Man of Mystery is the third highest played cover song, and was played commonly from May to July 2007. When the band recorded the song for the NME Supermassive Selection was roughly around the time the song was played. In its last few performances in July it was played at every other gig. Perhaps it was a song the band had been rehearsing for a while and, when recording it for the NME promo disc, decided to play it live as well. After two performances in August the song was dropped from setlists, with the exception of one performance in March 2008. Interestingly this gig was when the band was rehearsing Uno beforehand. It is possible that the band intended to play Uno, but scrapped it at the last minute and replaced it with another uncommon song, Man of Mystery. This is entirely hypothetical, but this theory may explain its random setlist placement nearly a year after its last performance.
Originally performed by The Shadows, Man of Mystery is the third highest played cover song by Muse. The song made it's live debut in May 2007 and in June 2007 the band released a studio version as part of [[The Supermassive Selection (compilation)|The Supermassive Selection]] compilation album released by [[NME (magazine)|NME Magazine]]. The song was played regularly that year following it's debut until August, and following one more performance in March 2008 the song was dropped from setlists.  


It is entirely possible the band may revisit the song, but there are no indications it may happen in the near future.
It looks very unlikely that the band will play Man of Mystery again, an assumption backed up by the fact it wasn't included as a setlist option at the [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by-request show.
