Pietro Maximoff

As teenagers, Wanda and Pietro discovered that they had unusual superhuman abilities. When Django began to steal food to feed his starving family, enraged villagers attacked the Romani camp. Using his phenomenal speed, Pietro fled from the camp with his sister. The circumstances of their separation from their family were so traumatic that not until well into adulthood could they remember anything but the barest details of their childhood. Even though Wanda knows how to take care of herself, Pietro was overprotective of her sister. For the next few years, Wanda and Pietro wandered central Europe, living off the land.
