Cloak (Tyrone "Ty"Johnson) andDagger (Tandy Bowen) are asuperhero duo appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. Created by writerBill Mantlo and artistEd Hannigan, the characters first appeared inPeter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #64 (March 1982).
Cloak and Dagger started out as two teenagers who both ran away from home and ended up meeting each other at a fateful bus stop in New York. After being kidnapped and experimented on, they found themselves now both possessing the twin superpowers of Light and Darkness control. Cloak can teleport, manipulate Darkness, and alter his body's density from impenetrably solid to intangible, while Dagger can heal people with her light, manipulate light, create daggers of light and other light based constructs that can either heal or harm people. They can also both draw power from the emotions of those they touch, Dagger through hope and Cloak through fear.[2]
Marvel Television produced a two-seasonself-titled live-action television series set in theMarvel Cinematic Universe, withAubrey Joseph asTy Johnson andOlivia Holt asTandy Bowen. Additionally, Joseph and Holt reprised their roles in thethird season ofRunaways following the former series' cancellation.[3]
The inspiration for Cloak and Dagger came toBill Mantlo after a visit toEllis Island. He recounted, "They came in the night, when all was silent and my mind was blank. They came completely conceived as to their powers and attributes, their origin and motivation. They embodied between them all that fear and misery, hunger and longing that had haunted me on Ellis Island."[4]
Ed Hannigan, Mantlo's artist collaborator onPeter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man, recalled that he and Mantlo jointly came up with the characters' visual design: "Bill had a short page or two synopsis of the story that he showed me, and we discussed what the characters would look like. He gave me a lot of leeway, but it was fairly obvious that Cloak would be black and have a big 'animated' black cloak and Dagger would be white with a skintight leotard-type thing. I am not sure, but I think I might have come up with her ballet angle. I put the same kind of amulet/clasp on both costumes and came up with the dagger-shaped cutout on her costume, which was quite daring at the time."[4]
Cloak and Dagger first appeared inPeter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #64 (March 1982).[5][6] After a number of additional Spider-Man guest appearances, they were given their own four-issue limited series, written by creatorBill Mantlo, penciled byRick Leonardi, and inked byTerry Austin. It debuted in October 1983 and was a success, prompting Marvel Comics to launch an ongoing bi-monthlyCloak and Dagger series in 1985, with the same creative team. Costumedsupervillains rarely appeared in the series, which focused on Cloak and Dagger's quest to end the drug trade completely, and frequently explored the issue ofvigilantism.[4] Leonardi left after issue #6 and was replaced by a series of fill-in pencillers.
After issue #11, Marvel combined the bi-monthly titlesCloak and Dagger andDoctor Strange into a monthly revival of the double-feature seriesStrange Tales. The title change was accompanied byBret Blevins stepping in as both penciller and inker. Austin would briefly return, but as the series writer this time, Mantlo having ended his run with issue #6.[7] Though still successful, Cloak and Dagger's sales had been declining for some time, and Marvel's editorial staff felt that a new writer was needed to revitalize the characters.[4] Austin immediately introduced Cloak and Dagger's first nemesis,Mister Jip. In 1988, they starred inMarvel Graphic Novel #34: Cloak and Dagger: Predator and Prey, which was written by Mantlo before his departure from the series.Strange Tales ran 19 issues before Marvel decided to split Cloak and Dagger and Doctor Strange back into separate bi-monthly titles.[citation needed]
The series,The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger, was written by Austin and penciled byMike Vosburg. Dagger was renderedblind in the first issue, and her struggles to deal with this new disability were a major theme of the series. Austin did extensive research at theAmerican Foundation for the Blind so he could authentically depict the physical and psychological impacts of blindness and the coping techniques used by blind people.[8][9] With issue #14,Steve Gerber andTerry Kavanagh took over the writing, but sales began to falter and the series was canceled with issue #19.[citation needed]
The pair continued to make numerous appearances as guest stars in titles such asRunaways and the Spider-Man "Maximum Carnage" story arc, as well as starring in their own adventures in anthology titles likeMarvel Comics Presents. Cloak made a solo appearance in issues of the miniseriesHouse of M, as a member of an underground human resistance movement. It was uncertain if Dagger also existed in the altered reality of "House of M" as there were no mentions of her during that storyline.[citation needed]
They have appeared in various other Marvel Universes, one of which included a storyline where Cloak was killed.[10] Dagger also served as a member ofMarvel Knights in a short running mini-series.[11]
It was announced at the 2008San Diego Comic-Con that the team would be reappearing once again in their own five-part mini-series by writerValerie D'Orazio, with pencils by Irene Flores and colors by Emily Warren.[12][13] The series was never published.
