* CharacterDevelopment: ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' focuses primarily on his transition from a BrokenBird to gradually embracing the role of an AllLovingHero. As Simon Kinberg explains in the January 2014 issue of ''Total Film'':
-->"...very early on we made the decision that it was young Charles' arc, and that really the emotional story of the movie is watching him go from the guy who's lost his legs, lost his best friend, lost his sister, and in some ways lost his mind, to a guy who will become the all-powerful, benevolent Professor Xavier. [=McAvoy=] is really about as far as one can be from the Patrick Stewart that we know from ''X1'', and we're really watching him take the first big step towards owning that chair and being a leader."

** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': His idealism is [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-news-things-to-know/ ripped away from him again,]] but instead of breaking into pieces like he did in between ''First Class'' and ''Days of Future Past'', his experience with Apocalypse hardens him, resulting in a darker Professor X than in the original timeline.



** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Since this movie partly recycles his arc from ''First Class'', his radiant blue eyes are once more a symbol of him being too idealistic for his own good.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, he may be a world-class asshole and suffer from HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, but he is well-meaning at the core and can be counted on to do the right thing. Here, he's just a bored teenager with a kleptomaniac streak who doesn't really care about being a productive member of society and who has to have the breakout sold to him as an opportunity to raise hell, as it's clear that he probably wouldn't have done it of his own volition otherwise.

-->"I've gotten to explore Professor X when he was an older, bald, wise man, when he's insecure, when he's defenseless, when he's powerful. He's more of a Christ figure. He chooses to be a teacher. He could go inside Cerebro and rule the world, but he chooses not to. He chooses to teach and preach and hope that people follow his message: peace and unity. And I've gotten to see him as a drug addict and a loser, and in this movie, you're going to get to see him prosperous and almost blindly optimistic, and how he changes.

He even dresses cool by [[TheEighties '80s]] standards (his clothing is more casual than what he wore in the original trilogy and in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''), which makes it a little easier for the youngsters to relate to him because he puts in some effort in following current trends.

** He is very brave even as a child because when he suspects that a burglar has broken into his home, instead of alerting his parents or a servant, he grabs a baseball bat and approaches the intruder by himself.

As she cannot control this absorbing ability, Rogue can easily kill anyone, and thus is unable to be physically close to people.a member of the X-Men in the AlternateTimeline. He is the son of Magneto.



