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, 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.
