X-Men Quicksilver 1:10 Scale Statue

Son of a gypsy couple, Pietro Maximoff was born in Serbia but was taken to Wundagore Mountain, in the Transia Mountains, a fictional country in Eastern Europe, along with his twin sister Wanda (the Scarlet Witch), and both were kidnapped as a baby by the geneticist High Evolutionary, who subjected them to genetic experiments that gave them special powers. His powers originally allowed him to move at the speed of sound, but, as time went by, his superhuman gifts were improved, and today the full extent of his abilities is unknown.

Pietro and Wanda always believed that they were born mutants. They were rescued by Magneto and joined his Brotherhood of Mutants, where he got the code name Quicksilver. After disconnecting from the terrorist group of mutants, both sought refuge and redemption in the Avengers, where they were welcomed by Captain America and incorporated into a new team. For years he believed that he was Magneto's son, but he discovered his origins by facing the High Evolutionary. Although he is an ally of the X-Men and has acted as a member of groups such as the X-Factor and the Inhumans, Pietro never completely detached himself from his heroic roots as an avenger, eventually returning to the team.
