TechB tier

Is Mysterio good?
Mysterio's passive Heal Block gives him a real edge against constantly regenerating, Debuff-immune champions like 
Sabretooth or 
Mister Sinister, and he's got strong Power Control through his Special 2 Power Drain. Stack Chemical Gas into a Heavy Attack during Frenzy and he can put out serious Poison damage on top of that.
He does have a couple of built-in weak spots: Armor Break or a Spider-Verse knockdown cracks his helmet and cuts off his Chemical Gas gain, and his Reflection Gas only bounces back hit damage, not damage-over-time.
Strengths
- Passive Heal Block is brutal against Debuff-immune, always-regenerating champions
- Several ways to tank or even benefit from incoming damage
- Strong Power Control via Special 2's Power Drain
- Big Poison damage when stacking Chemical Gas into a Heavy during Frenzy
Weaknesses
- Armor Break or a Spider-Verse knockdown cracks his helmet and stops Chemical Gas gain
- Reflection Gas only reflects hit damage, not damage over time
- Illusion Gas's Miss chance does nothing against opponents who bypass Miss
Background
Quentin Beck always dreamed of making it big in the film industry.
However, even as one of the most accomplished special effects designers in the business, he never received the spotlight he rightfully deserved.
Craving recognition, Beck took on the persona “Mysterio”, using his expertise in special effects and illusions to become a Super-Villain with the goal of taking down a costumed hero and thus proving his capabilities to the world.
