The pair of teenage runaway superheroes now have their own Freeform TV Cloak and Dagger now have their own TV show debuting on Freeform on June 7, starring Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph as the teen heroes of the title. The series is based on the comic book characters who first debuted in 1982 in a Spider-Man comic actually!.According to Freeform, the show is about the following "Teenagers Tyrone and Tandy are awakened to newly acquired superpowers which are mysteriously linked to one another." That basically sounds like the comics version of the characters, though the show is set in post-Katrina New Orleans. Tandy Bowen Holt and Tyrone Johnson Joseph play teenagers who gained their powers as children after a Roxxon Corporation accident. Read our spoiler-free review of the Cloak and Dagger series premiere where did Cloak and Dagger come from in the first place? Allow us to fill in the blanks from the comicsâŠMarvel Cinematic Universe Every Upcoming Movie and TV Show Cloak and Dagger Explained The BasicsThe crusading pair represents part of another influx of socially relevant characters that cropped up in the early â80s, much like a previous wave had debuted about a decade earlier. Cloak and Daggerâs heroism was forged on the streets as they popped up in a number of guest appearances alongside Marvel flagship star Spider-Man their first appearance was in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man 64 in 1982 before getting a limited series of their own. That led to an ongoing monthly title and then a slew of publication twists and turns over the years as Cloak and Dagger became somewhat lesser but not insignificant players in the larger landscape of the Marvel Universe. Cloak and Dagger's first appearance left, and their first limited series rightAlthough they have fought more fanciful villains during their careers, their origins dictated that they would become heroes of the downtrodden, the homeless, and the hopeless, and their enemies tend to be members of drug cartels and organized crime like Marvelâs long-standing Mafia variant, the Maggia. Their deep ties to the themes of drug addiction and despair wait for it give them a darker and slightly more realistic motivation to combat evil, even if their personas are still fairly fantasy-oriented. Cloak and Dagger's Powers and AbilitiesCloak and Daggerâs powers reflect their general personas of shadow and light. Cloak can displace foes into a dimension of darkness via his cloak, which provides a portal to that nether region. He can also use that dimension for travel, transporting himself and anyone else that he wishes to take with him. Cloak can also become intangible or ghost-like, and his wraith-like or vampiric existence extends to his need to feed on light, which is either taken from those he defeats or provided to him by for Dagger herself, she projects and fires light daggers that sap energy and can also serve as food to satiate Cloakâs hunger; the daggers can even help others struggling with addiction as well. Dagger has some experience as a dancer that aids her in battle, and she also went through a period of blindness that still informs her skills. Itâs also important to note that they are not mutants - since their powers came from exposure to an outside agent a drug, they are considered mutates, despite early conflicting representations of their status. In recent years, they also spent some time with their powers flipped after the events of the âSpider-Islandâ story, but as of this writing, Cloak and Dagger are back to their usual power and Dagger Origin and BackgroundThe demon known as DâSpayre subtle is largely responsible for Tandy and Tyrone becoming Cloak and Dagger, although that part of their origin wasnât initially known. Two runaways from very different backgrounds - he was a stuttering Bostonian who witnessed a friend killed by a cop, she was a rich girl whose self-absorbed mother just never paid attention to her - the teens were abducted by a criminal syndicate that performed synthetic drug experiments on them. When they escaped, they discovered they had been permanently transformed by the experience. At first it was believed their powers were latent mutant abilities activated by their exposure to the drug, but eventually they learned that DâSpayre had orchestrated everything, imbuing them with energies of the Dark and Light Forms. Tandy Bowen/Dagger and Tyrone Johnson/CloakThe pair would show up in various Marvel books over the years, occasionally working with fellow youngsters like the New Mutants or Power Pack or the Runaways. And they also encountered more traditional supervillain foes at times; they met the Beyonder during Secret Wars II and helped in the battle against Thanos during the Infinity Gauntlet story. More recently, they briefly joined the Dark X-Men and later, finally joined the actual X-Men for a hot minute.âŠOh, and for anyone keeping score, Cloak and Dagger took Captain Americaâs side in the now legendary first Civil War. Theyâre good How Cloak and Dagger's History Could Be Portrayed on the TV ShowItâs very possible that some of what we just covered here - especially the whole DâSpayre angle - might not be as important to the TV series as the Ultimate Universe variation of this team, in which the two were on their way to the prom but gravely injured in accident; this led to their bodies being used for experimentation with dark matter by a corrupt corporation you know, that old chestnut. Far from being dead, Tandy and Tyrone become Cloak and Dagger there too, and although the television showâs premise would seem to rule out the prom date - it would seem that privileged rich kid Tandy loses her parents in a storm and encounters an aloof Tyrone, who then finds new meaning in their budding relationship - we can at least say that the notion of the two characters being romantically linked from the beginning comes more from the Ultimate version of things.