* SeventiesHair: His glam mop upset many fans in promotional materials, but it fits in with the era perfectly. Note the length and the silver sideburns.
* AdaptationNameChange: His real name is changed from "Pietro Maximoff" to the more Americanized "Peter Maximoff."
** Presumably, this is due to the fact that the film version of Quicksilver was raised in the U.S., while his comic counterpart grew up in Eastern Europe. A supplementary website, 25 Moments, still refers to him as Pietro and so does the Italian dub.
** There's also the fact that Quicksilver appears in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''--that one uses the name Pietro.
* AdaptationalNationality: The Eastern European Pietro Maximoff has been Americanized into Peter Maximoff.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In the comics, he is often an outright ''jerk'' (often intentionally), but in this film, he's more of a merry mischief-maker. He can easily flee on his own once the breakout goes bust, but instead, he goes out of his way to save Logan, Charles and Erik, even though he had already freed the latter from prison by technicality. Quicksilver is also clearly not impressed (if amused) by the idea that he helped free the person suspected of killing JFK once he finds out, [[spoiler:and is shown to be stunned (either in amazement or horror) by Magneto's "demonstration" in the climax]].
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Comic book Quicksilver was never a member of the X-Men, but his movie counterpart is.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, he may be a world-class asshole and suffer from HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, but he is well-meaning at the core and can be counted on to do the right thing. Here, he's just a bored teenager with a kleptomaniac streak who doesn't really care about being a productive member of society and who has to have the breakout sold to him as an opportunity to raise hell, as it's clear that he probably wouldn't have done it of his own volition otherwise.
* AgeLift: Is closer in age to Cyclops and Jean in the comics, but he's a decade older than them in the movie-verse.
* AllergicToRoutine: Because he experiences time much more slowly than everyone else, he gets bored very easily, so he treats life like it's one big game. He gets his thrills by stealing whatever catches his fancy, and Xavier observes that Peter is a kleptomaniac.
* AscendedExtra: He has a larger role in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* BasementDweller: He is around 27 years old in 1983, and he still lives in the basement of his mother's house.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Is seen playing with his little sister. He's even willing to sit down and watch television with her, which is heartwarming considering how hyperactive the guy is.
* BulletTime: He sees the world in slow motion when he runs.
* TheCharmer: While it's not strictly part of canon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8yzKzwmCdU this commercial]] depicts Quicksilver as a romantic suitor when he tries to woo a young woman with his super-speed. Since this ad was approved by the ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' producers, we can infer that it's part of his personality to court a lady with roses and candlelight.
* CivvieSpandex: He does not wear a costume in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', but instead has a "cool jacket" and a pair of goggles.
* CompositeCharacter: He looks and acts like his comic-counterpart's nephew, [[YoungAvengers Speed]], and even wears a similar pair of goggles.
* [[CoolShades Cool]] [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual Goggles]]: [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140523085102/marveldatabase/images/5/52/Peter_Maximoff_%28Earth-10005%29.jpg Yup]]. Used to overcome anything that can impair his sight while in super speed.
* DeadpanSnarker: Every line out of his mouth is a wisecrack.
* DeusExitMachina: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:he EASILY takes out the guards in Magneto's prison, and is faster than anybody, even two powerful mutants--and one with enhanced senses--can react. Combining him with Xavier in locating either Trask or Mystique would've wrapped the plot up in far shorter time and at least half the damage. So naturally, he's out of the story once the break-out scene is over, save for a cameo near the end. {{Justified}} in that he only worked with the mutants because of the opportunity to pull off the heist of a lifetime (and Charles probably didn't want to drag more young people into this war after what happened to his students).]]
* DisappearedDad: [[WordOfSaintPaul Michael Fassbender]] says that Quicksilver ''is'' Erik's son, and comments from him about his mother knowing a guy who could control metal hints that he was probably the result of a one-night stand or a brief fling. [[WordOfGod Simon Kinberg]] confirms their [[http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=108298 familial relation]].
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He dons the uniform (which conveniently fits him perfectly) of a Pentagon guard that he has BoundAndGagged so that he can reach Magneto's prison cell.
* FlashStep: A natural application of his mutant ability is to cross a room in a heartbeat.
* GadgeteerGenius: He mods a {{VideoGame/Pong}} arcade cabinet to run significantly faster than normal.
* GeneHunting: [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-quicksilver-storyline-evan-peters/ According to Evan Peters]], Quicksilver seeks out his father in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', and a [[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/What-X-Men-Apocalypse-CinemaCon-Footage-Showed-Got-Us-Really-Excited-124947.html [=CinemaCon=] trailer]] confirms that it's Magneto.
* GenkiGuy: Because of his accelerated perception of time, Quicksilver seems to get bored easily. Xavier calls him a pain in the ass because he refuses to stay still, running circles around his guests and generally amusing himself at their expense.
* HellBentForLeather:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's fond of his silver leather jacket.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He sports shiny black leather pants and has a grey leather jacket.
* ItAmusedMe: He helps the team just because he'll get to break into the most secure prison on Earth.
* LightningBruiser: So fast that time effectively stands still for him when he's moving, and hits with the kind of force that you'd expect from something moving at those high speeds.
* ManChild: At the age of 27, he still isn't an independent adult in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' because he continues to reside in his mother's basement, although his living space is a lot less cluttered than it was in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', which implies that his kleptomania has toned down in the past decade. He cracks a joke about his mother wanting him to get out of the house.
* MotorMouth: Talks as fast as he... does everything else. And good luck shutting him up.
* MundaneUtility: He uses his super speed to play ping pong with himself.
* MysticalWhiteHair: The superfast mutant has ''silver'' hair.
* PluckyComicRelief: He is the main source of comedy in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* PrettyBoy: He's baby-faced and cute in an impish way. It's a visual cue to the audience that he's an immature prankster who doesn't take life seriously.
* RefugeInAudacity: Blatantly uses his super speed when he first meets Beast, Wolverine, and Professor X because he knows no one would believe what they said about him. It's implied this is how he gets away with everything he does.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers:
** He has no problems moving at super-speeds himself (in fact, he's most comfortable that way as everything around him moves too slowly). However, when he runs Magneto past a hallway full of guards during their escape from the Pentagon, he specifically supports Erik's head and neck to protect him from whiplash during the sudden acceleration. After they reach their destination, Erik is visibly nauseous.
** He can also hit people harder with much less force; he barely touches the guards in SuperSpeed, and that causes blows hard enough to render them unconscious.
* StickyFingers: His basement is full of stolen goods such as several [=TVs=], a Pong arcade machine and an entire shelf of junk food. His mother, upon opening the door, assumes Wolverine and co. are cops and simply offers to cut a check for whatever he stole.
* StoryBreakerPower: He gets PutOnABus after the Pentagon raid because, as that raid shows, he is ''downright unstoppable''. While moving at SuperSpeed, simply tapping a person is the practical equivalent of getting hit by a heavyweight boxer, and he can take out an entire room of armed guards so quickly that their bullets weren't even able to reach the people they had shot at when he started.
* SweetTooth: He is seen eating an orange Popsicle and there are boxes of snack cakes that he stole. During the Pentagon raid, he takes a moment to taste a sauce that was flung airborne by Magneto.
* SuperSpeed: His superpower. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he has one scene where he does a TimeStop while Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" plays.
%% * TricksterArchetype
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: While he is fond of breaking the law, he's not a jerk like in the comics.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: He uses his super-speed for shits, giggles, and petty larceny.

