Marvel's Mutant Master of Magnetism, Magneto, is making his presence felt in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the form of a rather impressive mural located in the city's Strip District.A photo of the mural depicting the longtime X-Men foe was shared to Twitter by The Illuminerdi's Joseph Deckelmeier. In the replies, another Twitter user explains that the Magneto mural is courtesy of artist Jeremy M. Raymer. It is located in Pittsburgh's Strip District at 33rd Street and Penn Avenue.
An extremely powerful mutant with control over magnetism and metal, Magento is one of Marvel Comics' most iconic villains, most often being depicted as the sworn enemy of Charles Xavier/Professor X and the X-Men, as well as the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants. More recently, however, Magneto has actually aided Charles in establishing the Mutant nation of Krakoa. Created by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Magneto first appeared all the way back in 1963's X-Men #1. He has also appeared in live-action on more than a few occasions, being played by both Sir Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series.
Funny enough, Raymer's Magneto mural appears to have been painted on the building of a business that offers patrons money in exchange for scrap metal.
