Meet The Real Magneto – Russian Boy Attracts Metal With His Body

After being electrocuted when leaning against a lamppost, the boy went to sleep and woke up suddenly somewhat more super.

“When I came round, I felt groggy, but managed to get home and told my mum what had happened. When I woke up the next day and got out of bed, I found some coins that had been lying on the mattress had stuck to my body. Then when I was having breakfast and dropped my spoon, it stuck to my chest,” Nikolai Kryaglyachenko told the New York Post.

This apparently happens fairly frequently in Russia; the story reports that a Russian family was “magnetized” following the meltdown at the Chernobyl nuclear plant more than 25 years ago.
