Andre Cross

**Andres Mateo "Andre" Castillo-Cross** (born October 31, 2006), also known as the vigilante, **Havoc**, is one of the two main protagonists of Blood and Power.

Andre is the third-born child and the firstborn son of Rose Castillo-Cross and the second-born child and first son of Devon Cross, the younger maternal half-brother of Azure Castillo, the younger fraternal twin brother of Alycia Cross, the older brother of Jayvon and Seraph Cross, the best friend of Hakeem Parks and Brooklyn Young.

Andre is an extremely powerful meta-human, who similar to his twin sister, has more superpowers than his family. He primarily possesses the ability of Molecular Manipulation, allowing him to manipulate matter on a molecular level, granting him several superpowers, Ergokinesis, allowing him to manipulate and generate energy and a powerful Psychic-bond to his twin sister, Alycia.

He is a junior at St. Johns Visions High School. Andre and his family are living in Harlem, secretly as the son of the world's most powerful superheroes in the world, and due to his abandonment issues, strives for his parents love, but doesn't do so by trying to be like them, as his older brother, Azure does. He sets out to protect those who the superheroes don't think of, the poor and needy.

While the son of Olympia and Bronze Eagle, the strongest heroes in the entire world, Andre is persistent in protecting those who are looked over by heroes, to protect his new home, and becomes the vigilante **Havoc**. He is currently, unknowingly, the nemesis of his best friend, Hakeem Parks, and has become an interference in the young villain's quest to earn his father's love.

## Biography

### Early Life

Andres was born on October 31, 2006, to Devon Cross, a fitness coach, who was known as the superhero, *Bronze Eagle*, and Rose Castillo, a military general and superheroine, *Olympia*, alongside his twin sister, Alycia, whom he was five minutes younger than. A couple years before he was born, his mother had a son with another man, his half-brother, Azure, who was an influential part of his life, as his big brother. He grew up in Aurum, one of the Mystic Provinces, being of Jamaican, Puerto Rican and Italian heritage.

At a young age, he and his sister both showed formidable control over telekinesis. Three years after he was born, he became older brother to his brother, Jayvon. Then at five, his parents had another baby, his younger sister, Seraph.

He grew up with dark impulses, as a result of his bipolar disorder, and would have mood swings and outbursts, that endangered those around him, especially as his telekinetic powers began to become destructive and would occasionally hurt those around him, when he had an "episode".

When he was eight, after an argument with his sister, he used his telekinesis and buried her toy and she couldn't find it for ten days.

Along with his siblings, he eventually attended Lucent, with his brothers and sisters, although he was also seeing a therapist at the same time, to help him manage his emotions, which contrasted with his powers.

## Physical Description

Andre is an attractive young man with a low-fade black hair, bright green eyes and an athletic build. In skin tone, he favors his mother's skin, as he is a light brown, tan-skinned. He is very muscular, as he works out all the time. As he is extremely athletic, he wears clothing that fits his physique, or shows off his muscles, sometimes wearing white or black tank tops. In nearly every outfit, Andre wears some shade of black or blue, whether it be a blue t-shirt underneath a black leather jacket, sliver and blue bracelets, black boots or a black tank-top. Like his twin sister, his emotions are tied to his powers, and whenever he becomes upset or emotionally overwhelmed, his eyes glow a bright green color.

Andre also inherited his mother's eyes, as he has bright green eyes, just like the rest of his siblings.

## Personality

Andre is described as an incredibly impulsive young man, as he makes decisions without thinking ahead of time. Although underneath the surface bubbles a darkness that cannot go unaddressed. Given both his sinister lineage and the questionable supernatural biology that accompanies it, Andre possesses the power to render great harm unto the world if his behavior continues to go unchecked. He shows signs of mood swings, self-absorption, and over-possessiveness. It's ultimately Andre's attachment to the superficial and need to please others around him that will prevent him from doing the introspection necessary to avert the breakdown clearly on the horizon.

While he cares deeply for his siblings and parents and would do anything for them, he is incapable of seeing things from their perspective, excluding his twin sister, Alycia, due to their psychic bond, allowing him to truly understand the feelings his sister goes through, and vice-versa.

He is a wild card, as people never know how he's going to react to something or what he's going to do.

## Powers, Abilities & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Meta-human Physiology**: Andre has inherited the meta-gene from his mother and father, Rose Castillo and Devon Cross, resulting in a genetic mutation within his cells, altering his DNA and granting him superhuman powers. At a young age, he showed signs of the use of multiple abilities, using many in contrast with his twin sister, Alycia Cross. Dr. Hale described Andre's powers as incredible, albeit very unstable, due to his impulsive behavior and mental health issues, and that his status as one of the most powerful meta-humans in the entire world, as he's one of the only Class 5 in the entire world.
	+ **Molecular Manipulation**: Andre has the ability to manipulate matter on a molecular level.
		- **Telekinesis**: Just like his sister, Andre has telekinesis, allowing him to manipulate matter, in order to move objects as well as people with his mind.

