Here's my thoughts.


 * By 2023 in the X-Men timeline, the mutant character have barely aged in last few decades. You could hypothezie that mutants age slower than humans. So it could possibly be the same Quicksilver.


 * Mutants go underground, fade into obscurity. People question the events of the past, and for the most part a "mutant" becomes a theory for rare occurances of gifted individuals.


 * Maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't developed beyond a special task force into a massive goverment operation until the mid-to-late 80s? At a smaller size and limited technology at the time, I'd imagine they would be too late by the time they get there, and/or a lot of action with him happens off-screen from the events in the movies.


 * Of course, it's a new timeline, meaning X1, X2, X2, post-Vietnam XOrigins, The Wolverine never happened now.

What about Amazing Spider-Man?
