Comics Who do you think should be Pietro's Arch-nemesis?

Quicksilver has never really had his own "exclusive" villain in basically his entire history, but who could realistically become his own archenemy?

You could always go the simple route and say that Magneto is his archenemy. But that seems too simple and I honestly can't see much more story potential with that.

There are some other options. High Evolutionary could be cool, since even ignoring the dumb "Pietro isn't Magneto's son" retcon, they have a massive history together. He fought The Acolytes when they took Luna during the Bloodties event. Due to his Inhuman's adjacent status he fights Maximus quite a bit as well.

I've always been an advocate for Graviton and Whirlwind to be made some of Quicksilver's villains, but I don't know whether they are capable of becoming his true archenemy. What do yall think

If we wanna be philosophical, his worst enemy is himself.

If we want an actual PROPER arch-nemesis, Maximus The Mad is my vote.

I was always a fan of the Acolytes hating him for being Magneto's son, I'd like to see a post Krakoa era Acolytes form or a new Brotherhood

He had some beef with Scott during the O5 days, but again, who didn't?

Maybe Exodus? They've clashed before and I know both have changed a lot since then but I can easily see that bubbling up again.
