The Creator/MarvelComics characters of Cloak and Dagger have had five self-titled comic books so far:
''Cloak and Dagger'' Vol 1 (1983–1984) was a four-issue mini-series written by Creator/BillMantlo, with art by Rick Leonardi. This was Cloak and Dagger's first mini-series and introduced a number of recurring characters, like Father Francis Delgado and police detective Brigid O'Reilly. The story was about Tyrone and Tandy trying to live in the harsh city and help people with their powers, even while those powers go astray. The fourth issue told their full origin story.
''Cloak and Dagger'' Vol 2 (1985–1987) was a continuation of the mini-series, still written by Bill Mantlo, with art by Rick Leonardi. Their series continued the story of Tyrone and Tandy, as well as the story of Brigid O'Reilly, who dies and then becomes Mayhem. The series lasted eleven issues and contained a tie-in to ''ComicBook/SecretWarsII''.
''Cloak and Dagger'' Vol 3 (1988–1991) (also known as the ''Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger'') was written by Terry Austin, with art by Dan Lawlis. It took on a more supernatural bent, with them fighting against the evil sorcerer Mr Jip, the villainess Ecstasy, and even participating in the crossovers ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'' and ''ComicBook/ActsOfVengeance''. They also gained a new friend in police detective Rebecca "Rusty" Nales, a friend of Brigid O'Reilly. The series was later co-written by Steve Gerber, with artwork returning to Rick Leonardi. The series lasted nineteen issues and, ironically, the last issue retold their origin, just like the original mini-series.
''Cloak and Dagger'' Vol 4 (2010) was a one-shot written by Stuart Moore, with art by Mark Brooks. Now members of the X-Men during the Utopia era, Cloak and Dagger struggle to fit in.
''Cloak and Dagger'' Vol 5 (2018–2019) was a six-issue mini-series written by Creator/DennisHallum, with art by David Messina. Tyrone and Tandy have drifted apart and a new villain, the Grey, decides to take advantage of this.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Volume 1 & 2]]
* AsTheGoodBookSays: Their series started off each splash page with a paraphrased quote above the title. Psalm 139:12-14. "The darkness and light are both alike... I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
* TheBigRottenApple: A lot of the book takes a look at drugs and prostitution in New York City, especially since this was the '80s.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: As revealed in volume 2, all persons absorbed through Cloak's darkness are sent to a demon by the name of Predator. It first uses nightmarish illusions to cause victims to despair, then feeds on their lifeforce. It is immortal and seemingly all-powerful in its home dimension. Until #10 of the series, when Cloak sends Doctor Doom to the Predator. He fails to despair, quickly overpowers the demon, and leaves it in severe pain. He then simply steps out of the darkness back into the real world, something which typically required outside assistance for prisoners of the Darkforce.
* FriendOnTheForce: Brigid O'Reilly, until she becomes Mayhem.
* HomeBase: Their home base was the Holy Ghost Church, an abandoned church they had found.
* NuclearNullifier: One issue has the heroic duo teleport to Latveria, where they discover that Doctor Doom has a device that exploits thunderstorms to render the world's nuclear devices inert. He remains unswayed when informed that radiation treatments for cancer patients are likewise nullified.
* TimeMarchesOn: Looking at their old 80s issues, certain aspects of New York City like Times Square being a den of drugs and porn, seems almost laughable when comparing it to how it is today.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Volume 3]]
* FriendOnTheForce: Rebecca "Rusty" Nales, a friend of Brigid O'Reilly's.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A 1991 storyline introduced Cloak's twin sister, Anna Johnson. She was a vagrant with [[DistressBall Danger Prone]] tendencies, which led to her having nasty encounters with neo-Nazis, demons, and arsonists. As of her last appearance, later that year, she was scared and hiding somewhere in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. Cloak was contacting a search for her in an effort to reconnect with his last living relative. Cloak and Dagger's title was cancelled at about this time and this plotline was never resolved.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Volume 4]]
* {{Retcon}}: Cloak and Dagger didn't start out as mutants, but after the UnfortunateImplications of drugs giving you superpowers was realized, they were quickly retconned into the drugs having merely awakened their X-genes. This one-shot, however, re-retcons that so that they are no longer mutants and have no X-genes. The X-Men still offer to keep them on the team, but both Cloak and Dagger decide to leave instead.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Volume 5]]
* LifeDrinker: The Grey. It releases a fog that confuses its victims while it feeds on their life force.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Cloak and Dagger, once inseparable, have drifted apart. Specifically, Tandy has decided she wants to figure out who she is without Tyrone, even though they still have to see each other to survive.

