Powers and Stats[]
Tier: 8-C up to 5-B
Name: Pietro Maximoff, Quicksilver
Origin: Marvel Comics
Gender: Male
Age: Early 30s
Classification: Genetically Altered Human (Disguised as a Mutant by the High Evolutionary)
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Acrobatics, Martial Arts, Accelerated Development (Can completely master skills in seconds), Hacking (Reprogrammed security systems), Weapon Mastery (Can briefly hold against Black Knight), Regeneration (Low), Intangibility (Can vibrate fast enough to phase through doors), Water Walking, Self-Perception Manipulation (Can seemingly change how fast he is perceiving surroundings), Minor Sound Manipulation (Can easily create sonic booms) Durability Negation (with molecular acceleration/destabilization), Vibration and Air Manipulation (He can create miniature cyclones with sheer speed), Limited Time Travel and Flight (As shown here). Resistance to Toxins, Precognition and Limited Heat Manipulation (His molecules vibrate thus he isn't affected by friction and heat generated by his speed)
Attack Potency: Building level (Comparable to Captain America. Defeated Black Panther. Destroyed Ultron Captain America. Caused rifts in the ground while running when possessed by Chthon. Boiled large amounts of water while running. Caused shockwaves by running at 1500 m/s) up to Planet level (At Top Speed could harm Spider-man, Iron man, Doctor Strange, and the High Evolutionary who was capable of fighting Rouge) . His molecular acceleration/destabilization ignores conventional durability.
Speed: FTL before power-up (Could run faster than radio waves, outran the Ringmaster's hypnosis, grabbed Captain America's shield in a split microsecond, humiliated the Living Laser with ease). Massively FTL with Massively FTL+ reactions after power-up (Perceived the events around him in a picosecond while running), Infinite by removing his mental barriers (After his mental barriers where removed by Scarlet Witch and Synapse, he ran so fast that he became unstuck from time itself)
Lifting Strength: Class 1 (Can break chains. Pried open the metal panel of a robot )
Striking Strength: Building Class up to Planet level
Durability: Building level (Withstood a hit from Luminous)
Stamina: Superhuman (Pietro's metabolism is more than 15 times that of a normal human's, preventing lactic acid build-up and allowing long-distance physical activity along with increased threshold for fatigue.)
Range: Melee range
Standard Equipment: Friction resistant suit. Specialized goggles and hearing aid to help him see and hear while running
Intelligence: Gifted (After being trained in martial arts by Captain America, Quicksilver was later able to successfully counter his style. His processing speeds allow him to master skills very quickly, like becoming a sculptor in just a day, learning how to play a sonata in seconds, and read multiple books quickly. He's even able to reprogram security systems and analyze people's micro-expressions with his high-speed perception, telepaths often have difficulty using their abilities against him)
Weaknesses: Pietro struggles with episodes of mental illness, severe depression, and mental breakdowns, causing him to ruin his relationships through force and manipulation. His arrogance can leave him prone to attack (such as when he paused to gloat over the Ultron drone he defeated) and some of his movement patterns are predictable. He also seems to be incapable of running in the dark.
