Origins:
 
His previous life is a mystery even to himself, the man known only as “Conundrum” was found by the criminal illusionist Mysterio (Quentin Beck) and trained extensively in parlour tricks alongside Beck’s younger cousin Maguire Beck, and Quentin’s former cellmate Daniel Berkhart, who assumed the Mysterio identity during the time when Beck was imprisoned. As Mysterio’s students, Conundrum and Berkhart developed a professional rivalry and engaged in a practice of one-upmanship. An aficionado of Eastern Mysticism and Asian art, Conundrum soon left to pursue his own ambitions, eventually amassing a loyal band of terrorists known as the army of Conundrum.
