Quicksilver first appears in ''[[Uncanny X-Men|X-Men]]'' #4 (March 1964) and was created by writer [[Stan Lee]] and artist/co-writer [[Jack Kirby]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Brown|first=Jonathan Rikard |title=X-Factor vs. X-Factor: A Look at the Role of Identity in Peter David's X-Factor |journal=[[Back Issue!]]|issue=#65|pages=73–78 |publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]]| date=July 2013|location=Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref> The character initially appears as an antagonist to the X-Men, although before long he becomes a member of the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] and appears as a regular character in that title beginning with ''The Avengers'' #16 in May 1965. He has made numerous other appearances in that title, and other related titles, sometimes as a member of the team, sometimes as an ally, and sometimes as an antagonist.

From 1991 to 1993 Quicksilver was a regular character in the first volume of ''[[X-Factor (comics)|X-Factor]]''. The series emphasized the character's irritability and arrogance, which writer [[Peter David]] felt were a natural consequence of his powers, explaining: 
{{blockquote|Have you ever stood in the [[post office]] behind a woman with 20 packages who wants to know every single way she can send them to Africa? It drives you nuts! You think to yourself, "Why do I have to put up with this? These people are so slow, they're costing me time, and it's so damned irritating. I wish I didn't have to put up with this." Now—imagine that the ''entire world'' was like that... except for you. ... to Quicksilver, as he said in an issue of ''[[Amazing Spider-Man]]'' many, many moons ago, the rest of the world is moving in slow motion. That must really, really get on your nerves. Quicksilver lives in a world filled with people who don't know how to use [[cash machine]]s, and want to know all the ways to send packages to Africa, and can never get your order right in a [[Burger King]] unless you repeat it several times. That would tend to make you feel very superior to everyone and very impatient with everyone.<ref>{{cite news | last = O'Neill | first = Patrick Daniel | date = February 1992 | title = Peter David | work = [[Comics Interview]] | issue = #105 | page = 20 | publisher = [[Fictioneer Books]]}}</ref>}}

Quicksilver also starred in ''Quicksilver'', a regular ongoing eponymous series that began in November 1997 and ran for 13 issues.

The character also played a pivotal role in the ''[[House of M]]'' and ''[[Avengers: The Children's Crusade]]''.

Quicksilver appeared as a supporting character in ''[[Avengers Academy]]'' from issue #1 (August 2010) through its final issue #39 (January 2013). He appears as one of the members of ''All-New [[X-Factor (comics)|X-Factor]]'', which was launched in 2014 as part of the second [[Marvel NOW!]] wave.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=48406 |title=NYCC EXCLUSIVE: David Resurrects the Team in "All-New X-Factor" |website=Comic Book Resources |date=2013-10-11 |access-date=2013-10-31}}</ref> Writer [[Peter David]]'s handling of the character in that book earned the character a 2014 @ssie award from [[Ain't It Cool News]]. 
AICN's Matt Adler commented that David writes the character best and that the "arrogant, impatient speedster" made the title worth following.<ref>[http://newsle.com/article/0/129185144/ "AICN COMICS 10th Annual @$$IE AWARDS Day Five: Best Crossover/Event!

==Fictional character biography==
Pietro and his twin sister, [[Scarlet Witch|Wanda]], were raised by Django and Marya Maximoff, a [[Romani people|Romani]] couple. As adolescents, Pietro Django Maximoff 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 Roma camp. Using his phenomenal speed, Pietro fled from the camp with his sister. The traumatic separation from their family erased almost all of Wanda and Pietro's childhood memories, with only vague recollections resurfacing in adulthood. Over the next few years, Wanda and Pietro wandered Central Europe, living off the land.

===All-New, All-Different Marvel===
When the [[Civil War II|second superhero Civil War]] began, Pietro came to ask Wanda for help, but Wanda refused, because she and Pietro disagreed on which side was right - Pietro not liking the idea of profiling people based on what they might do and Wanda feeling that thinking about the future would have prevented many of their more dangerous mistakes in the past - past precedent made Wanda feel that introducing her powers to a conflict of this nature could be more dangerous than the existing situation, and she resented Pietro still trying to tell her what to do as though she was a child, bluntly informing him that his refusal to learn from his mistakes marked him as a sociopath. Wanda reveals to him that she is seeking answers about their true biological mother, Natalya Maximoff (who gave the twins to her relatives Marya and Django to spare them from a difficult life) and asks him to join her. He refuses and the two fight, although Wanda bests Quicksilver and tells him she never wants to see him again.<ref>''Scarlet Witch'' vol. 2 #9. Marvel Comics.</ref> Natalya's spirit later summons Pietro during their final battle against a physical manifestation of Chaos. The twins reconcile after destroying the monster and Pietro is briefly able to meet his mother before she sacrifices herself to save witchcraft.<ref>''Scarlet Witch'' vol. 2 #14. Marvel Comics.</ref> He has also been revealed to have fallen under the telepathic control of the [[Red Skull]], acting as a 'sleeper agent' in the Avengers as part of the Skull's current campaign.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=October 2016}}