They appeared in theDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men crossover "Utopia", in which writerMatt Fraction stated they would be presented with a chance "to have their reputations exonerated and their records sealed [if they join the Dark X-Men]." Fraction explained, "Osborn presents it to them as the ultimate public service, [in which] they can work off their past indiscretions—[such as] Cloak's dealings with the Avengers during theSkrull invasion." Fraction claimed the more appealing part ofDark X-Men was to see how Cloak and Dagger react in a real superhero team scenario.[14]
To tie in with the 2015 storyline "Secret Wars",ND Stevenson and Sanford Greene created a spin-off series based onRunaways.[citation needed]
Tyrone "Ty" Johnson (Cloak) and Tandy Bowen (Dagger) meet in New York City as runaways. Tyrone is a 17-year-old boy fromBoston,Massachusetts, with astutter who ran away from hisstruggling parents toNew York City when hisspeech impediment prevented him from stopping his friend from being shot by the police, who mistakenly believed he had just robbed a store. Tandy is a 16-year-old girl from a privileged upbringing (born inShaker Heights, Ohio) who ran away because hermulti-millionaire mother was too busy with asupermodel career and social life to spend time with her daughter. When they meet, Tyrone considers stealing Tandy's purse, but before he can, a thief steals it and Tyrone retrieves it for her. Afterwards, they have dinner and quickly become friends. When naïve Tandy accepts an offer of shelter from some strange men, wary Tyrone goes along to protect her. The two teens are soon forcibly delivered toSimon Marshall, a criminal chemist who's developing a new synthetic heroin forSilvermane and theMaggia with tests on runaway teens that have fatal results. Johnson and Bowen somehow survive injections of the drug and they flee. During their escape, the drug turns them into super-powered beings.[15] Tyrone finds himself engulfed in darkness and seized by a strange hunger that eases in the presence of Tandy who now glows with a brilliant light. Tyrone tries to hide his shadowy appearance in a makeshift cloak by absorbing Marshall's thugs into his darkness while Tandy strikes them down with daggers of light. The two teens dub themselves "Cloak & Dagger", declaring war on drug crime and helping runaway children.[15] They are aided by local priestFather Delgado and DetectiveBrigid O'Reilly.[16]
During Cloak and Dagger's travels around the world, Dagger is briefly reunited with her father, a type of guru in India who develops an ability to manipulate personal "light" like Tandy, but uses as a form of control over others to increase his own power, seemingly killing Ty when he interferes with personal plans. Cloak and Dagger oppose theLord of Light who flings himself into Cloak's portal.[17]
Later it is revealed that during this time,D'Spayre had been manipulating these events from behind the scenes.[18]
Cloak and Dagger became vigilantes which then hunt and kill Simon Marshall's drug-dealing crime-ring responsible for activating their powers. They first encounteredSpider-Man during these events.[19] They next murdered Silvermane's reanimated cyborg form in revenge.[20] They next teamed with Spider-Man to thwart thePunisher's murder attempt on theKingpin.[21]
When their activities became too damaging for the illegal drug trade, some dealers kidnapped members of theNew Mutants and tried to control them by injecting them with a drug similar to that which gave the duo their powers. For a time, they lost their powers to the heroesSunspot andWolfsbane but they cooperated in retrieving them when it was learned the others were not handling it well. Cloak and Dagger saved them with Spider-Man, but turned down an offer to join theX-Men's School for Gifted Youngsters.[22] Cloak and Dagger battled Silvermane and theAnswer. Kingpin wanted Dagger to help healVanessa Fisk, but Dagger refused to help.[23] Cloak and Dagger befriended the superpowered preteensPower Pack[24] and twice aided theNew Mutants, junior trainees of the X-Men.[25] The duo eventually learned they weremutants themselves, which is also the reason why they were the only test subjects to survive the drug's administration in the first place.[25] Though they tend to target ordinary street criminals, they have faced such diverse foes asDoctor Doom, theBeyonder,Vermin, the Zapper, the Disciplinarian, the Warlord of Kampuchea,Mephisto,Thanos, theAssembly of Evil,Firebrand, andLightmaster.
