He wears a dark purple t-shirt with a dark gray scarf, a black leather jacket, blue jeans, and black shoes with gray details.
Personality[]
Antonio is a charming, yet arrogant boy who can be seductive and smooth towards girls as shown when Margo and Gru sees him at the mall and takes interest in him.
Like Margo, he is sarcastic and sassy towards Felonius Gru when he tries to protect Margo from Antonio. He even can be mean-spirited as shown in an instance when he tries to protect Margo from Gru, He kicks Gru in the crotch.
Plot[]
Despicable Me 2[]
Antonio first appears when Margo Gru meets him at the mall and she immediately develops a crush on him, much to Felonius Gru's annoyance. And then, he does everything he can to come between them.
Near the end of the movie, Antonio and Margo go to the Cinco de Mayo party together where they proceed to dance as Gru tries to stop them, but he fails. After Gru comes back from El Macho's hideout, he sees Margo depressed because Antonio left her and is dancing with another girl. Gru tells her she is way better off without him and Margo leaves with Gru, but a vengeful Gru encases Antonio in a block of ice with his freeze ray for breaking Margo's heart and not explaining why. Antonio's new girlfriend is shocked by what happened and tries to pull her hand out, but fails.
After his father was arrested, it's unknown what happened to Antonio, as he hasn't been seen or heard from ever since (with him last being seen trapped inside a block of ice created by Gru's freeze ray). However, it's possible that he was taken to a foster home (seeing as how he has no other relatives aside from his mother who hasn't been seen or mentioned in the movie), or he was arrested by the Anti-Villain League (where they possibly learned that Antonio is the son of the infamous supervillain (El Macho) that they're after).
