Well, technically speaking Peter could be Anglicising, I think? But that makes sense. I really want X-Men Peter to be Magneto's son (I've got an irrational hate for someone who said it was possible he wasn't in the face of the extremely obvious hints that my friend Margret who isn't fannish picked up on immediately). But yes. I get it.
I think it works better for movie only audiences, too, it helps keep the characters straight. Also why I'm glad we won't get too confused by Peter being Quicksilver in X-Men (I'm sure there are plenty of speed puns that could be used, though a mischievous part of me wants him to be codenamed Mercury because it would be funny and also work).
