As a result of genetic engineering when they were still in utero, the twins possess bio-energy powers which only function if the twins are in physical contact - usually by holding hands.

Other Info
Baron Strucker instilled in his twins, Andrea and Andreas, his Nazi values. Therefore, Andrea grew up as a white supremacists who had great sympathy for the Nazi agenda, and strived for the Fourth Reich. The twins possessed bio-energy powers which functioned if they were in physical contact. As a team, they referred to themselves as "Fenris."

One day, in Africa, Storm interrupted Andreas' attempt to assault a native woman. In retaliation for humiliating her brother, Andrea shot Storm (who was powerless at the time) and left her to die. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn more about Storm. Note: Beware of the VERY revealing outfit worn by Storm on her bio page--block images if possible.)

At one point, Andrea's father appeared to have seemingly died in an incident involving Magneto and Professor X. For this, the Strucker twins despised Magneto. Therefore, as the years passed, Fenris finally made for an attack on Magneto during his trial in Paris by the International Court of Justice for his crimes against humanity. However, the X-Men foiled the twin's assassination attempt, but the Fenris managed to escape. (To learn about the characters and/or team highlighted above, just click on their names.)

Over the next while, Andrea and her brother continued being low-level villains, occasionally pestering the X-men and other X-teams. They even attempted to kill Banshee and Forge; however, they were unsuccessful.  (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names.) 

Later on, Andrea and Andreas had joined the Upstarts (a group of mutant millionaires who engaged in a campaign of murder as part of a game organized by the Gamesmaster and the Hellfire Club's former Black Queen Selene). As part of the Upstarts, Fenris captured many members of the New Mutants and the Hellions. This also had run-ins with Generation X, Quicksilver, and Gambit on a couple occasions. Fenris even tried to acquire Omega Red for the Upstarts, but failed. The twins ultimately met their match when they tried to kill Wolfsbane. Along with her new X-Factor teammates, Wolfsbane easily defeated the Andrea and her brother. (Click the highlighted names above to learn about the teams and/or characters. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by some on the Hellfire Club and Hellions' bio pages.)

After the fall of the Kingpin, Andrea and Andreas joined a conference of powerful criminal leaders who intended to divide up the Kingpin's empire. Among the members of the conference were Slug, Hammerhead, Tombstone, and their half-brother Werner von Strucker (however, the twins did not believe Werner was actually their sibling). At the conference, many arguments happened which resulted in a shouting, shooting, and blasting match. Fenris attempted to kill Hammerhead; however, he was rescued. In the end, Werner was killed by their father, who was disguised at the conference as Werner's assistant. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Later on, Andrea and her brother were seen working with their father, Baron Strucker. The two ended up in a fight with Citizen V (John Watkins III). However, it was Andrea that discovered that this "Citizen V" was actually Baron Helmut Zemo's consciousness in John Watkin III's body. Realizing this, Zemo quickly killed Andrea to keep her from telling anyone his secret. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters.)

At one point, Andrea mysteriously returned from the dead (not long after Andreas had contracted to have her cloned by Arnim Zola). However, the speed at which she had been cloned concerned Thunderbolts' director Norman Osborn. Andrea accompanied her brother and the Thunderbolts into battle against the Skrulls during their Secret Invasion. She was initially feared to be a Skrull, but when Moonstone attempted to cut a deal for part of the conquered planet, Andrea attacked Moonstone. Andrea was preparing to finish off Moonstone, when she was stabbed and killed from behind by Bullseye.

Note: Beware of the very skin-tight outfit worn by Moonstone on the Thunderbolts and her own bio pages.)
