Quicksilver (Marvel Comics)

Rare card · No. 34457

Quicksilver is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by artist Jack Kirby and writer Stan Lee, the character first appeared in The X-Men #4 (cover dated March 1964). Introduced as an antagonist in Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants alongside his twin sister, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver later reformed and joined the Avengers beginning with The Avengers #16 (May 1965), becoming part of the team's second generation. Quicksilver is the superhero persona of Pietro Maximoff, a Romani speedster capable of moving and thinking at extreme speeds. Long portrayed as the mutant son of Magneto, he was formerly married to Crystal of the Inhuman Royal Family, with whom he has a daughter, Luna. A later retcon established that he and his sister were not Magneto's children or mutants, but ordinary children artificially empowered by the High Evolutionary. Pietro and Wanda have been listed as among the most visible Romani characters in mainstream superhero comics...
