Andre in Gen V is a top student and a superhero with metal manipulation powers. He is played by Chance Perdomo, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident in March 2024. In the show, Andre is a key character in season 1 and faces a dramatic fate in season 2. His character attempts to escape from a prison-like situation after his friend Marie escapes but dies after overexerting his powers trying to break through a huge steel door. The show honors Andre's memory throughout season 2, with other characters mourning his loss and his heroic sacrifice being a significant plot point. His father, Polarity, is also a character who grapples with the loss and seeks justice for Andre. The role was not recast after the actor's death, and the story was reworked to pay respect to Chance Perdomo and his legacy in the show.
