History

Pietro Maximoff was the son of the genetic terrorist known as Magneto, and brother to the hex-casting Scarlet Witch.

Magneto and Professor Charles Xavier had discovered the Savage Land, a forgotten jungle. In this lost tropical world, the two men built a refuge for mutants seeking respite from persecution. But as time passed, their conflicting beliefs became a point of contention. Magneto felt that Homo superior represented the next step in human evolution, and that Homo sapiens should live under mutant rule. Xavier did not share his view. The tension grew, leading Magneto to expel Xavier -- with deadly force -- from the mutant haven they had created. Somehow, the Professor escaped with his life.

Eager to prove himself to Magneto since he was a child, Pietro offered to finish the job on at least one occasion. But when Magneto attacked Washington, D.C., with a fleet of reprogrammed Sentinel robots, it was Pietro who surreptitiously removed his father's thought-proof helmet -- enabling the telepathic Xavier to transform his one-time friend into a living super-magnet. Apparently, Quicksilver had grown tired of Magneto's constant criticism, ridicule and resentment.

Pietro and Wanda joined the Ultimates. Wanda eventually died and apparently during a mission with the Ultimates, Pietro decided to leave and disappeared. He later resuraced during Scott Summers' mutant rights speech. Pietro assassinated him by lodging a bullet into his skull. Pietro later talked to Wanda (presumably), holding his father's helmet stating he would carry on Magneto's legacy.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Able to think and move at extreme speeds. His entire body has adapted to the rigors of high-speed running, and his cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many times more efficient than those of a normal human being. His body can somehow resist the immense friction generated by high speed movement to a degree unmatched even by other Ultimate Marvel speedsters. Quicksilver has stated he can run at speeds up to Mach 10 even as a teenager. The longer he runs the more momentum he gains and the faster he becomes. He is so fast, that he was able to casually reach speeds near light.[1]

Strength level

Quicksilver's Upper body possesses strength of a human who engages in moderate excercise , however his lower body possesses enhanced strength.
