Bio:
Pietro Maximoff along with his twin sister the Scarlet Witch are the offspring of Magneto. Magneto does not know of their existence while they are being raised. The story of their birth is a little weird. It involves the twins being born amongst the New Men of Wundagore mountain who are basically part animal and part human people. They hide the twins with a family called the Maximoffs. There is also a demon that has a presence near Wundagore mountain and he gives the Scarlet Witch magical powers. Both twins also develop mutant powers. Quick Silver develops super speed and Scarlet Witch gains the mutant power of hexing (altering probability). While, they do not know their father, they end up joining his group the evil brotherhood of mutants.