Aktivis Kaskus Posts 507 Pertama kali diperkenalkan dalam komik Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man 64 pada Maret 1982, Cloak dan Dagger tumbuh dan menjelma menjadi duo superhero yang populer dan beberapa kali membintangi judul komiknya sendiri. Seperti superhero Marvel lainnya, Cloak dan Dagger juga membawa sebuah pesan yang mulia. Jika X-Men melambangkan toleransi, maka Cloak dan Dagger melambangkan generasi muda yang memerangi penyalahgunaan Narkoba. Jadi, siapakah Cloak & Dagger? Bagaimana asal usulnya? Kekuatan macam apa yang mereka miliki? Asal Usul Cloak & Dagger Tyrone Johnson Cloak yang berusia 17 tahun dan Tandy Bowen Dagger yang berusia 16 tahun merupakan dua remaja yang memiliki latar belakang yang jauh berbeda. Keduanya didera masalah yang begitu rumit hingga akhirnya memutuskan untuk kabur dari rumahnya masing-masing. Tyrone yang miskin dan menderita gangguang berbicara kabur karena merasa bersalah atas tragedi yang menimpa sahabatnya yang tewas ditembak polisi, sedangkan Tandy yang hidup dalam dalam keadaan yang berkecukupan kabur karena merasa tidak lagi diperhatikan oleh sang ibu yang terlalu sibuk menjalani karirnya sebagai supermodel. Takdir mempertemukan dua remaja yang kabur ini setelah Tyrone mengembalikan dompet milik Tandy yang dicopet, keduanya akhirnya berteman. Semua berubah ketika seseorang yang tak dikenal mengajak dua remaja yang polos ini untuk menginap disebuah penampungan khusus anak-anak gelandangan. Tanpa disadari, Tyrone dan Tandy ternyata dijebak dan dijadikan kelinci percobaan untuk narkoba jenis baru yang diciptakan oleh sindikat kriminal Maggia. Narkoba jenis baru ini memiliki efek yang mematikan, hampir semua remaja yang dijadikan kelinci percobaan dalam proyek super illegal ini tewas. Karena memiliki genetik yang unik, Tyrone dan Tandy berhasil bertahan hidup dan pada akhirnya, berhasil meloloskan diri. Alih-alih mabuk kepayang, kedua remaja ini malah terbangun dengan membawa kekuatan super yang misterius. Tyrone memiliki kekuatan dari elemen kegelapan, sedangkan Tandy memiliki kekuatan dari elemen cahaya. Dalam versi lain, tepatnya versi komik Ultimate Earth-1610, Tyrone dan Tandy diceritakan jatuh koma setelah mengalami kecelakaan lalu lintas. Sebuah laboratorium yang dinaungi oleh perusahaan Roxxon akhirnya melakukan ekperimen "Dark Matter" terhadap Tyrone dan Tandy yang jatuh koma, sehingga keduanya mendapat kekuatan super. Dalam trailer Cloak & Dagger yang dirilis beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita bisa melihat Tyrone Cloak berada disebuah atap bangunan milik perusahaan Roxxon. Alih-alih mendapat kekuatan karena "disuntik narkoba", sepertinya kekuatan Tandy dan Tyrone dalam serial 'Cloak & Dagger' akan terlahir dari ekperimen Dark Matter yang diprakarsai oleh perusahaan Roxxon. Kekuatan Cloak & Dagger Kekuatan Cloak Setelah mendapat kekuatan super, tubuh Tyrone Johnson Cloak diselimuti oleh energi kegelapan, makanya Tyrone mengenakan jubah untuk menyembunyikan wujud terbarunya. Jubah Cloak juga berfungsi sebagai konduit dari energi Darkforce. Cloak memiliki kemampuan untuk memanipulasi energi Darkforce yang berasal dari Darkforce Dimension. Darkforce Dimension dimensi kegelapan adalah sebuah dimensi yang suram, gelap, dingin dan dihuni