== Charactah Account ==
Pietro is a superhuman with the ability to travel at speeds far beyond the average human. Pietro is the twin brother of the Scarlet Witch. After Pietro and his sister left the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, they became members of the Avengers. Although Quicksilver's loyalties and reliability have long been erratic, his love for his sister has proven constant.
Quicksilver had a habit of this early in his career, bouncing between the Avengers and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. He returned to villainy during the 80s, but this was later Retconned into having been the result of Maximus' brainwashing. And even without a thought-out decision to change sides, when you're as hotheaded as he is, you might find yourself up against your teammates as you pursue one rash course of action or another.
Quicksilver is not exactly a bad guy, just an impulsive dick. Having a rocky relationship with his father and sister doesn't help, however, and he outright tells a shrink that his main reason for being an impetuous, self-centered prick is the fact that the speed of the world around him is agonizingly slow to him.

== Trivia ==
* Pietro initially disapproved of Wanda's marriage to Vision. The idea of it angered him so much that it put friction on their strong bond as twin siblings. He eventually came to accept his sister's decision and even considers the Vision as family despite the latter's dissolved marriage and current estranged relationship with Wanda.
* Pietro's relationship with Magneto has changed various times throughout his publication history, but has always remained conflicted. He and his sister were at first disdainful and later adversarial to Magneto due to his treatment of them before and after knowledge of their blood ties were discovered, but it was the Mutant's radical actions and terrorist activities that repulsed the twins. Even when Magneto withdrew from his violent activities and became the ruler of Genosha, an island and nation composed of mutants, Pietro only assisted him and attempted to improve his relationship with the now mutant ruler to distance himself from his own unforgiving nature. While their relationship improved, it was ultimately decimated after Magneto made no attempt to plea with Avengers and X-Men to spare Wanda on behalf of the consequences of her mental breakdown, or at the very least, to request more time to search for a cure for her condition.
* While Pietro does not always remain with the Avengers for extended periods of time like his sister, the team has always meant a lot to him. He loves many of the founding and returning members as family and loves being an Avenger more than he will ever admit.
* According to the High Evolutionary, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch "masquerade" as mutants, implying they are not.
* Quicksilver has vowed that he and the Scarlet Witch will outlive every other member of the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Ever since the formation of the Five, this seems unlikely since every mutant has the potential for immortality.
* Pietro attempted to become famous on Instagram.