Cloak and Dagger are a pair of superheroes in the MarvelUniverse. Originally appearing in ''[[Comicbook/SpiderMan Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' #64 (March, 1982), they were created by Creator/BillMantlo and Ed Hannigan. While never having been A-listers along the lines of ComicBook/TheMightyThor or ComicBook/IronMan, with their series often getting canceled after a very short period, they have a distinct cult following, which is somewhat tinted by nostalgia due to their [[TheEighties 1980s]] background. They often team-up with other superheroes, namely ComicBook/SpiderMan, who is a good friend. Before the series was cancelled, they also had a brief membership in the ComicBook/NewWarriors. Their most memorable recent appearances were in ComicBook/{{Runaways}} and [[ComicBook/DarkReign Dark]] ComicBook/XMen.
Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, a pair of teenage runaways, are experimented on by the mob, who are trying to create a new drug substitute for heroin. It proves fatal to all they test it on but the pair, who gain superpowers from the event. Tandy can throw daggers of light, which can also purge unhealthy chemicals from a target as well, while Tyrone's powers were [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands originally]] to suck people into a dark dimension where he would strip them of their light. Together, they battle the drug trade while trying to balance out normal lives.
In 2013, Cloak and Dagger were made part of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Universe when they debuted in ''[[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Comics Spider-Man]]'' with a new origin story. In this world, Ty Johnson and Tandy Bowen were the student council presidents of rival schools who, en route to Prom together, were involved in a vehicular accident, and then secretly taken by the Roxxon Corporation and pumped full of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dark Matter]], resulting in the explosive awakening of their powers. They have been members of the ComicBook/AllNewUltimates.
In 2016, Creator/{{Freeform}} (part of the Creator/{{Disney}} -- Creator/{{ABC}} Television Group, and sister brand to Creator/{{Marvel}}) announced they'd ordered a television series starring the duo, starring Creator/OliviaHolt as Tandy and Aubrey Joseph as Tyrone. The series, also titled ''[[Series/CloakAndDagger2018 Cloak & Dagger]]'', premiered in 2018.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderManLifeStory'' (2019).
!! Tropes Shared in Both Incarnations:
* AllEncompassingMantle: Cloak's entire name comes because he looks like a disembodied face floating in a massive, void-like hooded cape. His power set revolves around literally swallowing things into his cape-body, and he even doubles as a mode of transportation.
* BadassCape: Cloak, natch.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Cloak, for all his broodiness, withdrawn nature and overall intimidating manner, is really a nice guy once people get to know him.
* LivingShadow: Cloak's "body" is literally made up of one. Made even more explicit in the Ultimate Universe, where you can see black swirling mists emanating from the edges of Cloak's form.
* SuperCuteSuperPowers: Dagger can fling "light-knives" at foes, which can pierce armor and act like scalpels to "cut" the wickedness like tumors from her targets. These light-knife attacks appear wrenching and painful on impact, however.
* TeleportCloak: This is one of the secondary abilities of Cloak's powers.
* TeleportationSickness: Cloak's teleportation cuts through the Darkforce Dimension which literally drains people physically and mentally. People who go through it usually feel some debilitating effects if Tandy's not there to ameliorate the experience.
----
!! Tropes for Original Cloak and Dagger (Earth-616):
* AbortedArc: Their ''Spider-Island'' tie-in ended with a SequelHook suggesting confrontations a cult, D'Spayre, Nightmare, travels to other dimensions, all started by Mr. Negative attempting to delay his prophesied death at Tandy's hand, which he kicked off by using his touch to switch their powers. It's been years and nothing has come of it yet, the closest being another confrontation with Mr. Negative under a Spider-Man title again.
* AbsoluteCleavage[=/=]BareYourMidriff[=/=]CleavageWindow: Dagger's costume is a bodysuit with a dagger-shaped cutout that manages to fulfill ''all three'' [[http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/b/b0/Dagger_2.jpg at once.]] Keep in mind, Dagger started as a 16 year old.
