Ultimate Quicksilver
Quicksilver, Pietro Lensherr, is the unwanted and unloved son of Magneto. He left the Brotherhood of Mutants with his sister Wanda, joining the X-Men. They joined the Black Ops division for S.H.I.E.L.D. and eventually became part of the Ultimates until his betrayal. Quicksilver is small-minded, petty, and emotionally damaged. Eventually, he wins Magneto’s approval. Quicksilver possesses enhanced running speed, twitch reflexes, and perception of time. He has various speed-related secondary powers such as impressive durability regarding friction or an enhanced metabolism. He has no real formal training.
