[edit] Ficitonal Character Biography

Desmond Charne was a former holography technician who wanted to be a supervillain. To that end, he used holograph technology which could make him invisible or create 3-D illusions.

He made his criminal debut at Betty Brant and Ned Leeds' wedding, intent to rob them, but Spider-Man interfered. After a lengthy battle, Spider-Man defeated Mirage by dropping a chandelier on him.

Mirage has also fought Daredevil, who also defeated him.

Mirage attended the "Bar With No Name," and was massacred along with all the other villains present at the incident by the Scourge of the Underworld. He was reported to have survived, as part of a ploy to lure the Scourge into a trap. Dressed as Mirage, Captain America captured Scourge, who was then shot to death by another mysterious assailant, who was likely another Scourge.

[edit] Equipment

Mirage's suit allowed him to produce several effects involving illusion. He could disguise himself as others, use invisibility, and project multiple images. He also often carried a handgun.
