Vassili Petrov (Earth-3988)

Velocius is the codename of Vassili Petrov, a mutant character of the comic books of the publisher Marvel Comics.

Son of Anya and Alexei Petrov, was born in Kiev Ukraine. Soon after, his mother died.

He was adopted on the spot by a couple named Yago and Vidda and they lived next to a family of gypsies, when then it adopted the surname Petrov.

As his mutant powers developed, Vassili Petrov was attacked by people who believed he was a "demon" because of his powers. Saved and summoned by Sebastian Shaw to join the new Hellfire Club, he became a fearsome X-Men opponent. Despite this, they were not villains and much less part of the team, only exercised as a reward for Sebastian Shaw saving his life from the villagers.

At that time Vassili Petrov adopted the codename Velocius, in allusion to the speed that could reach. Endowed with speed, endurance and over-human reflexes, Velocius is able to run much faster than the speed of sound.

However, the relationship that Sebastian Shaw was never "father and son" and the revelation of his plans and the evil purposes of his organization led Vassili Petrov to leave the New Hellfire Club. Later, he would join the supergroup of the Winter Guardians. Vulto Veloz participated in several formations of the team. He became one of the team's most important Winter Guardians and was crucial in several arcs, having been in the same to this day.

Powers and Abilities

Velocius has super speed on an equal footing with Quicksilver of the Avengers: this gives not only the ability to move quickly, but also to see the world as it was in slow motion, being able to see the trajectory of bullets and very fast objects and catch them with their hands. He can reach the speed of sound. Your speed allows to run on the surface of the waters and the walls. All his physiology is based on his power, having a high metabolism, never gets tired, besides having a force much greater than that of a normal human, being able to press almost 500 kg with its upper part and more than a ton with its legs.

Its power allows you quick thinking and perform various tasks at the same time with an astounding speed. He can run so fast, can get through people without being seen, generating only the displacement of air. He can keep your speed for hundreds of miles before he tire. He can glide by twirling your arms or legs. Because of his power, he can learn anything in a few minutes. He is effective in hand-to-hand combat (trained by Winter Guardian).

But Vassili is unlikely to attain constant speeds comparable to light because there is no mutant capable of moving so fast in the Marvel Universe and probably never existed. Your ability to reach absurd speeds to surpass any living being or object, but he are likely to hit mach 29. Your maximum speed may allow he travel around the world for at least 92 seconds.
