Quicksilver, also known as Pietro Maximoff, is a Marvel Comics superhero who possesses the ability to move at superhuman speeds. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in X-Men #4 in 1964. Quicksilver's powers are a result of his mutated physiology, which allows him to move at incredible speeds, run across water and up walls, and even create afterimages of himself. His reflexes and reaction times are also enhanced, making him incredibly difficult to hit in combat. In addition to his speed, Quicksilver is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained by his father, Magneto, in martial arts and strategy. Quicksilver's history in the Marvel Universe is complex and has evolved over time. He and his twin sister, Scarlet Witch, were initially introduced as members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, led by their father Magneto. However, they later defected and joined the Avengers, where they became important members of the team. Quicksilver has also had numerous solo adventures, where he has faced off against some of the most dangerous villains in the Marvel Universe. His speed and agility have allowed him to take on opponents much stronger than himself, and his tactical intelligence has allowed him to outmaneuver even the most cunning of foes. In addition to his comic book appearances, Quicksilver has also appeared in multiple adaptations in other media, including the X-Men and Avengers films. He remains a beloved and iconic character in the Marvel Universe, known for his lightning-fast speed and unwavering determination.
Beerus, also known as Bills in some translations, is a pivotal character in the "Dragon Ball" series, introduced as the God of Destruction for Universe 7.