* AsTheGoodBookSays: Their series started off each splash page with a paraphrased quote above the title. Psalm 139:12-14. "The darkness and light are both alike... I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted in their series. With the exception of Tandy's stepfather, who is more PlayedForLaughs than anything else, most of the adults who help the duo are capable and responsible. It comes full circle in Runaways when they are the only ones who get anywhere close to helping the teens.
* BeastAndBeauty
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: It's mentioned by almost every male character who lays eyes on Dagger that she looks like an angel.
* TheBigRottenApple: Since they were created in the early '80s and focused on combating drugs and prostitution, C&D spent a lot of time in this milieu. It's lampshaded in their ''Spider-Island'' miniseries, where the characters talk about how different New York is now and the old Holy Ghost Church is bulldozed for urban renewal.
* BroughtDownToNormal: This seems to happen on a regular basis if the writers think it will move the plot forward, especially to Cloak. One notable instance is when Tandy's father strips them of their powers in a HeroicSacrifice after he has a WhatHaveIBecome moment.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Mild example, but they need each other's powers to survive or they could die.
** Some writers tend to abandon this: in the ''League of Losers'' alternate future, Dagger pursued a superhero carrier after Cloak was killed.
* ChristianityIsCatholic: Their base of operations is sometimes an abandoned Catholic Church. Tandy's Uncle Mike is a priest.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Of the "made an existing villain worse". Shriek, who was introduced in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', is revealed in the second issue to have been a somewhat crazy drug-dealer whom was enveloped in Cloak's darkness... which activated her own latent mutant powers and rendered her homicidally insane, to the point she ended up in Ravencroft Asylum after going on a killing spree. And she gained InsanityImmunity to Cloak's powers in the process.
* ContagiousPowers: People directly exposed to their powers often end up getting some facsimile of them if they don't outright [[PowersAsPrograms absorb them completely]] like one story arc of ComicBook/NewMutants did. Most often occurred with Cloak [[DemonicPossession due to the nature of his powers]].
* DanceBattler: Tandy utilizes her [[IKnowMaddenKombat ballet training]] when fighting.
* DependingOnTheArtist: While Tandy gets drawn relatively consistently, the same can't be said for her partner. Cloak gets drawn looking like anything from a normal guy with his face in the shadows to a ghoulish monster that doesn't even look human anymore.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: According to Vol. 2 of the title (1985-1987) and related issues, all persons absorbed through Cloak's darkness are sent to a demon by the name of Predator. It first uses nightmarish illusions to cause victims to despair, then feeds on their lifeforce. It is immortal and seemingly all-powerful in its home dimension. Until #10 of the series, when Cloak sends Doctor Doom to the Predator. He fails to despair, quickly overpowers the demon, and leaves it in severe pain. He then simply steps out of the darkness back into the real world, something which typically required outside assistance for prisoners of the Darkforce.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: When Tandy gets brainwashed evil, her entire costume, even the ring around her eye, turns black. Cloak's costume, meanwhile [[LightIsNotGood turns white]].
* FanService: There's some for both genders here. Tandy has a skin-tight costume with most of her navel and the sides of her breasts exposed. Tyrone ends up naked when he's depowered, which tends to happen a lot.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Especially in the duo's early days, blonde Dagger was the sweet and friendly counterpart to Cloak's harsher outlook.
* HorrorHunger: Cloak (or the being living inside his cloak, depending) has this for the "light" of human lives.
* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Their entire motif. Cloak is a brooding dark-haired African guy in black who wields a cloak of darkness, while Dagger is a sweet blonde Caucasian woman in white who wields daggers of light. They not only work together but need each other, as Cloak hungers for light consumption while Dagger needs to constantly expel light, meaning both of them quell each other's urges.
* LightEmUp: Tandy's daggers are composed of pure light that can purge drug addictions.
