History: (Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man II#1 (fb) ) - A low-level criminal found a mask and, using some glue and craft supplies, fashioned a low-rent super villain costume for himself.
(Peter Parker: The
Spectacular Spider-Man II#1) - Calling himself Mindbender and
claiming to have psychic powers, the criminal cornered a couple, Gerry
and Mandy, plus their son, in an alley, demanding their valuables. They
complied, but when Spider-Man swooped down, Mindbender was paralyzed
with fear, meekly allowing Spider-Man to snatch his mask off as he
mumbled an explanation.
Comments: Created by Chip Zdarsky and Goran Parlov.
This guy is somehow even more of a doofus than the likes
of Destructor
and the Basher.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Mindbender has no known connections to:
(Peter
Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man II#1/2) - Clueless couple Gerry
and Mandy, plus their gaming-obsessed son, tried to find their car
in New York City. Gerry's phone told him to cut through a gloomy
alley as a shortcut, and they did so over Mandy's objections. There,
they ran into the malevolent Mindbender, who demanded their
valuables until Spider-Man showed up and revealed that Mindbender
was just a guy in a silly mask. Through the entire ordeal, their son
was occupied with playing Iron Man 7: Secret Armor Wars on his
phone; Spider-Man was displeased to see that he was featured in the
game as an NPC for Iron Man to rescue. When the Black Widow started
firing on him from the rooftops, Spider-Man ordered the family to
seek cover.
