admonition ! This article contains coddler for sin of Sinister : Dominion # 1X - Menfans everywhere are familiar withMagnetoand his iconic helmet , which he wears to protect himself from psychical attacks , but what they may not know is the shocking inspiration behind the helmet .
Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto first debuted his anti - psychic helmet inX - Men#1 , and since then it ’s been a keystone for his fictitious character . Not only does it bring gloomy intimidation while more often than not blanketing his font in tail , but its function is alone , especially given his arch curse . Professor Charles Xavier is one of the most powerful telepaths in history , and he has perpetrate himself and his mutant belligerent team be intimate as the X - Men to monitor Magneto and everything he does , cave in Erik ’s predilection for deadly mutant extremism . And that is what makes the origin of Magneto ’s helmet so shockingly ironical . To struggle with his ultimate nemesis , Magneto is using an idea he got from Charles ’ own brother : Cain Marko aka the Juggernaut .
Juggernaut Inspired Magneto’s Anti-Psychic Helmet
The comment made by Mr. Sinister about Magneto ’s helmet indicates that Erik stole the idea from Juggernaut , and while that may seem strange at first , it in reality makes a lot of sense . Cain Marko became the Juggernaut while he and Charles serve well together in the Korean War , which means Erik would have bang about Cain during his friendly relationship with Charles . Part of theJuggernaut ’s mystical suit of armoris the anti - psychical helmet , as a telepathic attack is the only reliable manner to take him down , which means he had one from the very beginning of his transformation – ie , since Erik and Charles were still friends . So , when Erik made the villainous transition to Magneto , he remembered how Juggernaut ’s helmet made him immune to Xavier ’s telepathic abilities , and applied it to his helmet to achieve the same exemption , since Charles became his sworn foe .
Magneto may antedate the Juggernaut in terms of real - man publication day of the month , but withinX - Mencontinuity , Juggernaut was a scoundrel long before Erik , and he unwittingly inspiredMagneto ’s iconic anti - psychic helmet .
