Quote1 Pietro... the scepter's power has unlocked within him a speed matched only by his fury. Quote2
Doctor List[src]

History

Orphaned at the age of 10 when a shell destroyed the roof of their apartment, Pietro and his sister Wanda were eventually experimented upon by the forces of Hydra. After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Doctor List and Baron Strucker worked on getting Strucker's base operational, moving Pietro to a containment cell.[1]

Age of Ultron[]

Attack on the Hydra Base[]

During the Avengers' attack on the base, the two took on the Avengers themselves, Pietro attacking Hawkeye and injuring him in the process. As Hydra lost the battle, Wanda allowed Stark to take the scepter, as Wanda had a vision that Tony would use the scepter to cause trouble for the Avengers. Pietro and Wanda then escaped and avoided capture.

Alliance with Ultron[]

Wanda was ultimately correct, as Stark used the scepter to complete his global peacekeeping artificial intelligence, Ultron. After Ultron immediately turned on the Avengers and escaped from Stark Tower through the internet, he downloaded himself into a new body (made from Strucker's work with robotics), and then reached out to Pietro and Wanda. They met at a church in Sokovia, from where Ultron led them to his base of operations and asked them for help at defeating the Avengers.

Anger Management[]

Wanda and Pietro then aided Ultron in taking vibranium from the black market dealer Ulysses Klaue. The Avengers confronted Ultron and the twins, which prompted a fight between the parties. Wanda used her mind control powers to take out the whole team and set the Hulk on a rampage throughout Johannesburg.

Pietro and Wanda accompanied Ultron to Dr. Helen Cho's lab, where he intended to force Dr. Cho to build his new body by using the stolen vibranium. While Ultron's new body was being built, Wanda's power gave her a vision of Ultron's true endgame: to extinguish humanity. She and Pietro rebelled against Ultron and released Dr. Cho from the robot's mind control. When the Avengers attempted to steal Ultron's new body, Pietro helped Captain America and his sister deal with a runaway train in Seoul, which earned them Captain America's trust.

The Avengers[]

Pietro, accompanied by Wanda and Captain America, went to Avengers Tower just as Stark and Bruce Banner were about to activate Ultron's next body, but with J.A.R.V.I.S.'s A.I. mixed in it. Pietro prevented the initial download from happening, but Thor then blasted the body with lightning, activating it so that all present witnessed the birth of the Vision.

Pietro and Wanda decided to help the Avengers against Ultron's final plan to use Sokovia as a meteor that would wipe out the Earth. While Sokovia was being lifted by Ultron, Pietro helped the Avengers battle Ultron's drone army. When Nick Fury arrived with a helicarrier to help the people of Sokovia get out safely, Pietro acknowledged that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true purpose was something that he could approve of, then used his speed to help evacuate several of the remaining civilians to the S.H.I.E.L.D. "lifeboats".

When Ultron stole a Quinjet, he opened fire on the Avengers with its machine-guns. Although most of the Avengers were able to reach cover themselves or were naturally bulletproof, Pietro sacrificed himself to push Hawkeye and a pig to safety behind a ice cream truck, fainted from the cold in the process.[1]

Pietro's current whereabouts are unknown.
