No, that's Magneto.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is he also a Nazi concentration camp survivor in the comics, or was that just in the movie as an ironic nod to Apt Pupil ?

Nope, that's the classic Magneto story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Magneto doesn't wear a mask. He wears a helmet.

ita hmms my ahem. The only thing that Marvel has waffled on is whether Magneto is Jewish or a Magnetic Pole.

How much of his face does it cover? Hmmmm?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Enough so that when they first showed him without it, he was able to go totally unrecognized by either the X-Men or the readers for an entire issue. The final panel of the issue was a reveal of the helmet as Magneto said something along the lines of clothes really do make the man.

Aha. A bit more than this much of a mask.
