#i think a lot about webspinners volume 1 through 3

[mysteriorb]

i love how some interpretations of mysterio seem like a silly 2-dimensional bad guy on the surface, but in reality he hides behind his mysterio persona because he felt inadequate and wanted to be something greater. he craves attention because he felt invisible as a child, and thought that the only way he could have power was by being someone else.

i wonder if because of quentin's neglectful father and dead mother, quentin got a lot of his ideas of how the world works from watching tv. he probably saw confident and over the top supervillains and wanted to be like them. he felt undeserving of love so he wanted people to fear him.