* LightLiegeDarkDefender: Part of the duo's original dynamic. Both were somewhat insular and completely devoted to each other, but Dagger (the light wielder) was still an optimistic person, and fairly outgoing, which attracted the attention of other heroes willing to be friendly. Cloak, who is darkness personifies, was much less friendly and tended to be quite off-putting to other people. But the quickest way to find yourself getting sucked into the Dark Dimension that was his cloak was to be perceived as a threat to Dagger. Those who knew about Dagger's powers being used to keep Cloak's hunger for life energy in check often mistook the relationship for StockholmSyndrome, but Cloak proved repeatedly that he saw Dagger as more than just a convenience.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: This is the best description of their relationship. They truly love each other but usually, it's specifically stated to be platonic. In ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015: Runaways'', they actually are brother and sister.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Cloak.
* LuckyTranslation: in French their are known as "La Cape et l'Épée" ([[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] Cape and the Sword); in French, {{Swashbuckler}} genre is called "de cape et d'épée" (of cape and sword).
* MaleMightFemaleFinesse: Cloak, a MightyGlacier type hero paired with Dagger, a FragileSpeedster type with SheFu. Cloak enfolds villains and mooks in the darkness of his cloak, wherein they come face-to-face with their own wickedness. Baddies emerge quivering, terrified wrecks. Dagger is an angelic young woman who has had ballet and dance lessons, and can fling "light-knives" that can cause villainous BSOD, or "cure" substance addiction.
* MoralityGuidedAttack: This is how Cloak and Dagger vanquish adversaries. Cloak can enfold them in darkness, wherein villains encounter their own wickedness face to face, which often leaves them a quivering, neurotic wreck. Dagger can fling "light knives" which can stagger {{mooks}} and paralyze villains. Interestingly, Dagger's light knives had no effect on ComicBook/DoctorDoom, who has never regarded his actions as evil, but rather as his rightful destiny.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Dagger fulfills this trope, but she's surprisingly better proportioned than some of the superheroines in Marvel.
* NuclearNullifier: One issue has the heroic duo teleport to Latveria, where they discover that Doctor Doom has a device that exploits thunderstorms to render the world's nuclear devices inert. He remains unswayed when informed that radiation treatments for cancer patients are likewise nullified.
* PowersAsPrograms: They switch powers during the ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland'' event. Their powers are also switched in ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Runaways''. They still keep their respective Light and Dark sources to them though.
* PowersViaPossession: Cloak is covertly possessed by a demonic entity from the Darkforce Dimension known only as [[NamesToRunFromReallyFast Predator]] who compels his HorrorHunger. Sometimes he'll [[ContagiousPowers grant his powers to another, more proactive host]].
* Main/RoguesGallery: D’Spayre, Mr. Jip, Mayhem, Ecstasy, Night & Day, Nightmare (borrowed from Dr Strange), Shriek (borrowed from Spider-Man), and Mister Negative (also borrowed from Spider-Man).
* SaltAndPepper: Somewhat inverted, as Cloak is withdrawn and straitlaced, with Dagger being the one to get him out of his shell.
* ShownTheirWork: The writers did a lot of research when Dagger was blind, using many techniques utilized by the blind in real life, and even printed the names of books and people they had interviewed in their letters page.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Dagger seems to have partly inherited her powers from her biological father the Lord of Light/Nathan Tyler. He had the power to drain the life-force of other beings and manifest it as a blinding light.
* SuperSerum: They got their powers from being injected with drugs. Not the most family-friendly backstory, as was lampshaded in Runaways.
* TemporaryBlindness: Dagger has a lengthy case of it which lasts over a year, creating one of the more interesting story arcs. She learns to readjust to being both a blind person and superhero, and once she is cured, her spatial awareness is left heightened.
* TimeMarchesOn: Looking at their old 80s issues, certain aspects of New York City like Times Square being a den of drugs and porn, seems almost laughable when comparing it to how it is today.
* VagueAge: Orginally averted, as Tandy and Tyrone were said to be 16 and 17 years old, respectively, and were around the age of the New Mutants. Now, it's a little harder to pin down exactly how old they are supposed to be, but a safe estimate is at least somewhere in their 20s.
