It seems pretty silly to name this page Pietro Maximoff, which is not how anyone thinks of this character. It should get moved to Quicksilver (comics) or something like that. mhr
I removed info from the page, which seems way too detailed for an encyopedic entry on a fictional character, and also seems suspiciously like something lifted directly from a volume of Marvel Universe or something (and therefore a copyright violation). - mhr 02:30, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)
The page says hi guys
nothing about his personal history (not including the evo version). Does anyone who knows a lot about him want to add anything? DrBat 18:51, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
I'm editing the portions of the page that state that his speed is 175 mph, as he has broken the sound barrier several times. If you dispute this check the Marvel.com official website, and this happens in several Avengers issues. Thanos2099
I took the end of Son of M to indicate that Quicksilver sees his place in the future, having those Terrigen powers, not that he has them now. This is opposite what is said in the article currently. -- Chris Griswold 17:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I interpreted the end to be this: Quicksilver bathes himself in the mists for weeks. As a result, the crystals even become a part of his own physiology. Because of this prolonged exposure, he is able to jump incredibly far in the future, and he sees some sort of terrible destruction that further unhinges his mind. Moreover, as a by-product he now has the ability to restore the power of mutants, as in the case of the man on the street (who was actually the mutant known as Reaver) at the end of the story.
That's my reading of it, anyway. Anyone else have any ideas? - Bhissong 20:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
88.218.25.207 01:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC) quicksilver does not come back at the excact same place that he left, he comes back at the place we was while in the future (as explaned in son of m 2). I corrected the powers page.
Another thing : he states clearly that the future he can jump towards is the one that WILL happen, one that cannot be changed whatever one does. He tried to alter it, but always failed. 89.80.129.107 ( talk) 11:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
How does using present tense consistently more clearly differentiate between the past and the present-tense sections of a biographical document? I consider this to be counter-intuitive. If one finds oneself referring to the past here and then the present and then the past, even moreso. I look at the statement at the top of the main (bio) page and think that things have been dropped unside ip. Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I've tidied up some of the newly added PH, most notably by leading with dates and using present tense. Culled an image as presentation-wise it was too much, and trimmed a few sentences with some POV, unnecessary tidbits and no sources.

Asgardian and anonymous: Rather than endlessly reverting back and forth on this, how about a compromise? Since Quicksilver is generally well-known for his original superspeed power, why not include that in the infobox with the precursor "Formerly:"? -- GentlemanGhost 01:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
In his most recent appearance, X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead, Quicksilver seems to get his powers of speed back. It seems likely that this will be a permanent change, reverting him back to the speedster we all know and love. In light of this, should his infobox still state his 'former' abilities of time-travel, etc? These were temporary abilities he had for a very short time, and it seems misleading to keep them in the main infobox. Primal Zed ( talk) 14:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe cites Quicksilver as moving at 175mph, nothing like the speed of sound figure showin here. Is there a proper source for his moving at Mach 1? I've had an edit mentioning this reverted, not quite sure why. Nickpheas ( talk) 10:44, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
That makes sense. All depowered mutants on wikipedia have a description of the powers they had. Just because he has new powers doesn't make his decades of fictional history irrelevant.
Also, how does vibrating molecules get you time duplicates? Or get you back from the future? Isn't he just time traveling? Where's the citation on that? —Preceding