		- **Molecular Inhibition**: Opposite of his sister, Andre has the ability to completely stop the movement of molecules, causing them to lose their energy and solidify, resulting in frost and ice. After weeks of practice, Andre is able to freeze water with complete ease. Later, he used the freezing aspect of his power to freeze one half of Alycia's staff, in conjunction with Alycia using her molecular acceleration on the other half, to create an electrical current to restart Hakeem's heart.
	+ **Ergokinesis**: Like his sister, Andre's body is able to generate limitless amounts of bright blue energy, which he can manipulate to his desire. He is able to harness and channel the energy in order to envelop it throughout his entire body, which can affect electrical frequencies and signals around him, as he summons it, can alter and completely blow up electronics around him. He has shown to mentally summon his energy in a controlled manner, simply activating his energy, without sending it elsewhere and making it affect a computer across from him. His energy has allowed him to levitate off the ground.
		- **Eye Coloration**: When manipulating energy, Andre's eyes glow a sparkling bright luminescent green color.
		- **Energy Absorption**: Andre is able to absorb various forms of energy, removing it from the source, and into his own body in order to use it in several ways, gaining a powerful advantage. He can absorb energy from different people or objects, draining energy to make himself stronger.
		- **Energy Projection**: Andre can shape his energy into controlled waves and beams of energy to attack and incapacitate enemies, with it's lowest intensity, being able to through flesh. He shape his energy in order to release it into bursts, applying several amounts of destructive force, with its lowest intensity being enough to cut through flesh. Andre's energy can also cause bright light to emit from his chest, unleashing shockwaves around him. He has demonstrated to be able to inadvertently harness the energy through his body in order to shape wings of a pegasus on his back in order to cushion his drop to the floor and unleash a burst of energy through the wings.
		- **Energy Weaponry**: Andre is able to manipulate energy as a weapon, creating lassoes that can restrain and throttle people, and even grab things with ease.
	+ **Chronokinesis (limited)**: Like his grandfather Ben, he shares the ability to manipulate time, albeit to a far less extent.
	+ **Chlorokinesis**: Andre's discovered he has the ability to manipulate and heal plants to his desire. He states he inherited the ability from his father, seeing as he has heard his father said he use to have this ability.
	+ **Psychic-bond**: Andre has a psychic connection with his sister Alycia, known as a "bond", due to their nature as twins. When connecting their minds, they both enter another plane of existence, which they refer to as the "bridge", a space where the two of them can confer, and sometimes warn each other when needed. They describe the sensing of each other as a "warm presence", and whenever the other is either unconscious or completely unresponsive, they sense a "cold absence". More over, Andre has felt Alycia's physical pain on at least more than one occasion, when he felt the sting of a needle in his left arm at the same time Alycia had blood samples taken from her. On one rare occasion, through their bond, they were able to transport matter across time and space, as Andre were able to unwittingly transport the Orb that Brainstorm was after, to Alycia without even knowing what he was doing.
		- **Psychic Communication**: Their bond allows them to communicate telepathically across long distances, and even have shared dreams with one another. They've discovered that through their bond they are able to see through each other's eyes, in times of emotional distress, and can feel the emotions of one another. Andre was able to send her a message that he was in trouble, allowing Alycia to intercept it, signaling her that he was in trouble.

### Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect**: Contrary to popular belief, Like his sister, Andre is incredibly intelligent, he has shown to accomplish various scientific feats, as he is an expert inventor and has created many gadgets and machines.
* **Indomitable will**: Andre has tremendous determination and strength of will, which makes him an extremely formidable opponent. Due to his bipolar disorder, he also possesses an obliviousness to danger that makes him invulnerable to fear and intimidation.
* **Master Acrobat**: As the captain of his school's gymnastics team, Andre is a skilled acrobat and extremely agile. His gymnastic feats are remarkable and effortless. His skills are accentuated by her ergokinetic superpowers, though in his fight against Hakeem as Shiv, he still demonstrated great acrobatic ability. Andre also has three silver metals in gymnastics. His acrobatic abilities only grow during his time as a vigilante, as he lands gracefully from attacks, leaps over blasts and utilizes his powers with perfection.
* **Lasso Mastery**: Andre is considerably efficient in mastering his energy ropes and lassos, as well as with actual lassos, and has demonstrated when he was able to use an energy lasso to against Shiv, to gain the upper hand, subdue and defeat him. He also demonstrated that he could use his lasso in close range combat, as demonstrated during his fight with his sister where he was able to disarm Alycia of her staff.

### Weaknesses

* **Mental illness**: Andre's greatest weakness is that his bipolar disorder occasionally impairs his higher thinking.
* **Power Instability**: In many cases, Andre's powers, similar to Alycia's seem unlimited. But in several cases, such as he and Alycia are psychically bonded, they psychosomatically share symptoms, as when Alycia was in a coma, Andre was incredibly weak and would lose his balance and fall unconscious temporarily. Because of how meta-humans like Andre have three times the normal iodine concentration in their bodies, and since his as a meta-twin is twice more then the three times the unusual level, going below that could be very dangerous, and could potentially kill him.
