Más y Menos are fictional

animated television series, affiliated with the Titans East team. They are among the few heroes on the series not to have originated in the comic book. Taken out of context, their names translate from Spanish 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 are both voiced by Freddy Rodriguez

Fictional character biography

Teen Titans (TV series 2003-2006 and tie-in comics)

Más y Menos are a pair of Spanish-speaking twins from Guatemala who can move at superhuman speeds, but only when they are in contact with each other, possess a mental link, and are also known for their battle cry "¡Más o Menos, sí podemos!" which translates as, "More or Less, yes we can!". First appearing in the Teen Titans episode "Titans East" as founding members of the titular team, they establish a base in Steel City with help from Cyborg so they can locate Brother Blood. However, Blood attacks and brainwashes Titans East before forcing them to attack Cyborg. The original Teen Titans arrive to help and free Titans East from Blood's control while Cyborg defeats Blood himself.

In the episode "For Real",

Johnny Rancid and Cinderblock, but get separated when Menos is captured. An escaping Más seeks out Beast Boy for help and use his link to locate his brother, but the link gets severed when the Brotherhood of Evil flash-freeze Menos. In "Titans Together", Más and Beast Boy join forces with Pantha, Herald, and Jericho
to rescue their fellow Titans and defeat the Brotherhood.

In Teen Titans Go!, Más y Menos race Kid Flash, who despite being faster than them, loses because of his overconfidence.

Powers and abilities

Due to their connection to the Speed Force, Más y Menos have metahuman powers that allow them to move at superhuman speed whenever they are touching each other, with their maximum velocity being stated to be seven times the speed of sound, and can use their speed to vibrate their bodies and generate heat.[citation needed] Additionally, they share a mental link that allows them to locate each other and sense each other's pain while they are conscious.
