Pietro Maximoff was a native of Sokovia who was fraternal twin brother of Wanda Maximoff, and the biological son of Natalya and the David Maximoff until they were adopted by Ana and Mateo Maximoff. The country of Sokovia, which was embroiled in constant war and strife, became the base of operations for a HYDRA cell operated by Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, who recruited Pietro and Wanda to take part in a series of tests involving the Scepter, giving the twins superpowers. While his sister received a number of telekinetic abilities, Pietro acquired the ability to move at supersonic speeds.
At the time when HYDRA fell, the twins joined forces with Ultron in order to continue their quest for revenge on Tony Stark over his weapons killing their aunt and uncle, but eventually switched sides and helped the Avengers when they discovered Ultron's true intentions. Pietro then fought in the battle of Sokovia alongside all of the other Avengers, but later sacrificed his own life to protect Clint Barton and Costel, much to his sister's grief. His sacrifice was not in vain, as the Avengers prevailed against Ultron and stopped him from enacting his cataclysmic extinction-level plan.
In the wake of his sacrifice, Pietro's body was secretly sent directly to South Korea at the request of Nick Fury, who oversaw this secret project that would be of great use to restore people back to life. Under Doctor Cho's care, Pietro's body was healing and had been restored to life, but remained in stasis within the cradle for years while the Snap had taken place. In the aftermath of the Blip, Pietro had somehow awoke from the cradle, but had no memory of who he was. Not even remembering what had happened, he fled from South Korea and traveled to the country of Latveria.
