                                According to Marvel lore, Quicksilver's metabolism is estimated to be over 15 times faster than a normal human's, a hyper-accelerated rate required to power his incredible speeds. This accelerated physiology is a core component of how Pietro Maximoff's body functions, enabling not just his speed, but also enhanced healing and stamina.