* VampiricDraining: Cloak's altered physiology demands that he regularly feed on spiritual energy, or "light", from other people. Without it, he begins suffering withdrawal-like symptoms and ultimately is compelled to feed. Light, on the other hand, has the inversion of this trope, in that she ''needs'' to be drained regularly or she becomes overwhelmed by the spiritual energy she produces in endless supply, which causes her to become extremely emotion-driven, impulsive and irrational. This is why they need to stay in close proximity at all times; Cloak is nourished by Dagger's excess light, and Dagger keeps her sanity through Cloak's feeding.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A 1991 storyline introduced Cloak's twin sister, Anna Johnson. She was a vagrant with [[DistressBall Danger Prone]] tendencies, which led to her having nasty encounters with neo-Nazis, demons, and arsonists. As of her last appearance, later that year, she was scared and hiding somewhere in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. Cloak was contacting a search for her in an effort to reconnect with his last living relative. Cloak and Dagger's title was cancelled at about this time and this plotline was never resolved.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: It's been 30 years since the pair first appeared and they ''still'' haven't fully rectified their {{UST}}. Though, to be fair, Cloak's body seems to have BarbieDollAnatomy when his powers are active, and when they aren't he and Tandy generally have more pressing matters on their mind.

Cloak and Dagger are a pair of superheroes in the MarvelUniverse. Originally appearing in ''[[Comicbook/SpiderMan Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' #64 (March, 1982), they were created by Creator/BillMantlo and Ed Hannigan. While never having been A-listers along the lines of ComicBook/TheMightyThor or ComicBook/IronMan, with their series often getting canceled after a very short period, they have a distinct cult following, which is somewhat tinted by nostalgia due to their [[TheEighties 1980s]] background. They often team-up with other superheroes, namely ComicBook/SpiderMan, who is a good friend. Before the series was cancelled, they also had a brief membership in the ComicBook/NewWarriors. Their most memorable recent appearances were in ComicBook/{{Runaways}} and [[ComicBook/DarkReign Dark]] ComicBook/XMen.
Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, a pair of teenage runaways, are experimented on by the mob, who are trying to create a new drug substitute for heroin. It proves fatal to all they test it on but the pair, who gain superpowers from the event. Tandy can throw daggers of light, which can also purge unhealthy chemicals from a target as well, while Tyrone's powers were [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands originally]] to suck people into a dark dimension where he would strip them of their light. Together, they battle the drug trade while trying to balance out normal lives.
In 2013, Cloak and Dagger were made part of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Universe when they debuted in ''[[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Comics Spider-Man]]'' with a new origin story. In this world, Ty Johnson and Tandy Bowen were the student council presidents of rival schools who, en route to Prom together, were involved in a vehicular accident, and then secretly taken by the Roxxon Corporation and pumped full of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dark Matter]], resulting in the explosive awakening of their powers. They have been members of the ComicBook/AllNewUltimates.
In 2016, Creator/{{Freeform}} (part of the Creator/{{Disney}} -- Creator/{{ABC}} Television Group, and sister brand to Creator/{{Marvel}}) announced they'd ordered a television series starring the duo, starring Creator/OliviaHolt as Tandy and Aubrey Joseph as Tyrone. The series, also titled ''[[Series/CloakAndDagger2018 Cloak & Dagger]]'', premiered in 2018.

* AllEncompassingMantle: Cloak's entire name comes because he looks like a disembodied face floating in a massive, void-like hooded cape. His power set revolves around literally swallowing things into his cape-body, and he even doubles as a mode of transportation.
* BadassCape: Cloak, natch.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Cloak, for all his broodiness, withdrawn nature and overall intimidating manner, is really a nice guy once people get to know him.
* LivingShadow: Cloak's "body" is literally made up of one. Made even more explicit in the Ultimate Universe, where you can see black swirling mists emanating from the edges of Cloak's form.
* SuperCuteSuperPowers: Dagger can fling "light-knives" at foes, which can pierce armor and act like scalpels to "cut" the wickedness like tumors from her targets. These light-knife attacks appear wrenching and painful on impact, however.
* TeleportCloak: This is one of the secondary abilities of Cloak's powers.
* TeleportationSickness: Cloak's teleportation cuts through the Darkforce Dimension which literally drains people physically and mentally. People who go through it usually feel some debilitating effects if Tandy's not there to ameliorate the experience.