Quicksilver is a character of literature. His timeline is not nearly as important as the cultural impact of the literature of his appearances as a whole. Therefore, if you are arguing that everything except his most "recent appearances" is irrelevant, you seem to be confusing him with a real person (and even real people have history in their entries). Quicksilver has appeared in hundreds of comics using superspeed powers. That is relevant. It's what he is known for and what his name describes. Deleting a few sentences about the character's historical description (while other characters currently depowered -- Magneto, for instance, or Protigy -- retain desciptions of their historical character) is dubious, at best, and most likely clearly incorrect. The total impact of Quicksilver as a character in comic literature is decades as a speedster mutant, and not whatever happened to him over the last months. If anything should be shortened, therefore, it is the current status that may, in the end, be a blip in the character's total history. So stop deleting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.0.196.186 ( talk) 18:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Terms like "rubbish" is, perhaps, your replacement for reason? It doesn't overrule the major cultural impact of a the character if, say, Sherlock Holmes was once written early on as a user of cocaine, or if he was written late to be a crossdresser. Those might be interesting sidenotes but, as a character of literature, it's his total impact as a solver of mysteries that is most relevant, without regard to what came last. You would not delete his mystery solving because his last appearance is "most current" and, similarly, the orignal creater of Quicksilver, who is not the one constantly adapting him, made Quicksilver relevent by Wikipedia standards before the period you appear to be obsessing over. Your "what is CURRENT" is your obsession, not Wikipedias. Continue to delete that, as a comic character, Quicksilver is know as a speedster, and it will be replaced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.0.196.186 ( talk) 00:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, I don't see you deleting every scrap of information on Magneto's powers, because he has "most currently" become powerless in the comics. Remember, what is current must overshadow all, correct? Contradicting much?
Quicksilver's history is decades longer in literature than either Chamber or Jubilee. More importantly, you are not simply adding the most current, you are obsessing with deleting more of the past/most longstanding/most cultural impact information. Since your information is available in both versions, and your version deletes information, the personal playground label applies better to you.

OK...
So we had an uncredited, blurry mutant teathered to a cell... Adding anything based on that to this article is speculation at best, original research at worst.
Please, find a reliable, verifiable, secondary source that identifies the character as Quicksilver before adding it back in.

'In 2006, IGN named Quicksilver #23 on their list of "The Top 25 X-Men Of All Time" commenting that "Quicksilver was the shining example of a villain turned good."'
Will people please, please stop changing this. It is a quote. Quote's just don't get edited because time passes. Adding 'at the time' is not necessary and shouldn't be put in; of course the description is of the character in an earlier incarnation, it is from 2006.
If IGN made a comment that Wolverine was the best X-Man of 2010, then the quote won't be changed as time passes or if he quit, because the quote was made 2010.
If that was the case, then all of the introductory quotes on Magneto's claiming that Magneto is a villain should be changed to 'at the time', because he is now an X-Man. An example:
'Sir Ian McKellen portrayed Magneto throughout the entire X-Men film series. He was, at the time, ranked number 1 by IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Villains list, was listed number 17 in Wizard's Top 100 Greatest Villains Ever list, and was ranked as the 9th Greatest Comic Book Character Ever in Wizard's list of the 200 Greatest Comic Book Characters of All Time, the second highest villain at the time on that list.'
But, do we do that? No, because the quote was made at the time of his villainy, and as such remain. If Quicksilver has become a 'villain' then it does not change the fact that in 2006 IGN classed him as the 'shining example of a villain turned good', which was correct at the time and the quote shouldn’t be edited. 195.194.150.129 ( talk) 16:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Can 'someone' please stop removing all sourced and relevant detail in the Ultimate section? Every Ultimate Marvel character from Ultimate Nick Fury to Ultimate Captain America has a description of what part the character actually plays in the narrative. If you remove that, then what is the point of even having the section. Removing accurate, sourced, necessary information does not improve the article; it greatly hinders it. 195.194.150.129 ( talk) 16:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
'Quicksilver is eventually lured into a trap by the Earth-616 Machine Man and while destroyed[51] eventually returns.[52]'
This sentence is wrong. They are two completely different characters, however your sentence states that the same character later returns, however it is a completely different version of the character from another universe. This sentence is completely incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.150.129 ( talk) 09:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
There is a more information in the Ultimate section, but once again, the real detail belongs at the various Ultimate pages.
Also, note that we just list the dates for a series from start to finish, not an entire choppy sequence of starts and stops that unfortunately was the Ultimates series. I was the editor that originally sourced and placed those dates, and now realize it is not the correct way to list the series.

Said section is #3 in the contents, but #1&2 are so long that it appears halfway down the page. I've never heard of the character until I saw the recent theatrical x-men clip; preceding said section, little mention of the high magnitude of his abilities are given beyond the over-simplified notion of 'extreme speed'. In the case of the X-men, each character is largely defined by a single ability that should be a part of their relative introductions. One should either move the powers above the large blocks of vague-context history, or expand the introduction to greater explain what seems to be one of the most powerful characters in comics, despite their seemingly trivial role in the flexy rainbow they call their 'multiverse'.

The infobox refers to him as a "human mutate", but the page does not refer to this term anywhere else, and nor is there a citation for this distinction between "human mutant" and "human mutate."

