Species: Enhanced human
Age: 26

Arrival Condition: Pietro’s a little disheveled and dirty from all the fighting he just rolled out of. He has a bullet hole on his left arm, which should be easily fixed with a first-aid kit and some bandaging.

History: Here’s the wiki page!

Personality: Out of the Maximoff twins, Pietro is the impatient one. This is likely to his powers of superhuman speed and enhanced perception of the world, but it does feed in to how he interacts with the world. He is not one to have lengthy conversations and sit about debating something; he rather just do something about it, even if it's more just being impulsive than anything else.

The rush of adrenaline can leave anyone feeling some kind of way, and for Pietro it does push towards a more cocky and arrogant personality. He deems himself untouchable (with good reason), so it’s not surprising that he would give off this kind of attitude. He is also very playful when found in the right mood, always up for a challenge, and happy to flirt with women (though not exactly looking forward to the commitment that comes with a relationship).

In that same vein, Pietro is quite tenacious. He has a flair for keeping on despite whatever hurdles he may face. He is not the strongest of individuals—if compared to the likes of Thor and Captain America—and yet this is not reason for him to not throw himself into the fray during a fight. Likewise, if something doesn’t work out, he tries to find other ways around it. Take his angry and rebellious streak during the riots in Sokovia; that wasn’t enough to help solve the problem his country and people were going through, so another way had to be sought out, even if it meant going along with HYDRA to get himself and his sister experimented on.

Knowing all this, is it any surprise that he is quick to anger? Pietro’s impatience is one thing, but when it comes to threats or hurt being rained upon those he cares about (namely his sister), he grows upset and jumps into the more violent solutions. When Wanda was hurt by Hawkeye’s arrow, Pietro very quickly commented that he was going to go back and kill the man for it—and he would have, had Wanda not grounded him on their ‘mission’ and reassured him (several times) that she was okay. It is easy for him to lose sight of what’s important, making him rather emotionally-driven at times.

Despite this rather negative picture of what he is like, Pietro is still someone who has a deep care for others (not just his sister!) and proves himself to be very compassionate. Although not the most honest of ways to go about this, Pietro uses his powers to get food and other trinkets to help and cheer up the people of Sokovia. To him, there is nothing more important than his family, his people, and his country. When push comes to shove, he is willing to put himself in the line of fire (literally) to protect others, and he also knows when to put his pride aside to do the right thing. Joining the Avengers to help them defeat Ultron despite his and his sister’s initial antagonistic role shows that he will always stand up for what is right.

Though Pietro is the oldest of the twins, his personality may leave some people thinking he's the youngest. He'll grumble and complain about not being listened to, even talk back when he thinks something isn't going to work, but he will always respect the wishes of others. Stubborn and brave, he's definitely got a heart of gold.

Abilities: 
  • SUPERHUMAN SPEED Pietro can run at extremely high speeds, but this also includes being able to think, act, move, and perceive things at a faster rate than normal people would. When engaging his superhuman speed, the world moves as if in slow motion for him.
  • EXTREME FORCE GENERATION Because of how quickly Pietro moves, he ends up creating an extreme amount of force. This means that anything he strikes, impacts, or collides against will receive the full-force of enhanced momentum, managing to do more damage in this state than if he would attack while moving normally. Physics! etc.
  • INCREASED METABOLISM Having an increased metabolism means that he is less likely to be stunned by attacks or injuries, recovering from the pain rather quickly.
  • IMPROVED THERMAL HOMEOSTASIS While moving at such fast speeds, Pietro is susceptible to the effects of friction and temperature; an improved thermal homeostasis basically means that his body temperature, fluid balance, etc. work in perfect harmony to counter any issues caused by his superhuman speed.
  • ACCELERATED PERCEPTION Given that he gets to see the world in slow motion, Pietro has an augmented reaction time which lets him react in time to danger and events much faster than a normal human. It’s no spidey-senses though, so he has to (finger guns) see it coming.
  • COMBATANT Pietro does not wield any weapons nor does he have any fancy fighting power. Instead, he does the best by using his body in any way possible (punches, kicks, shoving himself—) to land a hit while moving at high speed.


  • Personal Item: Just his wonderful self. :)
