Poor Pietro...
...cast in two different films...
...with two different actors...
...for two different studios.
Fox and Marvel Studios have come to a head over this guy, and I'm not even sure why.
'Cause he's kinda a jerk.
To be fair, he didn't now his real parents for over a decade in the books.
Even though he was a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants mutant along with his real father.
When he did got himself straightened out, he joined the Avengers...
...but that wasn't enough for him.
He had to go and fall in love with Crystal, an Inhuman, who happened to be an old flame of Johnny Storm...you know...Human Torch of Fantastic Four fame?
They even got married (Pietro and Crystal, not P and J) and lived with the Inhumans on the Moon.
They had a child together, a daughter named Luna, who in my mind is the first ever Mutant/Inhuman offspring in Marvel history.
Then things got worse...
...he went bats#!t crazy and left his family.
To be fair, it wasn't his fault.
It was Maximus - another Inhuman (and Crystal's brother-in-law) - who was behind the madness.
Of course, during Pietro's crazy-phase Crystal went and had an affair...which didn't help things at all, but that's beside the point.
Then Luna was kidnapped, and Pietro rescued her, and he fought alongside both X-Men and Avengers.
Then other stuff happened and he wound up fighting against the Fantastic Four, and with X-Factor...and then I stopped reading altogether.
Anyway, let's take a look at the Fox/Marvel Studios issue...
1) It's clear that Fox's Days of Future Past is dealing with an alternate time-line. Puck is in it...even though he won't be called Puck, so it's possible the "Quicksilver" character may wind up being another speedster...
2) Joss called him out first, so he's got dibs.
3) I really don't care if there's two Quicksilvers out there...as long as they're two different versions of Quicksilver out there.
4) Besides - if one keeps him Green and the other keeps him Blue, they're different characters anyways...right?