* SeventiesHair: His glam mop upset many fans in promotional materials, but it fits in with the era perfectly. Note the length and the silver sideburns.
* AdaptationNameChange: His real name is changed from "Pietro Maximoff" to the more Americanized "Peter Maximoff."
** Presumably, this is due to the fact that the film version of Quicksilver was raised in the U.S., while his comic counterpart grew up in Eastern Europe. A supplementary website, 25 Moments, still refers to him as Pietro and so does the Italian dub.
** There's also the fact that Quicksilver appears in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''--that one uses the name Pietro.
* AdaptationalNationality: The Eastern European Pietro Maximoff has been Americanized into Peter Maximoff.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In the comics, he is often an outright ''jerk'' (often intentionally), but in this film, he's more of a merry mischief-maker. He can easily flee on his own once the breakout goes bust, but instead, he goes out of his way to save Logan, Charles and Erik, even though he had already freed the latter from prison by technicality. Quicksilver is also clearly not impressed (if amused) by the idea that he helped free the person suspected of killing JFK once he finds out, [[spoiler:and is shown to be stunned (either in amazement or horror) by Magneto's "demonstration" in the climax]].
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Comic book Quicksilver was never a member of the X-Men, but his movie counterpart is.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, he may be a world-class asshole and suffer from HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, but he is well-meaning at the core and can be counted on to do the right thing. Here, he's just a bored teenager with a kleptomaniac streak who doesn't really care about being a productive member of society and who has to have the breakout sold to him as an opportunity to raise hell, as it's clear that he probably wouldn't have done it of his own volition otherwise.
* AgeLift: Is closer in age to Cyclops and Jean in the comics, but he's a decade older than them in the movie-verse.
* AllergicToRoutine: Because he experiences time much more slowly than everyone else, he gets bored very easily, so he treats life like it's one big game. He gets his thrills by stealing whatever catches his fancy, and Xavier observes that Peter is a kleptomaniac.
* AscendedExtra: He has a larger role in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* BasementDweller: He is around 27 years old in 1983, and he still lives in the basement of his mother's house.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Is seen playing with his little sister. He's even willing to sit down and watch television with her, which is heartwarming considering how hyperactive the guy is.
* BulletTime: He sees the world in slow motion when he runs.
* TheCharmer: While it's not strictly part of canon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8yzKzwmCdU this commercial]] depicts Quicksilver as a romantic suitor when he tries to woo a young woman with his super-speed. Since this ad was approved by the ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' producers, we can infer that it's part of his personality to court a lady with roses and candlelight.
* CivvieSpandex: He does not wear a costume in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', but instead has a "cool jacket" and a pair of goggles.
* CompositeCharacter: He looks and acts like his comic-counterpart's nephew, [[YoungAvengers Speed]], and even wears a similar pair of goggles.
* [[CoolShades Cool]] [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual Goggles]]: [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140523085102/marveldatabase/images/5/52/Peter_Maximoff_%28Earth-10005%29.jpg Yup]]. Used to overcome anything that can impair his sight while in super speed.
* DeadpanSnarker: Every line out of his mouth is a wisecrack.
* DeusExitMachina: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:he EASILY takes out the guards in Magneto's prison, and is faster than anybody, even two powerful mutants--and one with enhanced senses--can react. Combining him with Xavier in locating either Trask or Mystique would've wrapped the plot up in far shorter time and at least half the damage. So naturally, he's out of the story once the break-out scene is over, save for a cameo near the end. {{Justified}} in that he only worked with the mutants because of the opportunity to pull off the heist of a lifetime (and Charles probably didn't want to drag more young people into this war after what happened to his students).]]
* DisappearedDad: [[WordOfSaintPaul Michael Fassbender]] says that Quicksilver ''is'' Erik's son, and comments from him about his mother knowing a guy who could control metal hints that he was probably the result of a one-night stand or a brief fling. [[WordOfGod Simon Kinberg]] confirms their [[http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=108298 familial relation]].
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He dons the uniform (which conveniently fits him perfectly) of a Pentagon guard that he has BoundAndGagged so that he can reach Magneto's prison cell.
* FlashStep: A natural application of his mutant ability is to cross a room in a heartbeat.
* GadgeteerGenius: He mods a {{VideoGame/Pong}} arcade cabinet to run significantly faster than normal.
* GeneHunting: [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-quicksilver-storyline-evan-peters/ According to Evan Peters]], Quicksilver seeks out his father in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', and a [[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/What-X-Men-Apocalypse-CinemaCon-Footage-Showed-Got-Us-Really-Excited-124947.html [=CinemaCon=] trailer]] confirms that it's Magneto.
* GenkiGuy: Because of his accelerated perception of time, Quicksilver seems to get bored easily. Xavier calls him a pain in the ass because he refuses to stay still, running circles around his guests and generally amusing himself at their expense.
* HellBentForLeather:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's fond of his silver leather jacket.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He sports shiny black leather pants and has a grey leather jacket.
* ItAmusedMe: He helps the team just because he'll get to break into the most secure prison on Earth.
* LightningBruiser: So fast that time effectively stands still for him when he's moving, and hits with the kind of force that you'd expect from something moving at those high speeds.
* ManChild: At the age of 27, he still isn't an independent adult in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' because he continues to reside in his mother's basement, although his living space is a lot less cluttered than it was in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', which implies that his kleptomania has toned down in the past decade. He cracks a joke about his mother wanting him to get out of the house.
* MotorMouth: Talks as fast as he... does everything else. And good luck shutting him up.
* MundaneUtility: He uses his super speed to play ping pong with himself.
* MysticalWhiteHair: The superfast mutant has ''silver'' hair.
* PluckyComicRelief: He is the main source of comedy in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* PrettyBoy: He's baby-faced and cute in an impish way. It's a visual cue to the audience that he's an immature prankster who doesn't take life seriously.
* RefugeInAudacity: Blatantly uses his super speed when he first meets Beast, Wolverine, and Professor X because he knows no one would believe what they said about him. It's implied this is how he gets away with everything he does.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers:
** He has no problems moving at super-speeds himself (in fact, he's most comfortable that way as everything around him moves too slowly). However, when he runs Magneto past a hallway full of guards during their escape from the Pentagon, he specifically supports Erik's head and neck to protect him from whiplash during the sudden acceleration. After they reach their destination, Erik is visibly nauseous.
** He can also hit people harder with much less force; he barely touches the guards in SuperSpeed, and that causes blows hard enough to render them unconscious.
* StickyFingers: His basement is full of stolen goods such as several [=TVs=], a Pong arcade machine and an entire shelf of junk food. His mother, upon opening the door, assumes Wolverine and co. are cops and simply offers to cut a check for whatever he stole.
* StoryBreakerPower: He gets PutOnABus after the Pentagon raid because, as that raid shows, he is ''downright unstoppable''. While moving at SuperSpeed, simply tapping a person is the practical equivalent of getting hit by a heavyweight boxer, and he can take out an entire room of armed guards so quickly that their bullets weren't even able to reach the people they had shot at when he started.
* SweetTooth: He is seen eating an orange Popsicle and there are boxes of snack cakes that he stole. During the Pentagon raid, he takes a moment to taste a sauce that was flung airborne by Magneto.
* SuperSpeed: His superpower. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he has one scene where he does a TimeStop while Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" plays.
%% * TricksterArchetype
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: While he is fond of breaking the law, he's not a jerk like in the comics.