Dagger was later possessed by Night, and battledX-Factor, and lost her sight temporarily.[26] Cloak and Dagger battledHydro-Man, the secondJester, theHulk android, Rock, andFenris alongside theAvengers.[27] Dagger later regained her sight, and helped defeat Mister Jip.[28] Cloak later unknowingly met his twin sister.[29] Cloak and Dagger later battledD'Spayre, learning that he gave them their Dark Form and Light Form, which had been pieces of his soul, which interfered with their natural mutations.[18]
Cloak and Dagger played a small part in theInfinity Gauntlet saga. When Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet to sacrifice half of the population of the universe to Death, Dagger was among the superheroes who vanished. Cloak answered the summons ofAdam Warlock to join a task force of the remaining superheroes to fight Thanos.[30] During the assault on Thanos by the assembled team, Cloak pulls Thanos into the Darkforce, but is killed by him.[31] He is resurrected afterNebula claims the Gauntlet and undoes most of the preceding events.[32]
The two often lived in churches, supported by friends and priests. Cloak has run away many times, struggling to understand that Dagger is fully willing to use her light powers to help contain his darkness. Though deeply connected in their mission, Dagger sometimes yearns for more out of life. During an international case, Tandy performed with Eurocirque as Lady Light and briefly crossed paths with a supposed stowaway on a drug boat.[33] Eventually he was exposed as a criminal but ultimately sacrificed himself to save Dagger.[34] Tandy found new friends in the New Warriors who teamed with Cloak, Dagger, and other heroes to defeat the shadow-lunatic Darkling.[35] She also joined the team for a brief period, leading to further tension with Cloak.[36]
During the 1993 "Maximum Carnage" event, Cloak and Dagger teamed up withSpider-Man,Captain America,Black Cat,Nightwatch,Iron Fist,Deathlok,Morbius,Venom, andFirestar to haltCarnage and his allies' murderous rampage across New York City. Dagger was apparently killed byShriek while saving Spider-Man, but she was later revealed to be only severely wounded and recuperating within Cloak's shroud and was instrumental in defeating Carnage.
After Tyrone leaves Tandy's side, he is no longer able to control his hunger and consumes any and every lawbreaker, no matter how small the offense. While searching for him in churches she meets the Black Widow who she teams up with to prevent a church from being robbed. Daredevil later appears and both assist him on a mission he received from the Punisher.[37]
Dagger becomes a member of the now-defunct "Marvel Knights" team, partnering up with many different heroes, includingShang-Chi,Luke Cage,Moon Knight, andDaredevil. During her time with the Knights, Dagger developed a deep friendship with theBlack Widow (Natasha Romanova). Natasha brings Tandy to the guidance of Doctor Strange in the hopes of finding a crazed Tyrone. The Marvel Knights and Strange locate and battle an enhanced and deranged Cloak, during which most of the group are absorbed into his cape.[37] Strange reveals that Cloak has been possessed byNightmare. Tandy manages to overpower and absorb Cloak's powers, freeing everyone from his cape.[38]
For some time, the Black Widow lets Ty and Tandy live in her apartment, which was later attacked by a homicidalLife Model Decoy ofNick Fury. Though at this point he was a normal human, Ty managed to defeat the robot.[39]
Cloak and Dagger make their return inRunaways, in which Tyrone appears repowered and stable. At one stage, the LAPD recruited the team to locate theRunaways. During their initial encounter, Dagger quickly knocked outNico Minoru with her light and Cloak easily absorbedChase Stein,Karolina Dean,Alex Wilder, and Nico.Gertrude Yorkes was able to halt Dagger's light attacks with her dinosaurOld Lace, as Dagger's light had no effect on animals, andMolly Hayes managed to pull Cloak's cloak from his body, severing his connection to the Darkforce. This caused a ceasefire, during which time Gertrude and Molly explained to Cloak and Dagger that the LAPD were actually corrupt and under the control of the Runaways' supervillain parents, thePride. Cloak managed to reconnect to his cloak and rescue the Runaways he had absorbed, and he and Dagger both promised to return to New York and bring back the Avengers to stop the Pride and rescue the Runaways. However, the traitor in the Runaways—Alex—instead contacted the LAPD, which had the Pride erase Tandy's and Ty's actual memories of the group, thus preventing them from helping the Runaways.[40]
