Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
ita hmms my ahem. The only thing that Marvel has waffled on is whether Magneto is Jewish or a Magnetic Pole.

If I only had a brain...
Magneto doesn't wear a mask. He wears a helmet.
How much of his face does it cover? Hmmmm?

Less than this.

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.

This coincides nicely with my new and furious Lethem obsession. From this week's Time:
For a literary critics' darling, JONATHAN LETHEM spends a lot of time pondering guys in capes. His novel, The Fortress of Solitude, set in Brooklyn, N.Y., and various short stories include lovingly written passages on superheroes. Lethem is penning a Marvel comic, Omega the Unknown, due in 2006. "Marvel dared me to put my love on the line," says the author, who is reviving a little-known character from the '70s. Omega is "kind of a meta-superhero," he says, a "bewildered visitor to the Planet Earth" with--yes--a cape. Next we'd like to finally see that Philip Roth pop-up book.
