Premise[]
Quicksilver raises his head in a picosecond. Based on the recent blogs, it seems the requester (Peter Maximoff) already tried this and it was riddled with problems. I foresee the same happening to me since I dunno what those problems were.

In the comic it seems he raised his head from looking forward to looking towards the sky. Speaking modestly that
could be done with a 20 degree angle shift, from forward to seeing the distant sky. Now I just need the size of Peter's head.
He is apparently 6'0. That's 3.3% higher than normal.
Standard head height is 23.9 cm, for both males and females. Ergo, proportionally, Quicksilver's should be 3.3% larger- 24.69 cm it is.
Turns out his head is only a bit less wide than it is tall. Cool.
Height = 28 px = 24.69 cm
Width = 27 px = 23.81 cm
This is our arc radius. 0.11905 m.
The arc length is 0.0416 m, or 4.16 cm. Seems about right for just moving your head.
He did this in a picosecond, or 1e-12 seconds.
S = D/T
D = 0.0416
T = 1e-12
S = 4.16e10 m/s, 138.76c, MFTL
Huh. I'm sure this is going to cause hell in my life.
Fun. Cool. Good stuff.
