Mysterio is an awesome villain.
Now here is an excerpt from Adam-Troy Castro's Sinister Six novels.In this particular passage Spider-Man is describing each member of the Six to a loser criminal named the Disc Jockey in a bid to show him that he's amateur compared to the villains Spider-Man usually faces.
Here is his description of Mysterio:
"The third guy I'm talking about is a washed up Hollywood stunt man by the name of Quentin Beck,who calls himself Mysterio.Beck happens to be a world class fighter; he's agile,and well trained,and able to swallow an impossible amount of physical abuse before he even starts to consider falling down.He has a kick,just for starters,capable of taking your head off.
But that's not what makes him so dangerous.You see,he's also one of the world's leading masters of special effects.He has so many ways of fooling you that he can make you think you're seeing miracles.He can float on a pillar of smoke.He can appear and disappear at a whim.He can pass through solid walls.He can make you run screaming in terror from people trying to help you,then trick you into seeing a solid floor where's there's really a fifty storey drop.
Heck if I wanted to stand here all day,I could tell you all of his gimmicks.But let's just give you an idea by saying that not so long ago,he spent a full year terrorizing this one guy with hallucinations,driving the fella insane just to prove he could.Not a nice man,this Mysterio".
Ok Spidey's description of Electro:
"Okay,now none of these guys are exactly poster children for mental health,but the fourth guy is probably the wackiest of the group.His name is Max Dillon,and he calls himself Electro,the human power battery.Now,I don't have time to go into how,but somewhere along the line he got charged up with enough raw electricity to light up a city.He never runs out of it either.
He can release more lightning than a medium-sized thunder storm and still have enough left to totally incinerate a city block or two.Try to shoot him and bullets explode before they get close.Try to throw him in a river and he'll vaporize thousands of gallons of water without getting wet.He can fly,hurl ball lightning,blow up cars and buildings by pointing at them,give you seizures by disrupting the flow of nerve impulses in your brain,and completely drain the power from any machine you might build to fight him.
Now you'd figure a guy like this,he'd just make millions the honest way by getting a job driving turbines for the power company-but no,he prefers levelling neighbourhoods and laughing at anybody who tries to stop him".
And Spidey's description of Ock,because I had it already at hand 😉
"That's five.And as if all that wasn't bad enough,I have considerately saved the worst for last.Dr.Otto Octavius,who goes by the name Doctor Octopus.Here's a guy,I can't even begin to tell you what's dangerous about him.
Just to start with he's one of the ten most brilliant scientists on the planet-an expert in the electromagnetic spectrum,who knows more about the effects of radiation than anybody else alive.Combine this with the fact that he's also a totally murderous psychopathic terrorist,who only one year ago (just picking one example at random,you understand) tried to kill about a billion people with nuclear weapons planted in several dozen major cities worldwide.
Not a nice guy,and that's not the least of it,because I haven't even mentioned this special harness he wears that comes equipped with four flexible metal tentacles which move fast enough to deflect gun fire and are strong enough to swing subway trains like baseball bats.I'll note that the harness and the tentacles are made out of adamantium,an artificial alloy that once forged is indestructible enough to survive ground zero nuclear explosions without a scratch.Next to that,anything else you throw at it is just a bad joke.
Oh and the worst part of it is that he can mentally control these tentacles whether he's wearing the harness or not.In fact he's been known to command them from as far as 800 miles away".

Too bad we didn't see this character in a movie and probably won't for a very long time at the very least. 🙁

Pleasure.
Now reading Mysterio's description,you see how cool he is?? And don't worry about the costume.It would get an update.Hopefully for the better.

That concept is alien to Raimi.Just look at the Spider-Man movies.I could name 50 things off the top of my head that Raimi changed.And not for the better.
The Spider-Man movies are great,they'd just be a little better if they were just a little more intact with the comics.In SM-1 Raimi did a perfect job but the only thing he changed was the Goblin's costume.In SM-2 alot of things were changed but overall it was still a great movie.

That's where you're wrong: Raimi changed a lot of things in SM1. The word organics mean anything to you?
