History

Pietro was born at Wundagore, in Transia, Europe, to Magnus and Magda, and was a Mutant. His sister Wanda was born there as well, though a human.

Quicksilver, the son of Magneto and heir to his legacy, played a key role during the darkest period of the Mutant-Human War. With S.H.I.E.L.D. actively intercepting all mutant communications, Pietro risked his life repeatedly by acting as a courier, relaying critical intelligence to mutant forces around the globe.

After Magneto emerged victorious, Pietro attended a celebratory dinner in Genosha alongside his sister Wanda and their half-sister Lorna. During this gathering, Magneto revealed his true relationship to them and offered each a place at his side to help govern the new mutant-led world. Though they initially rejected the invitation—Wanda being the only one to stay—they eventually returned, and together, the House of M was formed.

Magneto later encouraged his son to pursue a courtship with Ororo Munroe, the Queen of Kenya. While Pietro genuinely loved her, his attempts to win her heart were unsuccessful. Still, he remained steadfastly loyal to his father, even when Magneto treated him with emotional distance.

It was later revealed that Quicksilver—not Magneto—was responsible for the creation of the House of M reality. In a desperate effort to ease his sister’s suffering, Pietro convinced Wanda to use her powers to grant everyone their heart’s desire. When Magneto learned the truth, he struck Pietro down. In response, Wanda used her reality-warping powers once more—this time to resurrect her brother and change the world with the words "No more mutants," triggering the Decimation event.