----
!! Tropes for Original Cloak and Dagger (Earth-616):
* AbortedArc: Their ''Spider-Island'' tie-in ended with a SequelHook suggesting confrontations a cult, D'Spayre, Nightmare, travels to other dimensions, all started by Mr. Negative attempting to delay his prophesied death at Tandy's hand, which he kicked off by using his touch to switch their powers. It's been years and nothing has come of it yet, the closest being another confrontation with Mr. Negative under a Spider-Man title again.
* AbsoluteCleavage[=/=]BareYourMidriff[=/=]CleavageWindow: Dagger's costume is a bodysuit with a dagger-shaped cutout that manages to fulfill ''all three'' [[http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/b/b0/Dagger_2.jpg at once.]] Keep in mind, Dagger started as a 16 year old.
* AsTheGoodBookSays: Their series started off each splash page with a paraphrased quote above the title. Psalm 139:12-14. "The darkness and light are both alike... I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted in their series. With the exception of Tandy's stepfather, who is more PlayedForLaughs than anything else, most of the adults who help the duo are capable and responsible. It comes full circle in Runaways when they are the only ones who get anywhere close to helping the teens.
* BeastAndBeauty
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: It's mentioned by almost every male character who lays eyes on Dagger that she looks like an angel.
* TheBigRottenApple: Since they were created in the early '80s and focused on combating drugs and prostitution, C&D spent a lot of time in this milieu. It's lampshaded in their ''Spider-Island'' miniseries, where the characters talk about how different New York is now and the old Holy Ghost Church is bulldozed for urban renewal.
* BroughtDownToNormal: This seems to happen on a regular basis if the writers think it will move the plot forward, especially to Cloak. One notable instance is when Tandy's father strips them of their powers in a HeroicSacrifice after he has a WhatHaveIBecome moment.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Mild example, but they need each other's powers to survive or they could die.
** Some writers tend to abandon this: in the ''League of Losers'' alternate future, Dagger pursued a superhero carrier after Cloak was killed.
* ChristianityIsCatholic: Their base of operations is sometimes an abandoned Catholic Church. Tandy's Uncle Mike is a priest.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Of the "made an existing villain worse". Shriek, who was introduced in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', is revealed in the second issue to have been a somewhat crazy drug-dealer whom was enveloped in Cloak's darkness... which activated her own latent mutant powers and rendered her homicidally insane, to the point she ended up in Ravencroft Asylum after going on a killing spree. And she gained InsanityImmunity to Cloak's powers in the process.
* ContagiousPowers: People directly exposed to their powers often end up getting some facsimile of them if they don't outright [[PowersAsPrograms absorb them completely]] like one story arc of ComicBook/NewMutants did. Most often occurred with Cloak [[DemonicPossession due to the nature of his powers]].
* DanceBattler: Tandy utilizes her [[IKnowMaddenKombat ballet training]] when fighting.
* DependingOnTheArtist: While Tandy gets drawn relatively consistently, the same can't be said for her partner. Cloak gets drawn looking like anything from a normal guy with his face in the shadows to a ghoulish monster that doesn't even look human anymore.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: According to Vol. 2 of the title (1985-1987) and related issues, all persons absorbed through Cloak's darkness are sent to a demon by the name of Predator. It first uses nightmarish illusions to cause victims to despair, then feeds on their lifeforce. It is immortal and seemingly all-powerful in its home dimension. Until #10 of the series, when Cloak sends Doctor Doom to the Predator. He fails to despair, quickly overpowers the demon, and leaves it in severe pain. He then simply steps out of the darkness back into the real world, something which typically required outside assistance for prisoners of the Darkforce.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: When Tandy gets brainwashed evil, her entire costume, even the ring around her eye, turns black. Cloak's costume, meanwhile [[LightIsNotGood turns white]].
* FanService: There's some for both genders here. Tandy has a skin-tight costume with most of her navel and the sides of her breasts exposed. Tyrone ends up naked when he's depowered, which tends to happen a lot.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Especially in the duo's early days, blonde Dagger was the sweet and friendly counterpart to Cloak's harsher outlook.
* HorrorHunger: Cloak (or the being living inside his cloak, depending) has this for the "light" of human lives.
* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Their entire motif. Cloak is a brooding dark-haired African guy in black who wields a cloak of darkness, while Dagger is a sweet blonde Caucasian woman in white who wields daggers of light. They not only work together but need each other, as Cloak hungers for light consumption while Dagger needs to constantly expel light, meaning both of them quell each other's urges.
