new lore I just made up, the greeks were dealing with mutants, they had a psyching, and the Corinthians made magical helmets that protected against psychics to win the war.

magneto got the last known helmet for himself, it is irreplaceable, unless you find another magical Corinthian helmet lost to time

How did they pad and offset the inside of these helmets originally?

They grew very long hair and wrapped it up underneath their helmet.
