A mutant, Andreas von Strucker had the ability to fire energy blasts from his hands - but only when in physical contact with his twin sister Andrea. After his sister's death, Andreas became the third person to call himself Swordsman and wrapped his dead sister's skin on the hilt of his sword to enable him to still use his mutant powers - the energy blasts of which were channelled through the blade of his sword.
In a case of tragic irony, Andreas died when he was impaled on his own sword by Norman Osborn.
