Quicksilver later featured in the limited series Son of M, published from February to July 2006. Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch's mother—Magda—takes sanctuary at Mount Wundagore in Transia, the home of the High Evolutionary, after seeing her husband Magnus use his magnetic powers for the first time. Once there, she gives birth to the twins but dies soon after.

As Wundagore was no place for human infants, the High Evolutionary places them in the care of the gypsy Django Maximoff, who raises the twins as his own children.
