Biography[]

Pietro and his sister Wanda Lensherr were the children of a human and Erik Lensherr. They accompanied him in the Brotherhood of Mutants and lived in the Savage Land. Pietro accompanied the rest of the Brotherhood in kidnapping George Bush's daughter and bringing her to Croatia. Scott Summers arrived and escaped with the girl, and Pietro took the keys from Summers' engine. Summers blasted Pietro, who sped away right to James Howlett who attacked and defeated him. When Summers joined the Brotherhood, Pietro and the others accompanied him on a run to bomb London. As he talked with Wanda in the Savage Land, Sentinels attacked that his father reprogrammed to destroy Washington D.C.. Summers convinced Pietro to run after his father, and Pietro took his helmet, allowing Charles Xavier to pool Sentinel debris around him, presumably killing Lensherr. Pietro and Wanda were devastated, and attacked a military convoy to find Lensherr's body, but only found his helmet. Summers tried to convince the two to join him, but Pietro refused. Wanda left Pietro to grieve. Later, Howlett called the Brotherhood to stop Weapon X. They freed the X-Men and fought together, but Gray reused to let the soldiers be killed. The two groups parted after Nick Fury shot John Wraith, but the Brotherhood recruited Marian Carlyle and Cain Marko. Pietro and his sister later met Xavier at an art museum where Xavier suggested to go after human corruption, but Pietro was suspicious he was messing with their minds.

Wanda and Pietro did select missions for the Ultimates for the release of Mutant prisoners. During Clint Barton and Natalia Romanova's office-building slaughter of Chitauri sleeper agents, it seemed that Pietro and Wanda did nothing to help them, but Pietro assured Romanova he helped them, just too fast to see. This was the case after the Battle of Arizona, where Pietro and Wanda celebrated saving the planet, where Pietro had to assure Romanova he was there. The Brotherhood, now firmly led by Pietro and Wanda, broke a massive group of animal evolutionaries out of laboratories and used them to disarm the nuclear capabilities of India and Pakistan. Pietro read a speech from an autocue read by Franklin Dukes about the incident, and followed Xavier's advice to investigate human rights abuses.

Personality[]

Although he supported his father's ideas, Pietro was far less radical. He was calm and uptight, and held himself and his powers in high regard. He was dangerously obsessed with his sister Wanda, beginning a romantic relationship with her and being devastated at her death.

Powers[]
