I mean okay I don't expect Stan Lee in the 60s to have been a cultural encyclopedia And it's not that big a deal, there's a huge range of places they could theoretically be from, and according to Wikipedia "Petro" or "Piatro" wouldn't be out of place in Ukraine or Belarus

I guess you could say it's to differentiate him from Colossus in the X-Men, whose real name is Piotr Rasputin But then you look at how many different characters are all named "Peter"

It is kind of funny imagining the meeting where they decided they had to kill Pietro in Age of Ultron because for the next big team-up they couldn't have THREE guys all looking up whenever someone says "Pete"

It's pretty weird, the whole imaginary-states bit, to me. Apparently the official languages are Russian and Ukrainian, so Piotr for Russian yes, and apparently Петро (Pyetro) if Ukrainian. I guess you have to make up a country if you're gonna destroy it but ehh. Odd.

They speak Russian in the show but the alphabet on signs isn't Russian Cyrillic, it's Serbian Cyrillic.

I wonder if this was because they already called Colossus Piotr.

They also had Collosus, who is already Piotr, for what it’s worth...

Colossus was created 11 years after Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch but yeah
