It took everyone a while to accept her since she was originally a Russian spy.

The 4 rejects being 3 black men: a king, and 2 soliders, and the only woman who's also a super solider assassin? Yikes Pietro.

I was gonna say, Black Widow shade non nonwithstanding, in what world are Falcon and Black Panther rejects, even at this point in their comic book history? And yeah, Rhodey was a replacement at this point, but he was replacing Tony for VERY good reason at the time. Just a real bad look for Pietro, in every way possible.

At least Quicksilver can get things done with superspeed (but what he said was extremely out of pocket).

He ain't that fast look at most of his fights and tell me if he's fast enough

u/EuropeanT-Shirt 1d ago
Fights, I agree? Super speed will always be nerfed, but feats? He's got good ones showcasing his powers such as espionage, travel, gathering intel, extraction and deliverance, time travel, etc.
Dane does have a cool connection to the various Ebony blade, throne, and items, but Pietro has been way more useful and prominent in comics.

Characters like black panther spider man did more things and has way better feats quicksilver want to take shots at the avengers when he was the one to get shot by magneto talking about a deadbeat son

Oh I agree 100 percent, Pietro should not be talking at all, but I still love the little douchebag, but think out of the Black Knight and him, Pietro has way more standing.

I think this was during Pietro's "asshole" era.
Granted, that era started in 1964 and continues to this day.

Dane at least has the excuse of being driven mad by the Ebony Blade at that moment

Someone should've reminded Black Knight that "Good King Richard" was hardly a peach himself.

Natasha: "Oh no, I'm being insulted by Quicksilver and <checks notes> Black Knight, apparently? Whatever will I dooooo?"

I guess a russian spy/assassin just doesn't seem as impressive when standing next to a billionaire playboy philanthropist in a suit of armor, a gamma mutated rage monster, a scientist and his girlfriend who can both manipulate their stature at will, the literal Norse God of Thunder himself, a super-soldier from the 1940's, a sorceress, a speedster, or any other insanely powerful individuals... or Hawkeye.

Quicksilver has been an Avenger WITH Black Panther. Why the shade?!?!

Pietro is an asshole. A sometimes heroic, sometimes loveable asshole, but still an asshole.