* LightEmUp: Tandy's daggers are composed of pure light that can purge drug addictions.
* LightLiegeDarkDefender: Part of the duo's original dynamic. Both were somewhat insular and completely devoted to each other, but Dagger (the light wielder) was still an optimistic person, and fairly outgoing, which attracted the attention of other heroes willing to be friendly. Cloak, who is darkness personifies, was much less friendly and tended to be quite off-putting to other people. But the quickest way to find yourself getting sucked into the Dark Dimension that was his cloak was to be perceived as a threat to Dagger. Those who knew about Dagger's powers being used to keep Cloak's hunger for life energy in check often mistook the relationship for StockholmSyndrome, but Cloak proved repeatedly that he saw Dagger as more than just a convenience.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: This is the best description of their relationship. They truly love each other but usually, it's specifically stated to be platonic. In ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015: Runaways'', they actually are brother and sister.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Cloak.
* LuckyTranslation: in French their are known as "La Cape et l'Épée" ([[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] Cape and the Sword); in French, {{Swashbuckler}} genre is called "de cape et d'épée" (of cape and sword).
* MaleMightFemaleFinesse: Cloak, a MightyGlacier type hero paired with Dagger, a FragileSpeedster type with SheFu. Cloak enfolds villains and mooks in the darkness of his cloak, wherein they come face-to-face with their own wickedness. Baddies emerge quivering, terrified wrecks. Dagger is an angelic young woman who has had ballet and dance lessons, and can fling "light-knives" that can cause villainous BSOD, or "cure" substance addiction.
* MoralityGuidedAttack: This is how Cloak and Dagger vanquish adversaries. Cloak can enfold them in darkness, wherein villains encounter their own wickedness face to face, which often leaves them a quivering, neurotic wreck. Dagger can fling "light knives" which can stagger {{mooks}} and paralyze villains. Interestingly, Dagger's light knives had no effect on ComicBook/DoctorDoom, who has never regarded his actions as evil, but rather as his rightful destiny.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Dagger fulfills this trope, but she's surprisingly better proportioned than some of the superheroines in Marvel.
* NuclearNullifier: One issue has the heroic duo teleport to Latveria, where they discover that Doctor Doom has a device that exploits thunderstorms to render the world's nuclear devices inert. He remains unswayed when informed that radiation treatments for cancer patients are likewise nullified.
* PowersAsPrograms: They switch powers during the ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland'' event. Their powers are also switched in ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Runaways''. They still keep their respective Light and Dark sources to them though.
* PowersViaPossession: Cloak is covertly possessed by a demonic entity from the Darkforce Dimension known only as [[NamesToRunFromReallyFast Predator]] who compels his HorrorHunger. Sometimes he'll [[ContagiousPowers grant his powers to another, more proactive host]].
* Main/RoguesGallery: D’Spayre, Mr. Jip, Mayhem, Ecstasy, Night & Day, Nightmare (borrowed from Dr Strange), Shriek (borrowed from Spider-Man), and Mister Negative (also borrowed from Spider-Man).
* SaltAndPepper: Somewhat inverted, as Cloak is withdrawn and straitlaced, with Dagger being the one to get him out of his shell.
* ShownTheirWork: The writers did a lot of research when Dagger was blind, using many techniques utilized by the blind in real life, and even printed the names of books and people they had interviewed in their letters page.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Dagger seems to have partly inherited her powers from her biological father the Lord of Light/Nathan Tyler. He had the power to drain the life-force of other beings and manifest it as a blinding light.
* SuperSerum: They got their powers from being injected with drugs. Not the most family-friendly backstory, as was lampshaded in Runaways.
* TemporaryBlindness: Dagger has a lengthy case of it which lasts over a year, creating one of the more interesting story arcs. She learns to readjust to being both a blind person and superhero, and once she is cured, her spatial awareness is left heightened.
* TimeMarchesOn: Looking at their old 80s issues, certain aspects of New York City like Times Square being a den of drugs and porn, seems almost laughable when comparing it to how it is today.
