Do you wish you had a King?

Marvel Comics announced that next summer it will introduce a new saga titled "House of M", a collection recalling and uniting the stories of such superheroes as Spiderman, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four.

Marvel chose a photograph of Spain's King, Juan Carlos, as the model for Magneto, an arch-villain in the X-Men comic.
The amazing similarity between Magneto and the King of Spain will be seen this summer on the cover of one of the volumes of the collection "The Pulse", drawn by Mike Mayhem.


Magneto, one of the X-Men's classic enemies, can be seen dressed as the King, with a red band crossing his bemedalled chest, as in the official photographs of Juan Carlos. The drawing is so detailed that it can be seen that the two are wearing the same ring. The Zarzuela Palace has not released a statement in response.

It's Mike Mayhew, not Mayhem.

Actually the detail goes down to the vein patterns on the back of the hand, even.

Seems like a little too much photo referencing.
