Powers & Paraphenalia

Strength Level: Normal Human

Powers: Cloak is a living shadow, a gateway to a dimension of "Darkness". The "Darkness" is neither good nor evil, but can be used for either. Cloak has at times been portrayed as having a living predator living within his "Darkness". In addition, he can teleport. Tandy is the personification of "Light", and can generate knife-like projectiles from her own abundant "Light."

Abilities: Both appear to be virtually immortal. "Killed" by Shriek during Maximum Carnage, Tandy was able to re-assemble herself. As a living portal to another dimension, Cloak cannot be touched or physically harmed.

Equipment: None

Weapons: None

Limitations: Cloak has to constantly struggle against his own insecurities, which sometimes allow others such as Nightmare, Mr. Jip or his inner predator to control him. Dagger can over-exert herself, depleting herself of energy.

Background

Initially they used their powers to track down and attempt to destroy Silvermane and others who dealt in drugs. They made an enemy of the Kingpin, and Fisk's scientists tried to duplicate Cloak's abilities. The result was a terrifying new super-criminal called...The Spot. Their most famous moment was participating in the Maximum Carnage crisis. After Carnage, Shriek, Demogoblin, Doppelganger and Carrion II began a mass riot in Manhattan, the two joined with Spider-Man, Venom, Captain America, the Black Cat and others to end the slaughter. Shriek in particular seemed to recognise Cloak, thinking that she may have encountered him when she was a small time drug dealer. Dagger seemed to be killed during the riot, but she got better by the end.

Later, Tandy persuaded Cloak to use less than extreme violence, with mixed results. Cloak went on to join the Anti-Registration forces during the Superhuman Civil War, caused by the Superhuman Registration Act. His leader was Captain America, who needed Cloak to teleport the whole rebellious forces out of thier hideout after it was invaded by Iron Man and his allies. Cloak pulled it off, but he could only take such a huge number of people so far, eventually dumping them in Times Square. Thats where the final battle of the Civil War took place, which resulted in Cap's surrender.
