I have a tiny X-Men evolution head cannon that basically says another reason why despite all the other aspects of Pietro's character making him such a slimy person and probably someone women just wouldn't want to approach is the fact that. I just simply believe he grew up around black people.
Now hear me out I think Pietro's one of those white people who grew up around black people but he's not one of those type of people who develop a blackcent or talks with black slang . And if he does it's like... It doesn't sound forced or corny like toad it's a really subtle because he also grew up around prim and proper magneto as well.
But this is just to say that I feel like in Cannon Pietro has a natural swag to him. I also feel like his haircuts are always super clean because he goes to a black barber. He does not go to White barbers. I also feel like because in my head I think his adoptive mother that his dad basically threw him at was also a black woman. She didn't really treat him well but she did teach him how to be very self-sufficient which is why he's super independent as well. She told him how to cook and clean because she wasn't going to cook for no one's little boy and she wasn't going to have him tearing up her house. This is also part of the reason why all his outfits are extremely put together because it's black mama taught him how to dress right and not look like these corny little white boys out here. Especially not looking like Evan or her out here showing the underwear looking a fool....
That woman likely ran a strict program on him 😭 and also did not play which is part of the reason why when he got arrested she did not come to pick him up. And honestly give him how he's very rebellious he was probably already kicked out and on the streets which was probably part of the reason why he was stealing. And given how prideful he is he probably wouldn't even told Evan that he was homeless because that would make him look pitiful. Which is low key a trope I see in old school black films idk if they do it alot in yt films from back on the day
Also nursing to add from this theory is the fact that.... All that's known about Pietro's Foster mother is the fact that she also lost a son. And I feel like that also too easily fits into the statistics for black mothers. And I could easily see this woman being a vague associate of magneto possibly a black mutant woman who had a child she lost likely to bigorty. Likely too mentally broken to join the brotherhood but was fit enough to raise Magneato's kid.
Also it could add another layer because magneato likes orcastrating things to make people see things his way. So what better way to have that than to have is probably low key spoiled kid live with a woman who probably knows the struggle and hard reality of life being a minority too well. Especially a from a freshly traumatized minority....who lost her kid to yt people and is now being made to raise somebody yt baby.
Do you guys not see how this is soo messed up it fits Evo magneato 😭
I actually didn't mean for this headcannon to get this deep but I felt like I needed to explain myself.
Anyway the more lighter half of this headcannon is that I feel like he really knows how to cook well. And because of that there is probably rare moments where him and Evan makeup simply so that Evan can get one of his plates. Because Kitty's cooking is trash and simply based off of a clip from the '90s X-Men TV show I want to say that likely Jean's cooking also might be trash. And if his aunt's not cooking then he's basically screwed.
So he gotta bum a plate from his ex best friend and asuch as they don't get along pietro would hate to see that man suffer from seasoning deficiency.
I also want to say that I feel like on rare occasions Pietro and Freddy bond through food and they raid stores for the holidays to throw down in the kitchen. And if X-Men evolution were to ever be in a more modern era with smartphones I just know for a fact they would rub the bomb ass spread they'd have for the holidays in the xmens faces
