Baron Hoff was an enemy of Quicksilver.

Baron Hoff set fires in multiple buildings across the waterfront of Manhattan until the entire borough was ringed with flames as a distraction to rob a large bank. When a bank teller attempted to reach for a gun he was gunned down by Baron Hoff. Quicksilver stopped the fires and saw the hold-up from the roof of a neighboring building. He dodged Baron Hoff's shots but was hit over the head. A newsboy tackled Baron Hoff, allowing for Quicksilver to regain his composure and defeat him.