==Powers and abilities==
Quicksilver was presented as a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] capable of moving and thinking at superhuman speeds. At times Quicksilver has even been capable of running past the [[speed of light]],<ref>'' Avengers '' #690. Marvel Comics.</ref> exposure to the [[High Evolutionary]]'s Isotope E made it possible for the character to run at [[Supersonic|supersonic speeds]] of up to [[Mach number|Mach]] 10 and resist the effects of [[friction]], reduced [[oxygen]], and [[kinetic energy|kinetic]] impact while moving at super-speeds.<ref name="OHotMUV2#10"/><ref>''Avengers vs. X-Men'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> Also, he has a fast metabolism and can heal more rapidly than the average human.<ref name="OHotMUV2#10"/> His speed allows him to perform such feats as creating [[cyclone]]-strength winds and running up walls or across bodies of water.<ref name="OHotMUV2#10">''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'' Vol 2 #10. Marvel Comics.</ref><ref>''Avengers'' Vol 3 #40. Marvel Comics.</ref> Pietro's mind can perceive information with a [[Eidetic memory|photographic memory]] short term, becoming faster than the [[Action potential|speed of thought]], because he can shift his thoughts at a speed faster than normal thought.<ref name="OHotMUAtZ9">''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z'' #9. Marvel Comics.</ref> Also, he can cause vibrations in his body to transfer to solid material and has superior agility and reflexes compared to other mutants.<ref name="OHotMUAtZ9"/><ref name="XF#1"/> It has been revealed that one of the reasons for his abrasive and impatient personality is that it seems to him that the rest of the world is moving in slow motion and that he is constantly waiting for it to catch up. As he once explained, "Have you ever stood in line at a banking machine behind a person who didn't know how to use it?... Now, imagine, Doctor, that everyone you work with, everywhere you go, your entire world is filled with people who can't work cash machines".<ref>''X-Factor'' #87: "The X-Amination". Marvel Comics.</ref>

Quicksilver lost his powers of speed when his sister removed most of his powers, but he gains new powers courtesy of the inhumans' [[Terrigen Mist]]. The mist gives Quicksilver the ability to displace himself out of mainstream time and space and "jump" into the future. He can summon several time-displaced duplicates of himself and appear to teleport by "jumping" into the future and then returning to the present at a new location.<ref>''Son of M'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref><ref>''Son of M'' #6. Marvel Comics.</ref><ref name="SoM#1t6XF#20"/> By voluntarily embedding fragments of the Terrigen Crystals into his own body, he could empower former mutants with extreme versions of their superhuman abilities.<ref name="XFV3#7">''X-Factor'' Vol 3 #7. Marvel Comics.</ref> However, the effect was usually fatal.<ref name="XFV3#7"/><ref>''X-Factor'' Vol 3 #11. Marvel Comics.</ref><ref name="SoM#1t6XF#20"/> The crystals were subsequently forced from his body by the mutant [[Rictor]], leaving him without these abilities. After having a series of hallucinations, Quicksilver saw a woman in mortal danger and felt a desire to be a hero which made him regain his original powers in order to save the woman's life.<ref name="XF#1">''X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> Later on, Quicksilver regained these enhanced powers of time "jumping" and temporal duplication for a while by physically imbedding the crystals into his flesh.<ref>''Silent War'' #3-4. Marvel Comics.</ref>

It was later revealed that Quicksilver actually was a normal child that was put through several experiments by the [[High Evolutionary]] which granted his powers in the first place.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

==== ''Avengers Origins: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver'' - 2011 ====
According to [[Diamond Comic Distributors]], ''Avengers Origins: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver'' #1 was the 148th best selling comic book in November 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Comichron: November 2011 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops |url=https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2011/2011-11.html |access-date=September 24, 2022 |website=www.comichron.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Top 300 Comics Actual--November 2011 |url=https://icv2.com/articles/comics/view/21712/top-300-comics-actual-november-2011 |access-date=September 24, 2022 |website=icv2.com |language=en}}</ref>

