History
Becoming Swordsman
After Andrea's death Andreas, who was being controlled by the Purple Man at the time, flayed off some of the skin from her corpse and preserved it so he could continue to use his powers. He then wrapped some of it around the hilt of his sword. While being controlled by the Purple Man, Andreas was sent to kill Baron Strucker. While attempting this, Baron Strucker was also attacked by Wolverine, who was at the time being controlled by a splinter group of HYDRA, called the Dawn Of the White Light. Andreas protected his father and also prevented him from killing Wolverine.When Andreas managed to free himself of Purple Man's hold, he joined the Thunderbolts.
Caged Angel
The Thunderbolts soon became a government-sponsored unit, and Andreas negotiated a deal. The American government would have his service for a year. Then in a year's time, he would be pardoned off all crimes and leave with a clone of his sister.
They'll die by my sword
Telepaths infiltrated Thunderbolts Mountain and began affecting people's minds, pushing their already existing buttons. Andreas' arrogance was pushed beyond its normal limits. He exploded a bomb on the Zeus in the flight deck and recruited his own faction of guards to help takeover the mountain. Demanding to be called Baron Strucker, he shaved his head and spraypainted his guards' armor purple to match him. Most of them were shot to death minutes later. He sliced his way through any other guards who got in his way until his rampage crossed with Venom's own rampage. They fought. Andreas thrusted his sword into Venom's gut, using an energy blast to disperse the symbiote so the blade could reach Gargan underneath. Andreas continued on. He was chased down by Norman Osborn, who had also snapped and was flying around as the Green Goblin. Osborn soundly beat Andreas, leaving him crucified to a wall with razorbats through his hands and feet.
Secret Invasion
"Brotherly" love
Andreas and his sister joined the Thunderbolts defense of Washington D.C. against the Skrulls. During the battle, he was blasted from behind by Moonstone, who had been ordered to keep an eye on them to determine how Andrea was communicating with the Skrulls. Only it turned out Andrea wasn't a Skrull as everybody else had been expecting. Still, she was killed by Bullseye while Andreas remained unconscious. When he awoke and found his sister dead again, Osborn told him it was the Skrulls' doing. He believed this but still put some of the blame on Osborn. He went on to vent his grief and rage on every Skrull he could find.
Dark Reign
In the aftermath of the invasion, Andreas burned his sister's body, feeling it would be wrong to bury her in the family masoleum a second time. Songbird joined him as he did so, though he did not ask for company. He made his intentions clear to her. He would serve out the remainder of his Thunderbolts contract loyally and then murder Norman Osborn. He also tried to warn Songbird of what was to come. Saying what he knew outright was more than he was willing to do, but he did imply that Osborn had serious plans for changes with the Thunderbolts.
No place in Dark Reign for Andreas
Andreas later confronted Osborn. He was furious that Osborn seemed to be changing the plan. Deals had been made with Moonstone, Venom and Bullseye but not him. He wasn't going to be betrayed and sent back to prison. Osborn attempted to explain, but Andreas was too angry, threatening to go public with things he knew. The stress got to Osborn's already weak hold of sanity. He snapped and ran Andreas through with Andreas' own sword, shouting about how he was the one in charge. Andreas was then thrown out the window.
