![]() With his upper body he can lift (press) approximately 1000 pounds while his legs can press approximately 1 ton under optimal conditions. Pietro possesses superhuman strength in his lower body as part of his body's adaptations for running. Another example can be found in X-Men #44, when he had the ability to fly for short periods of time. ![]() It is unknown if he can do this from a distance like his nephew Thomas Shepherd. He has demonstrated the full effect which enables him to destabilize atomic matter by accelerating its molecules often causing it to fall apart or explode usually by touching it. Different writers used it for different things that were often absurd or completely ignored it. One of the very peculiar ones was being able to vibrate his molecular structure at high speeds. Through the course of his life as a mutant, his super speed has granted him numerous abilities. He has traveled around the world by running on top of the ocean water and even ran all the way up Mount Everest without slowing down and went flying above cloud level as a result. Quicksilver is also immune to the effects of friction, reduced oxygen up to a point where a human can no longer breathe, and impact upon his body while moving at super-speeds. ![]() It is possible that he could run at even greater speeds if he was not limited by geological and atmospheric conditions. ![]() After being captured by the High Evolutionary, where his powers were upgraded by Isotope E, his speeds have been increased until he was capable of reaching high supersonic speeds up to at least Mach 4 (3,080 miles per hour), the true extent of his new speeds are unknown. He is able to run across the Atlantic Ocean and to oversea continents without having to stop, run up the sides of buildings effortlessly, and also seems able to use some type of energy, comparing it to "his father's power". He has created cyclone-like gusts of wind, which are able to knock a man off his feet. He has plucked an arrow out of the air from a standing start, and has dodged machine gun fire. Quicksilver has used his powers of acceleration for various feats. He had sufficient energy reserves that enabled him to run at this average speed for an unknown amount of hours before reducing his speed to replenish his body's store of energy. He was originally capable of running faster than the speed of sound (770 miles per hour). Quicksilver's lachrymose is more viscous than normal, thus preventing rapid evaporation and replenishment of surface fluids on his eyeballs under the influence of high wind velocity to occlude his vision. Quicksilver's practical reaction time is several times faster than a normal human's and the speed at which his brain processes information is heightened to a level commensurate with his bodily speed, enabling him to perceive his surroundings while traveling at high velocities. His bones contain unknown materials significantly more durable than calcium to withstand the dynamic shocks of his feet touching the ground at speeds a human could never achieve or withstand. His tendons have the tensile strength of spring steel. His joints are smoother and lubricated more efficiently than those of a normal human being. Rather, his body constantly expels waste products during his accelerated respiration through exhalation. The chemical processes of Quicksilver's musculature are so highly enhanced that his body does not generate fatigue poisons, the normal by-products of locomotion, which force the body to rest. He metabolizes an estimated 95% of the caloric energy content of foodstuffs (normal humans use about 25%). His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many times more efficient than those of a normal human being. Pietro's body is adapted towards the rigors of high-speed running.
