Quicksilver is the mutant son of Magneto, who has the ability to move at amazing speeds. In the Marvel Comics Universe, the character eventually joins The Avengers, with sister the Scarlet Witch.
Quicksilver’s appearance in the upcoming movie (produced by Fox) poses a possible threat to “The Avengers 2,” as both Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch will appear in the Joss Whedon movie (produced by Marvel Studios) – or possibly create fanboy dream crossover between the rival studios.
