I wasn't sure if this should go under General or Marvel General, but since I'm referring to Magneto I figured this would be good for now. Anyway, this is an article from Yahoo News today..

Serb cousins share same strange attraction

Serbia (AP) — Serb cousins David and Luka are poles apart from other kids, for when it comes to metalwear everything sticks.

The two boys from the central Serbian town of Gornji Milanovac have the rare ability to attract metal objects, acting much like human magnets.

Sanja Petrovic, the mother of 4-year-old David, said it first came to her attention "about a month ago."

"I asked him to fetch me a spoon so I cold feed his little brother, and he yelled back: 'Mom, it sticks!'" Petrovic recalls.

"I found him with several spoons and forks hanging from his body."

Terrified, the 26-year-old woman phoned her sister, who discovered that her son, Luka, 6, has the same attraction.

"Other kids in the family can't do this, just the two of them," Petrovic said.

The phenomenon is rare and so far medically unexplained. Several similar cases, however, have recently been reported in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia.

"As far as I know, there is no medical or scientific explanation," said radiologist Mihajlo Dodic, who runs a practice in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. He said the cousins' magnetism borders on the "paranormal."

Luka's father, Slavisa Lukic, said doctors have examined the boys, and announced them to be perfectly healthy, adding that they should be monitored as they grow up.

"Nobody can tell us why this is happening," he said.

David's mother said her son loses his magnetic powers when he is asleep, but regains them when he wakes up and starts moving.

When he plays with his friends "anything will stick to him," she said. Afterward he will feel a little chilly and tired, she said.

Both David and Luka are happy to put on a show for to visitors. On cue, the boys proudly smile and raise their hands in the air to show that cutlery and plates stick to their bodies without assistance.

The rest of the family also seem to have grown accustomed to the peculiarity and the attention.

"It was in shock at first, but now we just try to keep the knives away from them," Petrovic says.

Man that is awesome. I wish I had a real life mutant power

[ORIO]

That's so cool! We should all build some giant robots and have them hunt these little kids!

[D00MTR0N]

damn,that is strange.

So basically what your saying is that if the Star Wars Universe went up against our universe, we'd win because we have Magneto.

(Is that too obscure a reference?)

Here's another interesting one posted up on the X-Men facebook page.

Ah, is that Dynamo Jack? He's crazy and can push chopsticks through a table and flick nails through glass.

[behindthemask]

Yeh that's Dynamo Jack he's crazy as shit, if you had the time and dedication to eat,sleep,medicate and train your body can do wonderous things.

Do you guys actually believe these stories? Reminds me of that terrible Stan Lee "superhero" show that's on tv.

[thechris]

You mean Who Wants to be a Superhero? I can't believe that loser Feedback won over Major Victory. Major Victory was like Booster Gold meets everyone from the Golden Age. LOL.

[omega145]

No although that show was even worse that I had forgot about it. I'm talking about the show that stan lee hosts about the worldwide search for superheros, its pretty dumb.

[MegaPrime33]

That is kind of interesting though it seems improbable that there's NO explanation.

Since we're not actually talking about anything Marvel related, moving this to General Discussion.

[quinten182]

Magneto is Marvel, but these kids are not Magneto. Their power, if real, kinda sucks. Someday it grows and they can't even go outside because automobiles come hurling at them at high speeds.. ha