oleh mahluk-mahluk mengerikan. Konon, kekuatan Cloak terlahir berkat campur tangan iblis D'Spayre. Darkforce Dimension Lewat koneksinya terhadap Darkforce, Cloak mampu melakukan... Teleportasi Inilah kemampuan yang sangat sering dipamerkan Cloak. Cloak mampu menteleportasikan dirinya dan orang lain dengan menjadikan Darkforce Dimension sebagai jalan pintas. Cloak menghisap anggota Runaways kedalam jubahnya Menyerap Seseorang kedalam Darkforce Dimension Koneksi terhadap Darkforce menjadikan Cloak sebagai pintu gebang Darkforce Dimension. Dengan ini, Cloak mampu menyerap dan mengurung seseorang dalam Darkforce Dimension. Saat seseorang terjebak dalam Darkforce Dimension, energi kehidupannya akan terhisap secara perlahan. Membuat Medan Energi Kegelapan Cloak juga mampu menyalurkan energi Darkforce untuk membuat medan kegelapan. Orang yang terjebak dalam medan kegelapan akan dihantui rasa takut, kedinginan, bahkan lumpuh. Terlalu lama terpapar medan kegelapan bisa membuat seseorang jadi gila. Mode "Hantu" Intangibility Cloak bisa menjadikan tubuhnya tak tersentuh, layaknya hantu. Dalam mode ini, Cloak juga mampu melewati objek solid layaknya.... hantu! Bersembunyi dalam Kegelapan Cloak mampu bersembunyi dengan sangat baik dalam bayangan/kegelapan, seakan-akan dirinya menyatu dengan kegelapan tersebut. Hal ini disebabkan oleh fisiologi tubuhnya yang unik. Kelemahan Cloak Terhubung langsung dengan Darkforce membuat Cloak terus merasa lapar, namun bukan lapar terhadap makanan biasa, melainkan lapar akan energi cahaya. Untungnya, Dagger yang terkoneksi dengan Lifeforce mampu menembakkan energi cahaya yang dapat mengurangi rasa lapar Cloak. Kedua superhero ini bisa dibilang saling ketergantungan satu sama lain. Kekuatan Dagger Bagaikan Yin dan Yang, jika Cloak jadi elemen kegelapan, maka Dagger jadi elemen cahaya. Tubuh Dagger Tandy Bowen mampu menghasilkan "cahaya hidup" yang ternyata merupakan energi kehidupan Lifeforce. Semua orang memiliki energi kehidupan, hanya saja Dagger memproduksinya secara berlebih. Dengan Lightforce-nya, Dagger mampu melakukan hal-hal keren yang tidak kita duga sebelumnya. Belati Cahaya Dagger mampu menciptakan belati dari energi cahaya Lightforce. Bagaikan Dart, biasanya Dagger melemparkan belatinya. Saat mengenai seseorang, belati cahaya Dagger dapat menyerap sedikit energi kehidupan dari orang tersebut. Dagger Dagger's Detoxifikasi Lightforce Dagger mampu menetralkan racun dalam tubuh seseorang. Kerennya lagi, Lightforce Dagger juga mampu menyembuhkan orang yang kecanduan narkoba. Manipulasi Lightforce Dagger terkadang jadi "senter" karena mampu menghasilkan cahaya yang terang benderang. Dagger juga mampu menembakkan energi cahaya untuk mengurangi rasa lapar Cloak. Agility Semenjak kecil, Dagger sudah mempelajari tarian ballet. Hal ini membuat pergerakannya tubuhnya jadi begitu lincah. Kelemahan Dagger Produksi energi kehidupan yang berlebih memaksa Dagger untuk terus menggunakan kekuatannya. Saat sama sekali tidak menggunakan kekuatannya, Dagger akan merasa demam dan tubuhnya jadi lemah. Itulah asal-usul, kekuatan dan kelemahan Cloak dan Dagger. Dalam komik, Cloak dan Dagger dikenal sebagai superhero tingkat jalanan dan cukup sering bekerjasama dengan para superhero Marvel lainnya, duo superhero ini