Fictional Character Biography
Origin - Tyrone "Ty" Johnson (Cloak) and Tandy Bowen (Dagger) met in New York City as runaways. Tyrone was a 17-year-old boy from Boston, Massachusetts, with a debilitating stutter. He ran away to New York City when his speech impediment
prevented him from stopping his friend from stepping in front of a
moving vehicle. Tandy was a 16-year-old girl from a privileged
upbringing (born in Shaker Heights, Ohio) who ran away because her multi-millionaire supermodel
mother was too busy with her career and social life to spend time with
her daughter. When they met, Tyrone considered stealing Tandy's purse,
only to be shamed when she kindly offered him money. A thief stole the
purse and Tyrone retrieved it for her. Afterwards, they had dinner and
became fast friends. When the naïve Tandy accepted an offer of shelter
from some strange men, a wary Tyrone went along to protect her.
The two
teens were soon forcibly delivered to a criminal chemist named Simon Marshall, who was developing a new synthetic heroin for Silvermane and the Maggia,
testing it on runaway teens with fatal results. Johnson and Bowen
somehow survived injections of the drug, and they fled. During their
escape, the drug turned them into superpowered beings (it was later retconned that they were both actually mutants, and that the drug had simply awakened their latent abilities). Tyrone found himself engulfed in darkness and seized by a strange
hunger which eased in the presence of Tandy, who was glowing with a
brilliant light. Trying to hide his newly shadowy appearance in a
makeshift cloak, Tyrone began absorbing Marshall's thugs into his
darkness while Tandy struck them down with daggers of light. The two
teens dubbed themselves Cloak & Dagger and declared war on drug
crime in combating drug-dealers and helping runaway children.
Later it was revealed that during this time, D'Spayre had manipulated these events from behind the scenes.
Spider-Island - They are featured in the "Spider-Man" storyline as being homeless as
they had just lost their home in New York because it wasn't up to code.
They then were confronted by the Avengers who informed them about the
present spider problem at hand. It's also revealed that Dagger is
attending college classes as an attempt to normalize her life. Cloak has
contradicting views as he acknowledges them as "special".
After Mister Negative hears of a prophecy that he destined to be killed
by Dagger, he kidnaps her and corrupts her with his negative touch; her
powers are changed, now working through the Dark Force. Similar to Cloak, she gets the "hunger" for light and starts dying from
the lack of it. Cloak pleads with Mister Negative to give him the
touch. He surprisingly agrees, altering Cloak's abilities to be powered
by light. Cloak feeds Dagger his light, causing an explosion. In the
aftermath it is revealed that Dagger now has Cloak's original powers,
and Cloak has Dagger's.
Powers and Abilities (Cloak and Dagger)
Cloak - Tyrone acquired D'Spayre's
Dark Form, which gave him the ability to create an aperture into the
dimension of darkness and to dispatch people into the darkness
dimension. He also gained the abilities of intangibility, and the
teleportation of himself and others through the dimension of darkness.
Cloak feels a constant "hunger" which can only be assuaged by "feeding"
either on light projected by Dagger or on light consumed from victims
dispatched to the dimension of darkness. He later develops better
control of his "hunger".
Dagger - Tandy had the ability to create psionic "light daggers" which travel
wherever she wills them, and which drain living beings of vitality when
struck. Her "light daggers" also have the capacity to cure certain
persons of drug addictions, and can alleviate Cloak's hunger for light
(which simultaneously allows her to avoid becoming overcharged). Her
powers work only on humans.
Cloak and Dagger both have moderate experience at street-fighting,
and Dagger's combat techniques utilize her light powers and ballet dance
training, as well as her sense of spatial relations, which had been
heightened by her temporary blindness.
In Other Media (Film/Movie)
- Cloak and Dagger were chosen as one of the many properties in Marvel's new film deal with Paramount Pictures, along with Captain America, Nick Fury, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Power Pack, Shang-Chi, and Black Panther.
