Holy shit it’s Magneto.

Even the suit is totally his style.

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
