Andre Gen V, portrayed by Chance Perdomo in the series Gen V, died off-screen in the storyline of Season 2. The character's death was written into the show following the tragic real-life death of Chance Perdomo in a motorcycle accident in March 2024. The show's creators decided not to recast Andre's role and instead honored the actor by depicting Andre's death as a heroic sacrifice. In Season 2, it is revealed that Andre died from brain damage caused by overexerting his magnetic powers while trying to escape captivity with friends. He tried to move a massive steel door to aid the escape but suffered a stroke and died due to the strain on his powers, which share a vulnerability with his father, Polarity, who also experiences "neural tears" from using his abilities. This storyline serves as a tribute to Chance Perdomo and keeps his character's legacy alive in the series.
