As runaway teenagers, Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson first met when Tyrone saved Tandy from a mugging. The two became fast friends, and when Tandy joined a new shelter on Ellis Island, Tyrone couldn't help but be suspicious and joined her. He was right as the shelter was a testing ground for a new drug the Maggia had developed. Most died in their experiments, but Tandy and Tyrone not only survived, they gained incredible powers that were both a blessing and a curse. Tyrone became a conduit for the Darkforce, able to teleport and summon the negative energies within the dark dimension while Tandy became a conduit of the Lifeforce, harnessing the positive energies she releases as dagger-like beams of light. However, Tyrone's powers cursed him with a need to consume the lifeforce of another, and Tandy needed to continually release her own energy or become sickly, eventually releasing her energy involuntarily in an explosive fashion. However, the two found that Tandy could give off her energy for Tyrone to feed his hunger in order to stave off the effects. The two were bound to each other. Together, they defeated the Maggia responsible and protect the streets of New York as Cloak and Dagger.
