Andre Deschaine, also known as D'Spayre, is the main antagonist in Season 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series Marvel's Cloak & Dagger.
He was a former jazz musician who after gaining powers by the Roxxon Gulf Platform's exposed Darkforce and Lightforce, intended on becoming a god-like being to rid himself of his migraines by feeding off the despair of those he kidnapped and sold in his secret sex-trafficking ring. His hunger for power and desire to put New Orleans' population in an eternal trance had pitted him against the duo Cloak and Dagger.
He was portrayed by Brooklyn McLinn.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He started a support group specializing in aiding victims of abuse, which he then used as a front for a sex trafficking ring in New Orleans. He would feed off of people's despair through initial physical contact and would force any women into his ring who he claimed was "beyond saving".
- He would use his powers to force his victims to experience their own personal despairs, all so he could stop his own migraines without regard for said victims' well-being.
- He used his powers to enslave Dagger into his trafficking ring. He also utilized them to manipulate Cloak into thinking she had given up on him.
- He met with Chantelle Fusilier to explain to him how he could become a Loa as a permanent solution, and then used his powers to kill her after he saw her as a threat.
- He used Lia Dewan, his right-hand woman, as a main source to stop his migraines. He began to constantly drain her to unconsciousness when Mayhem found his record collection of despairs in his dimension and destroyed them. Afterwards, he ditched her on the side of the road and left her to die.
- He kidnapped countless people with his powers and kept them in a trance while he played a blue note and fed off of their despair to become a Loa.
- After becoming a Loa and no longer needed his physical body, Andre (now as D'Spayre) constantly played his trumpet in his dimension and abducted thousands of people from New Orleans, placing them in a trance as his audience while he fed off of their despair and no longer had his migraines.
- When Cloak and Dagger confronted him, he split them up and used their fears and painful memories to psychologically torment them so he could feed off of them as well.
- He ultimately had no genuine excuse for his actions other than his own selfish need to use other people's pain to alleviate his own.
- While he has to live with constant pain since the night of the explosion that burned down his club, his migraines prevented him from playing jazz and attempting suicide due to the latter, this isn't played for sympathy and his actions go far past it.
- Overall, he is one of the vilest antagonists in the MCU.
Trivia[]
- D'Spayre is the only main antagonist in the series to be a direct threat to both Cloak and Dagger, since while in Season 1, Peter Scarborough (the main antagonist) was more of an enemy to Dagger while Detective Connors (the secondary antagonist) was to Cloak.
- He is also far more dangerous than either of them because of his powers, his abusive cruelty and his goals that involved hurting a countless number of innocent people.
