Mystique is awesome and Magneto kicks ass, but truth be told, neither of them can compare to the mutant that holds the the key to my heart: Quicksilver. Just to be clear, I'm talking specifically about the Quicksilver played by Evan Peters in the X-Men movies, not the Aaron Taylor-Johnson version from Avengers: Age of Ultron, who is OK, I guess. Peters is back as the scene-stealing speedster in X-Men: Apocalypse [1], and his appearance is just as glorious as his debut in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Take a minute to revisit why he's such a vital part of the X-Men universe.
First of All, Look How Cute He Is
He's Really Just Cool Doing His Own Thing
But He's Down to Help Out When the Team Needs Him
Here He Is, Getting Down to Business
Yes, He's Rocking Out to the Tune of Jim Croce's 1973 Hit "Time in a Bottle"
This Whole Scene Is the Best Part of X-Men: Days of Future Past
Don't Even Try to Argue With That
His Power Is Cool and All, but It's How He Uses It That's Really Great
You Steal That Hat, Quicksilver
He's Just Unabashedly Entertaining
There's Also That "Magneto Is His Dad" Storyline
See That Sweet Easter Egg?
And It Helps That Evan Peters Is So Cute
We're not obsessed [2], you're obsessed!
Don't Worry, There's Another Fantastic Sequence in X-Men: Apocalypse
Keep On Smiling, You Beautiful Creature
