'Cloak and Dagger' season 2: Will Mayhem be sidelined like in the comics or will there be more to O'Reilly's alter-ego?
'Cloak and Dagger' season 2: Mayhem in the comics is quite different from the character that we will be introduced to in the upcoming season.
'Cloak and Dagger' season 2 will pick up eight months after the events that occurred at Roxxon. While Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) have their own battles to face at this point, the character that we need to watch out for is that of Mayhem (Emma Lahana). She is detective Brigid O'Reilly's alter-ego who is born after Connors (JD Evermore) shoots her and pushes her into the river near one of the many outlets of the Roxxon rig which was infecting people with its energy. While she is assumed to be dead initially, at the end of the season we see O'Reilly crawl through wet dirt and emerge as Mayhem.