sangat dekat dengan Spider-Man, pernah bekerjasama dengan X-Men, New Mutants, Avengers dan Runaways. Serial Cloak & Dagger yang dibintang oleh Aubrey Joseph The Night Of sebagai Tyrone Johnson/Cloak dan Olivia Holt Kickinâ It sebagai Tandy Bowen/Dagger akan ditayangkan pada tahun 2018 mendatang. Sinopsis Serial Cloak & Dagger Spoiler for Sinopsis Serial Cloak and Dagger "Serial Cloak and Dagger akan menceritakan kisah cinta birasial antara Tandy Bowen dan Tyrone Johnson, dua remaja dengan latar belakang yang jauh berbeda. Dua remaja yang mulai saling jatuh cinta ini secara misterius terbangun dengan membawa kekuatan super.

Keduanya menyadari bahwa mereka akan lebih baik jika bersama daripada saling terpisah - perasaan satu sama lain membuat dunia mereka yang rumit jadi semakin menantang."

Freeform's new Marvel series, Cloak & Dagger, immediately caught our attention due to its intense trailer alone. The show follows Tyrone and Tandy, played by newcomer Aubrey Joseph and Disney Channel alum Olivia Holt, respectively, as they discover their own supernatural abilities while navigating life as teenagers. My kind of TV drama, if I'm being honest. Critics who have already screened the first four episodes have given the show fairly decent reviews, which has us even more eager for the premiere on June 7. If the show follows the comics, there's bound to be plenty of action and high tension between Tyrone Cloak and Tandy Dagger who have an interesting dynamic as they come from completely opposite backgrounds. As the story goes, their worlds collide when Tyrone saves Tandy from a potential robbery. They form a friendship as two teenage runaways and find themselves being used as lab rats for a new synthetic heroin after accepting an offer for shelter from a strange man. Tandy and Tyrone are eventually able to escape the criminal chemist known as Simon Marshall in the comics, and quickly realize that the side effects of the illegal drugs have aided them with superhuman abilities. Now free from captivity, Tyrone has the ability to manipulate darkness. His body is a portal to what's known as the "Darkforce Dimension," a world of strange ebony energy, according to his official Marvel bio. He uses his powers to cloak his targets, usually minions of Marshall's, in complete darkness. He also wears a makeshift cloak to hide his "shadowy appearance." As Cloak, Tyrone is usually intangible and can create fields of darkness around him. Those enveloped by his powers may feel a cold numbing sensation in addition to crippling fear. They may also see "disturbing visions." Overlong exposure to his cloak of darkness can drive his victims insane and eventually cause fatalities unless he releases them. Tandy's mutant powers are the polar opposite of Tyrone's. According to her official Marvel bio, the troubled teenager "gained the ability to project light in the form of energy daggers, which she used to subdue Tyrone's darkness." In the comics, Tandy goes by Dagger, and her light renders her "largely immune to Cloak's darkness, and she can extend her light to protect others within Cloak's darkness if need be." These two are definitely a force to be reckoned with, and we, for one, can't wait to see how their superpowers are portrayed on the small screen!