Cloak was later impersonated by Reginald Mantz who was using Mutant Growth Hormone to replicate Cloak's powers. Mantz, stalked and attacked Dagger, leaving her hospitalized. After a fight with theNew Avengers led to him sustaining a blow to the head, Cloak regained his memories and requested the Runaways' assistance in clearing his name, as he had been framed for attacking Dagger. Cloak appealed to the fact that they all shared bonds in being runaways and explains the reasons he and Dagger never helped them as planned. They agreed to help, and successfully helped Cloak apprehend his impostor, the delusional orderly, Reginald Mantz, who believed that he and Tandy were in a relationship.[41]
Cloak and Dagger are revealed to be members ofCaptain America's faction of super heroes who oppose theSuperhuman Registration Act during the 2006 "Civil War" storyline.[42]
Cloak is shot byS.H.I.E.L.D. tranquilizers while teleporting Captain America and the rebel faction to a chemical plant where they believed a catastrophic accident had taken place. It turns out to be a trap set byIron Man waiting with the pro-registration faction. Dagger is hit with a lightning attack by a clone ofThor.[43]
It is then revealed that the pair were captured during a mission in Queens and jailed in theNegative Zone prison.[44] They are freed byHulkling, who was disguised as the pro-registrationHank Pym,[45] which leads to the climactic battle between the two sides, both of which Cloak teleports toTimes Square, New York.[46]
During the "Secret Invasion" storyline,Luke Cage calls Cloak who drops theNew Avengers at the top of Stark Tower to steal one of Tony Stark's quinjets. When Cage offers to take him with them to find the downedSkrull ship, Cloak refuses, and vanishes.[47]
During the "Dark Reign" storyline,Norman Osborn tracks down Tandy and Tyrone in Colombia, burning down drug fields and approaches them to join his new team of X-Men. Initially against it, as they know of Osborn's past and do not consider themselves mutants, Osborn tells them that they can take their war on drugs to a global scale as well as having no trouble with police anymore. Dagger agrees to the deal for them both, but Cloak remains hesitant.[48]
Cloak and Dagger are later recruited into theDark X-Men by Osborn.[49] AfterEmma Frost's andNamor's betrayal of the team, Emma offers them the opportunity to join the real X-Men and their exodus from the US, to which both instantly agree.[50] During their time with the X-Men, Cloak becomes involved with Wolverine's plan to killRomulus along withBruce Banner andSkaar.[51] Dagger is kidnapped and Romulus orders her to be beaten. Wolverine and Cloak manage to save her, and Wolverine kills her kidnapper, much to her chagrin. However, she tells Tyrone to continue helping Wolverine, as he needs his help.[52] Aiding Wolverine, Cloak uses his power to trap Romulus in the Darkforce.[53] However, Romulus later escapes and fights with Wolverine and Cloak.[54]
After doing tests on Dagger,Doctor Nemesis confirms that they are not mutants, disappointing her as she enjoyed being on a team. It is revealed later that Tyrone was cheating on her with Tia, a girl from his old neighborhood. Eventually, Tia reveals that she knows his secret identity as Cloak and has him kidnapped, torturing him to keep him from using his powers. Dagger becomes worried after he does not return home after a few days and manages to track him down. With the help of X-MenAnole and Dr. Nemesis, she fights off his captors whereupon Tia reveals that she has powers as well and has been brainwashed to hate them. Tia manages to escape the fight and Tandy and Tyrone decide to leave Utopia and the X-Men and return to New York to work on rekindling their relationship.[55]
In the "Spider-Island" storyline as Cloak and Dagger are established to have been left homeless after their home was determined by authorities to be in violation of building codes. They then were confronted by the Avengers who informed them about the present spider problem at hand. It is 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".[56] AfterMister Negative hears of a prophecy that he is destined to be killed by Dagger, he kidnaps her and corrupts her with his negative touch; her powers are changed, now working through the Darkforce.[57] Similar to Cloak, she gets the "hunger" for light and starts dying from the lack of it. Cloak pleads with 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.[58] This change in powers recalls the reference to D'Spayre's influence on their life, as according to him in the final issue of their original run, these were the power sets they were always originally meant to have, but D'Spayre interfered, resulting in Cloak and Dagger having 'reversed' power sets, and considered weaker than what they would have been had D'Spayre not gotten involved in their lives.[18]
