A piece of downloadable content for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 that puts Magneto in a kingly uniform has caused a bit of a stir in Spain. According to Spanish reports, the uniform greatly resembles that worn on occasion by its king, Juan Carlos.
There is talk that the Spanish royal house may ask Capcom to remove this DLC, mirroring an event that happened once before when Marvel portrayed Magneto wearing similar garb in The Pulse: House of M. The royal house has not officially made a statement on the matter thus far, but says it will "discuss" the game content and whether it's cool with it.
Drawing pictures of kings is serious business!

Game Jarna1izm!!!1!!
Besides, the king should be honored that Magneto is wearing clothes similar to his. I'd sure as hell be honored if Magneto was wearing one of my outfits.
Magneto can feel free to rock any of my wardrobe any time he wants. It'd be an honour and a privilege.
Imagine if any other country tried to do the same thing the U.S wants to do with the internet.
[thread derailed]
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of Spain
...I hate myself for this stupid joke. It fails. Mainly in the plains.
And give us helmetless Doom!!! (he's been drawn as a ginger without his helmet before!)
Uh, yeah it would. Because he'd still be wearing the suit, which gives Spain the right to compalin about the offense.
Making an LOL CAPCOM MAKIN MONEH GRABS LIKE PAC MAN SON statement is stupid if you actually didn't read the article, and just saw "Capcom and DLC\
Didn’t something like this happen a while ago? When someone in Wolfenstein 3D wore the same outfit as Prince Harry or something...
Because you are wrong. He is the "head of state" (is that the word?) and he gets paid for representing us outside our borders and other non-political fancy stuff. I would vote yes for the third spanish republic at any time for obvious reasons but he actually "does shit".
@Red TheHaze Veron
I lol´d.
Be atheish/agnostic and problem solved, do not blame other people for your problems funny guy.
Seriously though, would they be that petty? Can't imagine the Dutch royal family ever making a fuss about something similar.
Quick, someone show them NBA jam!
