History Series / CloakAndDagger2018

* ScrewDestiny: Invoked by Tandy in the climax of the season one finale. Possibly subverted in that [[spoiler: part of Tandy's screw destiny appeal was that she and Ty were so linked they were practically one person and O'Reilly, who was followed throughout the series as she interacted with Tandy and Ty, was also marked on both shoulders (by her jacket's white stripes) even before Ty and Tandy each got marked on their opposite shoulders. O'Reilly technically fulfills all the criteria for the sacrifice and died getting Tandy/Ty to the Roxxon core where they ended the threat. So did they really screw destiny via their powers or was it just an unrecognized ProphecyTwist?
** There's also the possibility that the screwing came from Tyrone and Tandy being willing to die together while the previous incarnations all accepted that only one needed to die.]]

---> '''Tyrone''': It's like you think if you think I don't do everything perfectly you're gonna lose me.\\

Tandy Bowen (Creator/OliviaHolt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) are emotionally damaged teenagers with fantastic abilities that appear to be triggered by one another and which they must keep secret from others: Tandy [[LightEmUp forms and manipulates light constructs]], while Tyrone can [[{{Teleportation}} teleport]] and [[LivingShadow cover himself (and others) in darkness]]. When a chance meeting brings Tandy and Tyrone together, their lives become a lot more complicated then they already were.

''Cloak and Dagger'' is a {{superhero}}/{{romance}} series airing on Creator/{{Freeform}}, based on the Creator/MarvelComics [[ComicBook/CloakAndDagger characters of the same name]]. Like many other shows produced by Marvel Television, it is set within the expansive Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, alongside Creator/{{ABC}}'s ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' and the ''[[Series/TheDefenders2017 Defenders]]'' franchise on Creator/{{Netflix}}.

* PersonalityPowers: Inverted. Tandy, who runs from every situation and never believes anyone has any good in them, gains light daggers and the ability to see hopes. Tyrone, who attacks first and has trouble understanding how people can be cruel, gains shadow teleportation and the ability to see fears. They even note that if Tyrone had gotten Tandy's daggers he would have already killed someone, and if Tandy had gotten Tyrone's shadows she would be long gone.

* DownToTheLastPlay: Tyrone's finals basketball game in "Princeton Offense" comes down to one last shot with seconds left on the clock. [[spoiler:Tyrone misses the shot after his powers go haywire and make him see his opponents' fears (being in a war zone, killed by a gang, beaten by an abusive father), leading to Tyrone choosing to miss the shot.]]

---> '''Tyrone:''' Watch your mouth, pull your pants up, take your hoodie down, [[SuddenlyShouting WHEN DOES IT END?!]] Even if I do everything perfect they could still come after me, so why be perfect? Why not stand up for the world they way it should be?

* CharacterDevelopment: The majority of Season 1 is given over to Tandy and Tyrone's personal development after receving their powers.

* DownerEnding: [[spiler: Season 2 Episode 6, which ends with Tandy filled with Despair.]]

* EmotionalPowers: Tandy and Tyrone's powers have one limitation. They run on the emotion they draw out in others. Hope for Tandy and Fear for Tyrone. [[spoiler: So when Tandy [[NightmareFuel looses her Hope in 2x07]] she looses her powers.]]

In addition to Holt and Joseph, the series also features Andrea Roth as Melissa Bowen, Tandy's mother attempting to adapt to a new life; Gloria Reuben as Adina Johnson, Tyrone's mother who spends more time improving her son's life than she does loving him; Miles Mussenden as Otis Johnson, Tyrone's father stuck at a desk job for his family's sake; Carl Lundstedt as Liam, Tandy's partner-in-crime masquerading as a boyfriend; James Saito as Dr. Bernard Sanjo, who serves as an emotional cornerstone in Tyrone's life; J.D. Evermore as Detective Connors, who hides a close secret with an intimidating persona; Noëlle Renée Bercy as Evita Fusilier, a classmate of Tyrone's who has her own part to play; and Emma Lahana as Detective Brigid O'Reilly, who might be the only good cop in the NOPD.

* DraggedOffToHell: Another of Cloak's classic powers [[spoiler: brought over from the comics. Tyrone's powers are strictly non-lethal, a fact he dislikes. However, he does demonstrate the power to envelop a person (Connors) in his darkness and drag them into his Cloak. In the source comics he drags them into the Darkforce when he does that, but the involvement of the Darkforce has yet to be confirmed by canon. What we do know is that Tyrone's power trappes people in a NeverendingTerror.]]

* FemmeFatalons: Mayhen has these. Though they're short enough to go around in public without drawing attention, they're obserdly sharp and can slice a persons' skin and muscle like nothing.
