There are rumors that Quicksilver is going to be taken off X-Factor and brought to Avengers. I don't know if this rumor is true, though it sounds plausible since you yourself said that Peter David was told that he could use Quicksilver with the understanding that the Avengers office would want him back. Why couldn't Quicksilver be in both? There are plenty of characters in more than one team as well as their own solos so clearly sharing isn't a problem.

I’m going to answer this one, but this answer applies to all of the assorted anonymous questions I’ve been getting concerning rumors all emanating from the same place.

I’m not going to be talking about any of that here.

I’m not going to be encouraging you to go read all of that nonsense. And I’m not going to be willingly writing more pieces that the site in question can quote from extensively to put up more self-defensive articles and grab even more headlines and eyeballs.

We don’t deal with rumor here.

We also don’t give away any story developments that may be upcoming. That’s why “Wait and see” has become our catch-phrase.

Look up! The sky is still in the sky!

Stop filling your internet diet with crap.

Read his last sentence repeatedly until you either have an aneurysm or it sinks in. Serialized stories rely heavily on tension and drama to keep people reading.

X-Men was supposedly “cancelled” back when Age of Apocalypse happened in the 90s. Same with the Onslaught Books. Pay attention long enough in comics, and you start to notice patterns.
