BEFORE HIS AND HIS SISTERS BIRTH, PIETRO'S MOTHER FLED HER HUSBAND MAGNETO. TAKEN TO THE HIGH EVOLUTIONARY'S PALACE, PIETRO AND HIS TWIN SISTER WANDA WERE GIVEN TO GYPSIES WHO LOST THEIR CHILDREN IN THE WAR. WHEN WANDA'S POWERS MANIFESTED THEMSELVES AND SHE DESTROYED A HOUSE, MAGNETO RESCUED THEM. THE GREW UP AND BECAME MEMBERS OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS, WITH THE CODE NAMES QUICKSILVER AND SCARLET WITCH. THE EVENTUALLY LEFT AND JOINED THE AVENGERS. HE JOINED MAGNETO AGAIN, AND LEFT SOON AFTER FOR THE AVENGERS. AFTER BEING INJURED BY A SENTINEL, HE WAS TAKEN TO THE INHUMAN CRYSTAL, WITH WHOM HE FELL IN LOVE. HE JOINED THE INHUMAN ROYAL MILITIA, AND HE AND CRYSTAL HAD ONE CHILD, LUNA. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME, MAGNETO FOUND OUT THAT WANDA AND PIETRO WERE HIS CHILDREN, ALTHOUGH HE COULDN'T CONVINCE THEM TO REJOIN HIS CAUSE. PIETRO DROVE CRYSTAL TO ANOTHER MAN, PROMPTING HIM TO BECOME A TERRORIST. IT TURNED OUT THAT HE WAS BEING PERSUADED MENTALLY BY CRYSTAL'S COUSIN MAXIMUS. AFTER A FAILED RECONCILIATION, HE JOINED AVENGERS WEST COAST, AND AFTER CRYSTAL AND LUNA JOINED THE AVENGERS, HE JOINED THE GOVERNMENT X-FACTOR.* AFTER PIETRO SAVED HIS DAUGHTER FROM CORTEZ, HE AND CRYSTAL GOT BACK TOGETHER. AFTER SHE DIED IN THE ONSLAUGHT FREY, QUICKSILVER GREEVED AND JOINED THE KNIGHTS OF WUNDAGORE, A GROUP OF ANIMALS EVOLVED BY THE HIGH EVOLUTIONARY. BUT AFTER FRANKLIN RICHARDS BROUGHT THE HEROES BACK, PIETRO AND CRYSTAL WERE BACK TOGETHER AND HE WAS A RESERVE MEMBER OF THE AVENGERS.
*PIETRO JOINED X-FACTOR BECAUSE AN "EVIL INDIVIDUAL TURNED HIS POWERS AGAINST HIM, CAUSING HIM TO AGE EVERY TIME HE USED THEM. HE DEFEATED THE INDIVIDUAL, AND NOW HIS POWERS ARE BACK TO NORMAL.
