Andrea von Strucker and Andreas von Strucker are two fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are the German twin children of supervillain Baron von Strucker of HYDRA and the half-siblings of Werner von Strucker. Created by Chris Claremont and John Romita, Jr., they first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #194 (June 1985) as Andrea and Andreas and as Fenris in Uncanny X-Men #200 (December 1985).
Andrea and Andreas are the children of the terrorist organization HYDRA leader Baron Wolfgang von Strucker. While the two were still in their mother's uterus, they were genetically modified which gave them bio-energy powers which they can use when in physical contact with one another (usually when holding hands). Baron indoctrinated his children in the beliefs of white supremacy, Nazism and the Fourth Reich. In adulthood, the twins became the supervillains known as "Fenris" and led the Fenris terrorist organization.
Like their father, the twins are incestuous white supremacists. The Strucker twins have gone up against Storm when Storm interrupts Andreas' attempted assault on a native woman in Africa. Andrea retaliates for Storm's humiliation of her brother by shooting her in the head and leaving her to die.
The Strucker twins despise Magneto for the role in their father's seeming death some years after World War II. They conduct acts of terrorism and finally attack Magneto during the trial in Paris by the International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity. The X-Men foil their assassination attempt, but Fenris manages to escape by allowing themselves to be swept into the old city sewers.
