Whilst in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, both Toad and Mastermind would often play for Scarlet Witch's feelings, and so Quicksilver would stand between her and them. Wanda was more compliant, feeling indebted to Magneto, but was deeply unhappy and often shocked by Magneto’s callous behavior. Pietro always made his disapproval known and repeatedly stated that he stayed only for his sister’s sake. Magneto played on their fear of outsiders and Wanda’s gratitude, but neither twin was comfortable as a terrorist. Despite his best efforts, Wanda and Pietro were trapped until rescued by Magneto.įeeling that they owed him a debt, they reluctantly joined the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants. One day Wanda accidentally set a house on fire, spurring the locals to attack the twins. Orphaned, the twins wandered Eastern Europe, constantly on the move as Wanda’s uncontrollable hex powers would draw suspicion from the people around them. Using his new found powers, Pietro was able to rescue Wanda.

Poor but loved, the twins enjoyed a relatively happy childhood until their family was killed by local villagers angered at Django for stealing food. He did not accept them, but thought that they were his children. Whilst at Wundagore Mountain, they were also offered for adoption to the Whizzer when his wife died. Given her weakened state following delivery, it is assumed that she perished. She then immediately fled into a raging blizzard and was never seen or heard from again. She appeared at the house of Bova, the midwife to the High Evolutionary, heavily pregnant and stayed for a few weeks until she gave birth.

In fact, they were born on Wundagore Mountain to a woman only known as Magda, a woman on the run from her husband who had "become a monster". They did not know that they had been adopted. Pietro and his twin sister Wanda (Scarlet Witch) always assumed that they were the children of the gypsy couple that raised them, Django and Marya Maximoff.