Peyton Hinckle of ''[[ComicsVerse]]'' said, "Origin stories make superheroes. They tell us about a character's motivations, dreams, and memories. They're the perfect insight into why a character becomes a hero (or a villain). As readers, we need origin stories to understand the heroes we love. For a long time, Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver had a half-formulated backstory. At first, they were just members of Magneto's brotherhood. But, eventually, they realized that they were also Magneto's children. The older comics don't give us an up-close look at Wanda's childhood, so in 2011 writer Sean McKeever tackled retelling Wanda and Pietro's story in a modern climate. The result was ''Avengers Origins: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver'', which finally gave readers the origin story they wanted. If you want to read about Scarlet Witch, but have no idea where to start, this is the issue for you."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hinckle |first=Peyton |date=December 31, 2018 |title=Marvel's Slice of Chaos Magic: A Scarlet Witch Essential Reading Guide |url=https://comicsverse.com/scarlet-witch-reading-guide/ |website=[[ComicsVerse]]}}</ref> George Marston of ''[[Newsarama]]'' ranked ''Avengers Origins: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver'' 6th in their "The best Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch stories of all time" list, asserting, "In comic books, Wanda and Pietro's time as villains was short-lived, and their prior history wasn't largely explored until years later, through glimpses and scattered stories. But 2011's ''Avengers Origins: Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver'' takes a deeper dive into the histories of the titular heroes, showing their past and the lead-up to their time with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in a way that wasn't previously told on the page. Wanda and Pietro's history is one of the most unlikely backbones of the Marvel Universe, with their simple origins growing from a throughline between the X-Men and Avengers to the saga of a family tree that has branches throughout Marvel Comics, and ''Avengers Origins: Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver'' presents a concise and engaging take on their earliest days."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marston |first=George |date=December 22, 2021 |title=The best Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch stories of all time |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/scarlet-witch-comics-wanda-maximoff-comic-books/ |access-date=September 3, 2022 |website=gamesradar |language=en}}</ref>

Joe Grunenwald of ''[[ComicsBeat]]'' asserted, "''Quicksilver: No Surrender'' #1 is an entertaining first issue about a complicated protagonist. This series spins out of the events of ''Avengers: No Surrender'', but is still perfectly accessible for new readers (like me), and only briefly mentions previous events before getting into its own story. It's a solid beginning for the series."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Alexander |date=May 16, 2018 |title=THE MARVEL RUNDOWN: Till Continuity do us Part: Our Thoughts on X-MEN: THE WEDDING SPECIAL #1! |url=https://www.comicsbeat.com/the-marvel-rundown-till-continuity-do-us-part-our-thoughts-on-x-men-the-wedding-special-1/ |access-date=November 15, 2022 |website=The Beat |language=en-US}}</ref> Joshua Davison of ''[[Bleeding Cool]]'' called ''Quicksilver: No Surrender'' #1 a "brilliant character-focused comic," saying, "''Quicksilver: No Surrender #1'' starts off on the right foot with a ponderous and self-reflective issue for Pietro Maximoff.

Ahmed writes Pietro near-flawlessly. The plot is also incredibly intriguing. I want to know how Pietro gets out of this mess. However, I wasn't a big fan of the art.

===Film===
Marvel licensed the filming rights of the [[X-Men]] and related concepts, such as [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutants]], to [[20th Century Fox]], who created a [[X-Men (film series)|film series]] based on the franchise. Years later, Marvel started their own film franchise, the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU), which focused on characters that they had not licensed to other studios, such as the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] (see below). As a result, Quicksilver and [[Scarlet Witch]] became part of a claims dispute between the two studios, with Fox citing the pair being mutants and children of [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]] and Marvel citing the pair's editorial history making them more closely associated with the Avengers rather than the X-Men. In time, the two studios came to an agreement, allowing each other to use the characters so long as Fox did not reference them as members of the Avengers and Marvel did not mention them as mutants or children of Magneto.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/why-quicksilver-is-in-x-men-and-avengers-2015-4|title=Why these two characters are allowed to appear in both the X-Men and Avengers movies|last=Acuna|first=Kirsten|date=April 30, 2015|work=Business Insider|access-date=April 27, 2016}}</ref> The arrangement became moot following the [[acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney]] - the parent company of [[Marvel Studios]], and the confirmation that future X-Men films will take place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<ref>{{cite web|first=Zack|last=Sharf|date=April 9, 2019 |title=Kevin Feige Says 'It Will Be a Very Long Time' Until the X-Men Join the Marvel Cinematic Universe|url= https://www.indiewire.com/2019/04/kevin-feige-long-time-x-men-marvel-cinematic-universe-1202057131/|work=[[IndieWire]]|access-date=September 10, 2020 }}</ref>