* CooldownHug: He does this in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' to Erik to save his life when the latter almost drowns himself trying to lift Shaw's submarine for the first time.



** Considering that his and Erik's friendship only lasted a few months in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', it was unusually intimate on an emotional level.
** Played straight in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' with his older self and the elderly Magneto (the moment where they're holding hands is the closest that we've seen them since ''First Class''), but averted with their younger selves. In 1973, he never once calls Erik "friend" (although the latter uses the endearment twice), which goes to show how broken their relationship is.
** With Hank in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. They are each other's OnlyFriend for a decade, so it's inevitable that they would develop a very close bond. There are moments of non-verbal (and non-telepathic) communication between the two men, like when Xavier gently taps Beast on the chest after he mutters to Logan, "I think I'd like to wake up now." [=McCoy=] immediately understands that the gesture means, "You can calm down now, our visitor is not a threat," and he reverts back to his human form.

* WideEyedIdealist: While in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' he isn't exactly naïve, his idealism is accentuated by the fact that everyone else seems to have a far more pessimistic approach to mutant-human relations. It's suggested that this is at least partly because he hasn't faced persecution in the same way. It sets up a nice contrast with his portrayal in the previous films, where he remains idealistic, but is a lot more cautious about it now that he's had personal experience.

This alludes to him embracing his former naïvety again.



* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', there's a hint that he had an unhappy childhood, but he simply chooses not to speak of it. After Erik makes a snide remark about his friend's wealth, Charles' expression is mixture of annoyance with a little bit of hurt, and Raven steps in between two men as if to "shield" her brother from Erik's not-so-nice comment. Although she says, "It was a hardship softened by me" in a light tone, there is no sarcasm in her voice, and Charles kisses her on the cheek as a quiet "thank you" for her support and understanding in what is a very sensitive matter to him.
