2) Chance Perdomo as Andre Anderson

Andre is one of the most popular sophomore students at Godolkin, partly because of his strange powers to manipulate metal like his father, Polarity. While Andre carries the weight of his father's legacy, he decides to fight back when strange things start to occur on his campus. British actor Chance Perdomo played Andre in Gen V Season 1. In March 2024, Perdomo was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident. His role was not recast in Season 2, out of respect for the late actor.