Following theSecret Wars storyline as part of theAll-New, All-Different Marvel' initiative, Cloak and Dagger have returned, still using the other's powers, but are now evil due to the corrupting influence of Mister Negative. Although Martin Li was arrested at some point, Cloak and Dagger have been using Shade patches, which dose them with a drug that stimulates the effects of Negative's touch, ensuring that their criminal personas will 'remain' loyal to him, breaking him out of the prison ship where Li was being kept and restoring him to Negative to lead an assault onParker Industries in Japan.[59] Although Peter is able to escape being corrupted by Negative thanks to Negative's prior corruption of Spider-Man, Cloak and Dagger manage to help Negative escape when Peter tracks them to his Hong Kong headquarters by secretly placing a Spider-Tracer on Cloak.[60] Using this tracer, Peter is able to inject Cloak with a cure for Shade that he later uses to cure Dagger, apparently restoring their original powers. Although Negative has escaped, Cloak and Dagger decide to remain in Hong Kong to guard it from any future attacks.[61]
During the "Blood Hunt" storyline, Cloak is among the Darkforce users who lose control of their powers, blocking out the sun and enabling a vampire invasion.[62] With Cloak indisposed, Dagger is left to battle the vampires on her own.[63][64]
Cloak and Dagger both have moderate experience at street fighting. Dagger's combat techniques utilize her Lightforce powers and ballet-dance training as well as her sense of spatial relations, which had been heightened by her temporary blindness.[65]
The two temporarily swapped powers in "Spider-Island", with Cloak using light powers and Dagger using Darkforce daggers.[66] When Parker Industries uses an antidote on Mister Negative, the pair swap back to their original powers.[61]
Tyrone Johnson acquiredD'Spayre's Dark Form, which gave him the ability to create an aperture into theDarkforce dimension and to dispatch people into the dimension.[67] He also gained the abilities of intangibility and the teleportation of himself and others through the Darkforce.[65] People enveloped by Cloak's darkness feel numbing cold and experience terrifying visions of their own greatest fears and nightmares. Prolonged exposure to the darkness can drive people insane. Cloak can teleport by entering the Darkforce, moving a short distance within it and emerging back on Earth a great distance from his point of origin. A span of miles on Earth can be traversed in only a few steps via shortcuts through the Darkforce. As Cloak, Tyrone is usually intangible, though he can solidify through an act of will, or by absorbing enough "light" to saturate his form temporarily. 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.[68] He later develops better control of his hunger. In addition, he can mentally see the fears of certain people he touches.[citation needed]
Tandy has the ability to create a multitude of light daggers from the Lightforce which travel wherever she wills them.[69] The daggers 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 (simultaneously allowing her to avoid becoming overcharged).[70] She can even mentally see the hopes of certain people by touching them.[citation needed]
Cloak and Dagger were considered latentmutants in earlier appearances, whose powers were activated when they were injected with an experimental illegal drug.[22] In later years, they have been listed as mutates, meaning that their powers were derived from an external mutagenic source. This designation was used for them in theCivil War: Battle Damage Report.[71] Some mutants, such asSunfire,Polaris, andThunderbird, also required external stimuli to awaken their latent powers.[citation needed]
Uncanny X-Men writerMatt Fraction said, "No, they don't [think of themselves as part of the mutant community], and that's the thing: in a time when there are so few mutants left, can they afford to not at least acknowledge the existence of this community, this family?"[14] In theUtopia crossover, when recruited byNorman Osborn as part of his "Dark X-Men", Cloak and Dagger comment that they are not mutants.[48] This is confirmed byDoctor Nemesis, who runs a full range of genetics scans on Dagger, reporting that her powers were derived solely from the drug that changed her and Cloak.[55]
Alternate universe versions of Cloak and Dagger from Earth-295 who were brainwashed into joining theSinister Six appear inAge of Apocalypse.[78]
An alternate universe version of Cloak from Earth-58163 appears inHouse of M. This version is a member of Luke Cage's resistance against the mutant-led society and regards him as a father figure.[79]
Dagger features in an arc ofRobert Kirkman'sMarvel Team-Up vol. 3, featuring a group of C-list heroes dubbed "The League of Losers". A group of heroes includingSpeedball,Darkhawk, Dagger,Araña,Gravity,X-23,Sleepwalker, andTerror go to the future to prevent the villain Chronok from stealingReed Richards' time machine, Chronok having come to the present and already having killed all of Marvel's major heroes.[80]