If it isn't used in the 'box, what exactly is the cover of The Avengers #185 bringing to the article? It looks a heck of a lot like redundant decoration right now. - J Greb ( talk) 22:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

OK...
So we had an uncredited, blurry mutant teathered to a cell... Adding anything based on that to this article is speculation at best, original research at worst.
Please, find a reliable, verifiable, secondary source that identifies the character as Quicksilver before adding it back in.

'In 2006, IGN named Quicksilver #23 on their list of "The Top 25 X-Men Of All Time" commenting that "Quicksilver was the shining example of a villain turned good."'
Will people please, please stop changing this. It is a quote. Quote's just don't get edited because time passes. Adding 'at the time' is not necessary and shouldn't be put in; of course the description is of the character in an earlier incarnation, it is from 2006.
If IGN made a comment that Wolverine was the best X-Man of 2010, then the quote won't be changed as time passes or if he quit, because the quote was made 2010.
If that was the case, then all of the introductory quotes on Magneto's claiming that Magneto is a villain should be changed to 'at the time', because he is now an X-Man. An example:
'Sir Ian McKellen portrayed Magneto throughout the entire X-Men film series. He was, at the time, ranked number 1 by IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Villains list, was listed number 17 in Wizard's Top 100 Greatest Villains Ever list, and was ranked as the 9th Greatest Comic Book Character Ever in Wizard's list of the 200 Greatest Comic Book Characters of All Time, the second highest villain at the time on that list.'
But, do we do that? No, because the quote was made at the time of his villainy, and as such remain. If Quicksilver has become a 'villain' then it does not change the fact that in 2006 IGN classed him as the 'shining example of a villain turned good', which was correct at the time and the quote shouldn’t be edited. 195.194.150.129 ( talk) 16:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Can 'someone' please stop removing all sourced and relevant detail in the Ultimate section? Every Ultimate Marvel character from Ultimate Nick Fury to Ultimate Captain America has a description of what part the character actually plays in the narrative. If you remove that, then what is the point of even having the section. Removing accurate, sourced, necessary information does not improve the article; it greatly hinders it. 195.194.150.129 ( talk) 16:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
'Quicksilver is eventually lured into a trap by the Earth-616 Machine Man and while destroyed[51] eventually returns.[52]'
This sentence is wrong. They are two completely different characters, however your sentence states that the same character later returns, however it is a completely different version of the character from another universe. This sentence is completely incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.150.129 ( talk) 09:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
There is a more information in the Ultimate section, but once again, the real detail belongs at the various Ultimate pages.
Also, note that we just list the dates for a series from start to finish, not an entire choppy sequence of starts and stops that unfortunately was the Ultimates series. I was the editor that originally sourced and placed those dates, and now realize it is not the correct way to list the series.
Thank you. Asgardian ( talk) 04:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Both Magneto and the Scarlet Witch are indexed under "Jewish Superheroes". Shouldn't Quicksilver be, as well? 38.111.35.2 ( talk) 16:55, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Said section is #3 in the contents, but #1&2 are so long that it appears halfway down the page. I've never heard of the character until I saw the recent theatrical x-men clip; preceding said section, little mention of the high magnitude of his abilities are given beyond the over-simplified notion of 'extreme speed'. In the case of the X-men, each character is largely defined by a single ability that should be a part of their relative introductions. One should either move the powers above the large blocks of vague-context history, or expand the introduction to greater explain what seems to be one of the most powerful characters in comics, despite their seemingly trivial role in the flexy rainbow they call their 'multiverse'.

is Quicksilver part of the X-Men copyright? given his appearance in both movie and the copyright associated... who owns his character? can we have some legal information on him? 116.88.128.63 ( talk) 03:17, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

I think it should be Pietro Maximoff because it is his real name — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kravenger ( talk • contribs) 03:26, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
Is there a source for his being Serbian? As far as I can remember he was generally said to be from a made up Balkan microstate. Transia or something like that? Nickpheas ( talk) 18:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
The infobox refers to him as a "human mutate", but the page does not refer to this term anywhere else, and nor is there a citation for this distinction between "human mutant" and "human mutate." I'm going to remove this term in the hope that someone will restore it with a citation. Airbornemihir ( talk) 02:29, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
