or magic paraphenalia brought to life like how Mysterio is the crystal ball. One could just have a top hat head and another could be a wizard hat head. I dunno. Maybe one is named Sandbag and is a strongman in charge of hoisting up heavy sfx or audio equipment/weapons. One could be an intern/coffee boy type who brings Mysterio his refreshments alongside informing him of any changes in regards to a mission or Spider-Man. He could have a bard cap. The two object heads could be women or a man and woman duo who are the main actors. Maybe one has the comedy mask and the other drama mask. Might be uninspired. Finally maybe a child actor. That way Mysterio has some sinister scheme to keep brainwashing this kid into becoming obsessed with fame and movies/villainy. A legacy angle that is slightly different from the goblins.
>>150194514>child actorBetter it’s just a regular young struggling actor who wants a job and who better to learn from than Mysterio. I mean he did work in Hollywood before villainy>Now remember *insert name* it’s just as important what you’re not saying than what you are saying in a scene>I think I get what you’re saying Mr. Beck. Also don’t forget we have to case that bank later.
>>150191690fake magic is cooler in a world filled with magicians
>>150191690It's a mystery
>>150194660I don’t think Spider-Man comics had any real magic when mysterio was introduced. They were trying to make the comics grounded in realism during the early years
>>150195600it had supernatural aspects at least
>>150191690It would take too long to learn
>>150191690It's a real mystery.
>>150194660>Mysterio why don’t you use actual magic?>Because I don’t want to use real magic I want to use movie magic!
>>150197445>Magic always comes with a price, only a fool plays around with a monkey’s paw. It’s Russian Roulette but with your soul. Technology never betrays you if you know how it works and use it right. You get what you build. It’s real. Or as real as it is possible.
>>150197489>Besides demons and the like are a rogue element. And while I understand that production’s a hectic process, you gotta have at least some control on what’s going on
>>150191690He did. Multiple times. And every time people relied it was dumb and undid it.
>>150197445based
>>150191690He would have to go up against Strange then
Bump
>>150191690Too difficult
>>150194660I think more appropriately giving a tech based illusionist actual abilities through psionics or magic takes more than it adds to their character.It's like that gag comic of Cypher gaining increasingly more abstracted abilities from his mutation until he basically can just do whatever. Amping up something isn't the same as adding to a character.
>>150196600how long?
>>150191690That defeats the whole fucking point
>>150191690That would make him boring. >>150194660Yeah. Stronger=/=more interesting
>>150205474Too
>>150203927>that gag comicWait, that ISN'T based on actual power creep in canon?
>>150191690There are dozens of generic sorcerers in MarvelThere's only one fake magician who does it very well with special effects and illusions
>>150191690Is a mystery alright.
>>150191690Read a fucking comic book
>>150197445>Can't touch the stuff, union rules.
