User blog:Tesla Man/Riddle Me Mysterious: The Riddler vs Mysterio









Riddler=

Edward Nigma discovered puzzles when he was a young boy, and he gradually incorporated them into his criminal career. His father physically abused him, which left him with a compulsion to tell the truth (materializing through the telling of riddles), as well as a desire to prove his superiority by outwitting everyone around him.

The Riddler's criminal modus operandi is so deeply ingrained into his personality that he is virtually powerless to stop himself from acting it out. He cannot simply kill his opponents when he has the upper hand; he has to put them in a deathtrap to see if he can devise a life and death intellectual challenge that the hero cannot solve and escape. However, unlike many of Batman's themed enemies, Riddler's compulsion is quite flexible, allowing him to commit any crime as long as he can describe it in a riddle or puzzle.

Mysterio=



Before becoming Mysterio, Quentin Beck was a special-effects wizard who worked for a major studio and had dreams to make a name for himself in the film industry. Quentin Beck began his career as a movie stuntman in Hollywood, then became interested in special effects. He became one of the most accomplished special effects designers in the industry but due to lack of recognition wanted to become an actor with no success. However, he lacked the looks and talent to be a star and the patience to be a director, and saw his career in special-effects to be a dead-end job. When a friend jokingly suggested that the quickest way to become famous was to take out a superhero, Beck realized that his expertise in illusions could make him an effective super-villain. Choosing Spider-Man, a relatively weak target, Beck prepared his resources for a few months before attempting to eliminate the wall-crawler.
