You know I am currently reading Ditko's epic run on Doctor Strange, and it occurs to me that Dormamu has a similar design to Mysterio, i.e. dome like conical head with vague outlines of face sticking out.
The MCU Dormamu lacked the comics design so we don't get that visual similarity so much. But yeah, the MCU Mysterio is good. I am glad they didn't try to modernize or do without the fishbowl look. It looks decent and legit.
I never did like the MCU retcon of how they placed Peter into the overall story. If it were up to me I would have thought that Peter Parker/Spider-Man would have been the Rami version and have him die between the Timeline before the Avengers and then have him be more like a myth.
Then showcase Miles Morales getting the powers as a way to replicated the Spider-Man process. Have Tony find out about him and try to recruit him and then the rest is history.
I guess we'll have to see how Mysterio gets his "abilities"-- no explanation so far, and hopefully it will be explained in the movies. Obviously he is not known for real magic, but illusion and practical effects. I wonder if he also managed to scavenge some Chitauri technology like the Vulture's team did?
Quentin Beck is a Hollywood special effects genius so it's not inconceivable for him to use alien tech or stuff as props to make his movies realistic and so on.
The newspaper strip did a take on Mysterio where Beck was a special effects genius working on a movie (called "The Monster Maker' in reference to Stan Lee's failed project that he tried to make with French director Alain Resnais) that Spider-Man crashed because he thought a scene of a monster attacking a girl was a real monster since the effects were that good. This bankrupted and destroyed the props for that low-budget movie turning Beck to a life of crime...which gotta say was a good take on the whole hero creating the villain thing. Since Spider-Man made a believable mistake and error, and his actions did cause legit collateral damage.
So Mysterio poses as a superhero and uses gadgets and stuff to manipulate people left-right-and-center, and gets the public to love him and so on, while Spider-Man gets resentful and upset (Jonah sends him to get pictures of Mysterio and not Spider-Man) and that sort of thing.
Rami Spider-man was a public figure though. He was well documented by the Bugle, numerous citizens had encountered him in broad daylight no less, and his battles with super-villains had been public displays. He even had a public celebration devoted to his heroics which he even showed up to. Raimi Spider-man had been active as well for about 6-7 years so people definitely knew about him.
The only one you could consider a myth would be Webb Spider-man, but he also has documentation of his short existence, not to mention he that by his third costume change he was operating in broad daylight.
MCU Peter prior to Civil War was only operating for a couple of months prior to meeting Tony Stark. Nobody knew he existed by that point because he was just that new.
