Mysterio was defeated by Rob Van Dam at WWE vs. ECW Head to Head on June 7, 2006. Immediately after WWE vs. ECW, WWE.com reported that Paul Heyman approached Mysterio about jumping to ECW. It was announced on the June 9 edition of SmackDown that Rey would stay home, on WWE's SmackDown!. After that, he would go on to be defeated by Finlay after ECW's Sabu interfered. After the match, Sabu put Mysterio through a table as SmackDown! went off the air.

Mysterio was revealed as the main antagonist of Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, on IGN September 6th, 2007. In the game he seeks to use an army of Phantoms, foot soldiers made of a combination of the symbiote and holographics, to conquer the world. At the same time, he brainwashes a large part of Spider-Man's rogues gallery to do his dirty work and retrieve the shards of the meteor that will let him achieve his goal. He was voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

Mysterio is a valuble opportunity for fans of Echo and the Bunnymen who did not keep up with Ian MCCulloch between their 1988 breakup and 1997's Evergreen. Mysterio is hit and miss at times, but it ... showcases some of the same brilliance which led the rock press to dub Echo the next U2. Mysterio has been criticised for its attempts to be too much of a Leonard Cohen album, and it does include one of the singer-songwriter's best in "Lover Lover Lover." Mysterio would be Ian McCulloch's last solo album until the yet-to-be titled project due out in late 2001 or early 2002. He has admitted to being uncomfortable writting songs by himself and felt disinterested in his own solo work. That would explain some of Mysterio's inhibited sound. (Interestingly, Ian McCulloch voiced an interest in having people like Nick Cave write songs for him in the future.) However, Mysterio is a worthy item for all Echo and the Bunnymen fans.

In the 1994 Spider-Man animated series Mysterio, voiced by Gregg Berger, was a supervillain who blames Spider-Man for ruining his reputation. In his first appearance, "The Menace of Mysterio", Mysterio frames Spider-Man for various crimes, but his plan is exposed by Spider-Man and Detective Terri Lee, and he is jailed. Later, he becomes a member of the Insidious Six in the episodes "The Insidious Six" and "Battle of the Insidious Six", but the entire team fails and disbands to avoid being arrested. In Mysterio's final appearance in the series, "The Haunting of Mary Jane", he creates a studio in secret. He kidnaps Mary Jane Watson (or rather, her clone) and Spider-Man teams up with Mysterio, battling robot versions of Carnage, The Lizard, and Dr. Octopus, all of whom Spider-Man fought in the past in a deathtrap Mysterio had designed to one day lure Spider-Man to and kill him (though not all the villains were exact copies, namely the Carnage robot with firebreath). Spider-Man discovers that Mysterio was in love with a woman named Miranda Wilson, a former actress who was disfigured and planned the entire kidnapping to swap bodies with the similar-looking Mary Jane.

Recently it seems the original Mysterio has somehow come back from the dead. When he and the other new Mysterios took over the High School where Peter Parker was teaching as a Science teacher. It is yet to be seen how he was animated or what sort of new powers he has or whether this was just an illusion.

Mysterio: It’s funny because this film is going to be released before the Warner Bros. live action ‘Scooby-Doo’ film, so technically then, wouldn’t that make you the first "live" incarnation of such a character closely familiarized with the "Scooby-Doo" series? What’s that feel like?
