Maybe Magneto can blitz him into the sun so he is never heard from again-Never liked Quicksilver myself for the most part. If Marvel needs a Flash equivalent then they could bring back Triathlon.

I wonder about you sometimes.

Might as well just stop following comics entirely, because most characters never reach the highs of their best runs. Very rarely do you see several iconic runs on a character. Certainly not secondary characters like Quicksilver, who aren't now and have never been really strong enough to be stars on their own where they can be developed more.

I don't know, for not being an iconic character, Quicksilver has a very compelling and fleshed out story arc that has gone through many ups and downs that pretty much made sense considering who the character is.

Where I think the character has been derailed is the fact that the writer of Son of M was never able to finish his story and Slott had him use the Skrull excuse for his actions, which not only made Luna reject him, but will more than likely always stick him with an aura of mistrust with the rest of the Superheroic community.

There is such a thing as a poisoned character and Quicksilver might be one of those characters. Now, this doesn't mean I think he's beyond redemption, but salvaging Quicksilver calls for a character job that will probably not be given in an era where almost no one receives that type of character job.

Sounds good. Promise that if I quote Serpentor that someone shoots me as I then remember how much I hate the cartoon version of him.

Sorry, should I not have mentioned Triathlon? To be fair, he's less of a dick than Pietro.

Would an outhouse brand cookie make you feel better?

Well back on subject, should Jean Grey return I think it would be interesting if she joined the Avengers or maybe Future Foundation and stay away from the X-books for awhile.

I could see her in X-Force or at the school. They should keep her far away from Utopia and Scott IMO.

I see the school for sure, plus the hold thing with Scott and Emma would make utopia more tense then it already is.

Xforce would be interesting though I doubt it would happen.

X-Force could work as possibility but having her move away from anything X would make her more appealing. Her being an Avenger could work as it would be interesting to see how her and Captain America would interract and possibly get involved-I would kill to see the reaction on Scott and Logan's faces if that ever happened.
