Marvel's Cloak & Dagger: Every character ranked, from comic classics to originals

Starring two young superheroes, Tandy Bowen (aka Dagger) and Tyrone Johnson (aka Cloak) at the center of all action, perhaps not many fans know about the Spider-Man connection.
PUBLISHED AUG 13, 2018

In times, when there is an overload of comic book adaptations on television, Marvel is forging newer scopes, each time it comes up with a new series for the small screen. The most recent addition to the barrage of the MCU-set shows being Freeform's 'Cloak & Dagger' - a series dabbling in the world of superheroes with a fresher and unique perspective, making it just right for the network's YA audience. 

Starring two young superheroes-to-be, Tandy Bowen (aka Dagger) and Tyrone Johnson (aka Cloak) at the center of all action, many fans might perhaps not know that the show is based on characters who first appeared in Marvel's Spider-Man comics (in 1982). Since then, many an iteration of the web-slinging superhero has made its way to the screens, but this is the first time Cloak and Dagger are getting their due screen time under the watchful guidance of showrunner Joe Pokaski.
