Más y Menos are a pair of identical twin superheroes and members of Titans East.

History

How the twins came to the attention and enlistment into the group which would become the Titans East remains unknown. Both are about twelve years old and come from Guatemala, and even though they had not learned to speak English at the time they came to America, they are perfectly able to understand it.

Initially, the twins were - by necessity - the only Titans East members who worked as a team, but even then they still got into the way of the others or were hindered themelves. Cyborg, who had originally come from Jump City to help outfit their tower, decided to give them a hand in getting more organized as a team. Más y Menos aided in the team's first takedown of the villain Steamroller, but when Brother Blood and his robot troopers attacked the tower soon afterwards, the Titans East panicked and split up, each fending for himself, herself, or (in the twins' case) themselves. Without the asisstance of their teammates, the twins were captured and, subjected to Blood's mind control, became his new 'students.' In order to augment his mind control and to find out what had enabled Cyborg to resist his mental powers, Blood decided to convert the Titans East into cyborgs. The Teen Titans, summoned by Cyborg, interfered and battled the brainwashed Titans East. Blood managed to capture the entire lot, but was finally defeated by Cyborg and jailed. After coming back to their senses, Más y Menos swiftly developed a crush on Starfire, which endangered their brothers' bond a bit.

Más y Menos have continued to serve with the Titans East ever since. When pursued by the Brotherhood of Evil, the twins were hunted and separated by Johnny Rancid and Cinderblock, who took Menos prisoner. Más managed to escape and regrouped under Beast Boy's leadership along with Pantha, Herald and Jericho, and though bereft of his superpower, he bravely entered battle even against stronger opponents like Adonis, Punk Rocket and the Puppet King. When Titan reinforcements arrived and joined Beast Boy's team in battle, Más was finally able to reach his brother and unthaw him from flash-freezing via their sibling's bond. Promptly, they began fiddling with Professor Chang's machine and succeeded in uncovering its works, un-freezing the other captured Titans and then flash-freezing any defeated villain before they would recover. After the fight, they joined the other Titans and Honoraries in Titans Tower and in the subsequent recapture of Doctor Light.

Teen Titans Go!

In issue #34 of the comic series, Más y Menos participate in a charity race against fellow speedster Kid Flash. The extend of their abilites never comes to light in that race, however, because the twins win by default: Kid Flash can't help himself but flirt with any attractive girl he meets on the way.

Powers and abilities

Más y Menos' primary power is super-speed, which they can attain instantly from a positionary start. However, this powers is tied to the sibling's bond they share; as such, they can activate and use this power only when they are in physical contact with each other. Their sibling's bond also enables them to locate each other by what Más once termed a quasi-'magnetic connection'; the closer one twin would get to the other, the stronger they could feel each other's presence and current status.Unless something bad happens like one of them getting frozen

As a more mundane ability, Más y Menos can perfectly understand, but not speak, English. The necessity of remaining together to use their powers made them also excellent teamworkers with each other. A physical connection with each other can usually not be broken in combat; a disconnection must be achieved by either an accident or by force.

Character facts

• The twins' battle cry is "¡Más y Menos, sí podemos!" which means, "More and Less, yes we can!" in Spanish. It is likely that this is a pun, based on the Spanish saying "mas o menos" ("more or less"). It is also noted that Más y Menos represent the negative and postives.
• Taken out of context, Más y Menos' names translate to "More" and "Less," but in their particular context (i.e. the symbols on their chests and their rallying cry), their names mean "Plus and Minus," as both "más" and "menos" can be used as mathematics terms.
• Más y Menos were created exclusively for the series and had no prior appearance in the Teen Titans mainstream comic series. However, they have since been adapted into the mainstream comic line, making them the first original characters from the animated series to make the jump. They first appear in Teen Titans #38 (September 2006) on a photo.
• Más y Menos are similar to Gemini Black and White from the Megaman Starforce series as both have + and - symbols and they have to make contact with their twin to use their powers.
• They spoke english in "for real."
• They are like Plusle And Minun from the cartoon series Pokèmon.
