Brief bio: Pietro and his twin sister, Wanda, were raised by Django and Marya Maximoff, a gypsy couple. As adolescents Pietro and his sister Wanda discovered that they had peculiar talents. When Django began to steal food to feed his starving family, enraged villagers attacked the gypsy camp. Using his phenomenal speed, Pietro fled from the camp with his sister. Over the next few years, Wanda and Pietro wandered central Europe, living off the land. One day, Wanda accidentally caused a house to burst into flames with her uncontrollable hex powers and the pair was chased by superstitious townspeople. Despite Pietro's attempt to defend her, the twins were soon overpowered and were rescued by Magneto. Unwilling, but believing they owed him a debt, the twins became members of Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants as Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. For months they served under Magneto. When the extraterrestrial Stranger transported Magneto from Earth, the siblings had nowhere else to go. They learned the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. were seeking new members, so Quicksilver attempted to convince his sister to leave for America and join the hero team, but she wanted to stay. The divergence that Quicksilver felt still made him want to leave, but he won't allow anyone to harm his sister. So, he left his sister behind. Alongside Captain America and Hawkeye, he remained with the teams for a while. This is where he currently lies in his life. He does not appear to know the current whereabouts of Magneto, be he is aware that Magneto is his father. He has mixed feelings on the subject. He is extremely protective of his sister, Scarlet Witch. Mess with her and you won't see him coming. He perceives everyone as moving in slow motion, so he may tend to get impatient from time to time. He has been quoted by saying, "Have you ever had a day where you are at the ATM and you are in a hurry because you're running late but the person in front of you doesn't know how to use the ATM and they're taking forever? Now imagine what it must be like to spend every day surrounded by people who don't know how to use the ATM." Bio has been slightly modified.
