And it's like yeah This is technically true But he doesn't need to *vibrate* the glass to add extra energy to it until it breaks He could just, like, run directly into it and smash it without damage to himself That's also a logical consequence of his powers

Just like how "vibranium" allowing you to "control vibrations" really just means you can arbitrarily do anything Like the Doctor's sonic screwdriver "Vibrations" just means "energy"

Anyway, kinetic energy is just 1/2mv^2, "superspeed" is just creating huge amounts of energy out of nowhere, and being able to apply delta-v to yourself (accelerate and decelerate) without harm means you're invulnerable too (being hit by a bullet or a wall is also acceleration)

Actually WandaVision makes all this *much more* justified than it was before Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch BOTH have pure "reality breaking" powers that violate conservation of energy and physics and let them do whatever they want

It's just that the way Quicksilver uses it is much more direct and much less creative "Bullet time" is a very single-minded meathead-jock way of "doing the impossible" as opposed to doing it the smart way with magical wiggly-woos But it still gets the job done

Hence we see it repeat with the next generation -- Billy and Tommy really have the same powers, it's just that Tommy uses them in a way that doesn't require thinking about shit

It's funny how *blatant* they make that with Evan Peters Pietro too His powers are as much of a handwave as Wanda's "You don't even have a costume!" "Don't I?" *zip, comes back fully dressed with his hair all done up and everything*

The idea that from his POV he spent like a whole afternoon's worth of time shopping for that costume, trying it on for size, and then like carefully gelling his hair into place and then bleaching and gelling Tommy's too just so he could own Wanda

While they're in bullet time at the hair salon and he's checking to see if Tommy's tips are fully frosted yet "Okay kid now remember when we go back into the room you gotta act like no time has passed, that's what makes this kind of thing funny"

Replying to @arthur_affect
Quicksilver's greatest power is actually showmanship.