* VagueAge: Orginally averted, as Tandy and Tyrone were said to be 16 and 17 years old, respectively, and were around the age of the New Mutants. Now, it's a little harder to pin down exactly how old they are supposed to be, but a safe estimate is at least somewhere in their 20s.
* VampiricDraining: Cloak's altered physiology demands that he regularly feed on spiritual energy, or "light", from other people. Without it, he begins suffering withdrawal-like symptoms and ultimately is compelled to feed. Light, on the other hand, has the inversion of this trope, in that she ''needs'' to be drained regularly or she becomes overwhelmed by the spiritual energy she produces in endless supply, which causes her to become extremely emotion-driven, impulsive and irrational. This is why they need to stay in close proximity at all times; Cloak is nourished by Dagger's excess light, and Dagger keeps her sanity through Cloak's feeding.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A 1991 storyline introduced Cloak's twin sister, Anna Johnson. She was a vagrant with [[DistressBall Danger Prone]] tendencies, which led to her having nasty encounters with neo-Nazis, demons, and arsonists. As of her last appearance, later that year, she was scared and hiding somewhere in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. Cloak was contacting a search for her in an effort to reconnect with his last living relative. Cloak and Dagger's title was cancelled at about this time and this plotline was never resolved.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: It's been 30 years since the pair first appeared and they ''still'' haven't fully rectified their {{UST}}. Though, to be fair, Cloak's body seems to have BarbieDollAnatomy when his powers are active, and when they aren't he and Tandy generally have more pressing matters on their mind.

!! Tropes for Ultimate Cloak and Dagger
* DestinationDefenestration: In her first fight with Bombshell, Dagger is hurled through the front window of a restaurant.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In an issue of ''The All New Ultimates'', Cloak and Dagger share a kiss after mentioning that they never get any time alone together. Cue energy swirling all around them, and then the windows of the church exploding outward.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Here we have a full quartet in the form of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Dr. Layla Miller, Nathaniel Essex, Arnim Zola III, and Samuel Sterns]] performing the experiments of a pair of badly injured teens.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Dagger's eyes glow with bright light when she's emotionally unsteady, such as when she was demanding Cloak release Bombshell from his folds, lest he kill her.
* HorrorHunger: Seemingly averted in the Ultimate incarnation of Cloak. He kept Bombshell in the folds of his cloak for a few minutes, and she emerged without the ill effects of Cloak's Earth-616 counterpart. We don't know enough, yet, though, as Dagger did seem to feel that Cloak keeping Bombshell in there for a prolonged length was dangerous to their adversary.
* MythologyGag:
** The driver of Ty and Tandy's limo was Simon Marshall, the man who, in the original Marvel Universe, created the synthetic drug that gave them their powers.
** On a Meta level, once more Cloak and Dagger are making their debut in the pages of a Spider-Man comic.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Some elements have been clearly changed. The duo's powers no longer come from [[SuperSerum drugs]], and instead from [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dark Matter]]. Also, in the original universe, Ty suffered from a speech impediment and a learning disability. In this world, he's a student council president and the assistant manager of a fast food restaurant.
* SensualSpandex: Notable for being averted. Dagger's new outfit avoids the AbsoluteCleavage, BareYourMidriff, and CleavageWindow tendencies of her other-universe counterpart. There is a recessed area on her outfit that still has the same dagger shape, but her [[http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/1303/13/ultimatespiderman24.jpg new outfit]] seems to be made of a padded, space-age fabric.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Tandy in her Prom dress.
* ThouShallNotKill: Dagger reminds Cloak that they're not killers when he tries holding Bombshell in his cloak for an extended period of time.
* {{UST}}: Notable for being averted. In this world, Ty and Tandy were dating for six months before the car accident rendered them comatose. Tandy had even just finished telling Ty that if he asked her to marry him at that moment, she'd have said "yes".

Cloak and Dagger are a pair of superheroes in the MarvelUniverse.

While never having been A-listers along the lines of ComicBook/TheMightyThor or ComicBook/IronMan, with their series often getting canceled after a very short period, they have a distinct cult following, which is somewhat tinted by nostalgia due to their [[TheEighties 1980s]] background. They often team-up with other superheroes, namely SpiderMan, who is a good friend. Before the series was cancelled, they also had a brief membership in the ComicBook/NewWarriors.
