The Magneto Helmet Beanie is the only toque that both keeps your head warm and allows you to control metal. The beanie was crocheted by Justine Hoffman, proprietor of the Etsy store JustinesCC. The faux helmet is made to order and sells for $30.
Hoffman mentioned that one of the reasons why she created the Magneto Helmet Beanie was because of the fact that when it comes to clothing, Magneto gets no love. This is true, but it's not due to a lack of interest from fans or crafters. After all, how many people really want to be seen in red spandex and a purple cape? That being said, you can still pay tribute to the leader of the Brotherhood and avoid looking ridiculous with the Magneto Helmet Beanie.
