3. According To Writer Peter David, Quicksilver’s Arrogance Is A Side-Effect Of His Power!
Peter David explained that Quicksilver is like that guy waiting in line behind the lady with 20 packages wanting to know each way to send them to Africa. Quicksilver is faster than every other being on Earth so naturally every being irritates him.
