Product Backstory Tandy Bowen was a sixteen-year-old who was neglected by her mother and felt distanced from her new stepfather. She ran away from home to New York City, and once there, she met Tyrone Johnson, a fellow runaway. The two teens became fast friends, and when the naive Tandy accepted an offer of shelter from some strange men, a wary Tyrone went along to protect her. Soon, they were forcibly delivered to criminal chemist Simon Marshall.
Marshall was developing a new synthetic heroin for the Maggia, testing it on runaway teens with fatal results. Johnson and Bowen were able to escape, though not before they were injected with Marshall's drug, which awakened latent mutant abilities in both of them. Tyrone found himself compelled to drain the life-force of others by enveloping them in the darkness of his cloak, while Tandy gained the ability to project light in the form of energy daggers, which she used to subdue Tyrone's darkness. The two decided to use their powers to protect the streets from men like Marshall, and became known as Cloak and Dagger.
