That same lack of relation isn't true of Quicksilver.

Superhero fans the world over probably geeked out at this sly addition to the continuity (something that'll no doubt play a part in the family-less Magneto's arc), although Mystique's reaction is a little more on theshocked side, leading to the trailer's best joke (that unfortunately wasn't saved for cinemas)...
