Personal preference will dictate which one looks better, but the big question is who is faster than the other? Are they equally powerful, or does one have an edge over the other? It’s almost like an aura surrounds him as he runs, producing a glistening trail effect. That will apparently be very different from what’s in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, as from what little footage we’ve seen of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver, when he runs extremely fast there is a blue blur following him. To draw comparison with a fellow mutant, it looked almost exactly the same as Callisto’s speed in X-Men: The Last Stand.

the brief burst of wind while they suddenly move from one place to another. Other than that great slow-motion sequence, X-Men: Days of Future Past’s Quicksilver’s was mostly the standard 'whooshing' effect that we’ve seen in other superhero projects, i.e. Quicksilver is the most well-known speedster in the Marvel universe, but when it comes to the two cinematic Quicksilvers, their powers will be represented differently from a visual standpoint. Everyone will have their own opinions about which costume is more appealing, but X-Men’s Quicksilver certainly lives up to the ‘silver’ part of his name more than his MCU counterpart. The color scheme is reminiscent of what he wears in the comics, but it’s basically what looks like a breathable running shirt worn with a pair of jeans (although that’s not to say that he won’t eventually get an actual superhero costume like the other Avengers). The Avengers: Age of Ultron Quicksilver’s costume, however, looks much more low-key. There was a lot of criticism directed at his clothing, though in the end that had no bearing on the heaps of praise he earned. For X-Men: Days of Future Past, Peter Maximoff wore a shiny silver jacket, a 70s-style fat belt with his music player attached and goggles - which came in handy while running fast through the food stuffs in the Pentagon kitchen. It’s important that both studios established a unique look for their individual Quicksilvers to distinguish them from their competitor. Both have one thing in common with their personalities, though: their speed makes extremely impatient. In fact, as the breakout character of the film, he provided the most laughs, especially during that slow-motion Pentagon sequence.

He has his own set of issues, but he’s not dealing with issues anywhere near as serious as his Avengers: Age of Ultron counterpart seems to be. Aside from stealing everything from street signs to a Pong machine, he never caused any real harm. The X-Men Quicksilver, on the other hand, was much more a light-hearted prankster. Having lost his parents and lived a tough life with his sister, Pietro Maximoff has been described as having 'real anger frustration.' When we meet the Avengers Quicksilver, he’ll have quite a big chip on his shoulder…okay, several chips. This category is a bit tougher to judge considering that we haven’t seen any footage of the Avengers Quicksilver talking just yet – but both footage and interviews with Aaron Taylor Johnson have suggested that this latest adaptation of the character will have a very different kind of personality. In the text, both Quicksilver and his sister hail from the fictional Eastern European country Transia, and while the exact origins of their MCU counterparts have not yet been revealed, it has been confirmed that they will be from that region. That script will be very much changed in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which is taking greater inspiration from the comics in its approach to the Pietro Maximoff character. In X-Men: Days of Future Past, Quicksilver is living in the United States, and aside from that off-hand comment to Magneto about his mother previously dating a guy who could control metal, there’s no hint of his ancestry being anything but American (if Magneto is his father, though, that means that he’s part Polish). While seemingly trivial in comparison to some of the more emotional and physical aspects about Quicksilver featured in both the X-Men universe and the MCU, where each one’s version of the character is from is actually a noteworthy difference.
