(weightless while intangible)<br/><strong>Hair color:</strong>Brown  (Glowing white with no while powers are active)<br/><strong>Eye color:</strong>Black<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Ethnicity:</strong>African-American<br/><strong>Age:</strong>35<br/><strong>General Appearance:</strong>A skinny, dark-skinned black man with short black hair, though his physical form is usually enveloped in the black hooded 'cloak' generated by his powers, and difficult to distinguish easily.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">OTHER INFORMATION:</span></strong><br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>While outwardly seeming quiet and antisocial tyrone actually has a very well-developed sense of humor, though it is rarely displayed as his appearance, the subtle feeling of dread his presence causes, and the hollow, echoing quality his voice has as a result of his powers combined tend to put people off. He is also incredibly brave, with a strong protective streak (especially for women) and desire to help others, and exceptionally strong-willed from fighting off the hunger he used to suffer for many years. When not using his powers, he has a severe stutter, which makes social interaction very challenging for him.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>POWERS:</strong></span><br/><strong>Darkforce Conduit:</strong>Cloak's body is a portal to the "Darkforce Dimension," a world of strange ebony energy. Cloak is linked to a pocket realm of that dimension dominated by the Predator, which compels Cloak to absorb the life forces of other beings.<br/><br/><strong>Darkforce Channeling:</strong>Cloak can channel Darkforce to create a field of darkness in his general vicinity, usually using his cloak as a focal point to manipulate this darkness, though it can spread well beyond the confines of his cloak. People enveloped by Cloak's darkness feel numbing cold and crippling fear, sometimes seeing disturbing visions. Overlong exposure to the darkness can drive people insane. Unprotected victims trapped in Cloak's dark realm are gradually drained of their life force, and die unless Cloak releases them.<br/><br/><strong>Darkforce Dominion:</strong>Cloak is able to sense everything that occurs within his domain in the darkforce dimension, and can alter the dimensions properties by an act of will, though this requires concentration and is dificcult to do under immediate pressure.<br/><br/><strong>Darkforce Teleportation:</strong>Cloak can teleport by entering the Darkforce dimension, moving a short distance within it and emerging back on Earth a great distance from his point of origin. A span of miles on Earth can be traversed in only a few steps via shortcuts through the Darkforce. Cloak can teleport other persons or objects along with himself in this fashion as well, using his dominion over the darkforce dimension to protect them from its negative effects. '<br/><br/><strong>Darkforce Portals:</strong>Cloak is able to create portals to his domain in the Darkforce Dimension at-will, and can use his power to sustain the portals indefinitely, allowing anyone to physically pass into and out of the darkforce dimension.<br/><br/><strong>Darkforce Intangibility:</strong>Tyrone is usually intangible, though he can solidify through an act of will, or by absorbing enough lifeforce to saturate his form temporarily.<br/><br/><strong>Dark Vision:</strong>- As a conduit to the darkforce dimension, cloaks vision is unhindered by darkness, and he can see as if he were in a dimly-lit room even in pitch black conditions.<br/><br/><strong>Enhanced Strength:</strong>- Tyrone's strength has been enhanced by his darkforce connection and the power of the Predator, allowing him to lift up to four times his body weight, as a result Tyrone can press lift at least 620 lbs.<br/><br/><strong>Soul Consumption:</strong>- After consuming the Predator and assuming its powers Cloak is capable of consuming the souls of living beings, which he usually accomplishes by drawing them into his dimension. Like the Predator before him, Cloak is capable of waylaying souls on their way to hell, and when he consumes a soul his powers are enhanced to a degree dependent upon the strength and number of souls he has recently consumed.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>ABILITIES:</strong></span><br/><strong>Strong-Willed</strong>- Because he must constantly focus to keep the Hunger at bay and physically interact with his surroundings, cloak is extraordinarily strong-willed. In addition, any attack on his mind must also contend with the Predator, who will counterattack aggressively against any psychic intrusion.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">WEAKNESSES:</span></strong><br/>Light and bio-energy-based attacks.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>SKILLS:</strong></span><br/>As a result of his career as a superhero cloak is adept at navigating the criminal underworld, and has excellent stealth skills as well, especially in combination with his darkforce powers.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">HISTORY:</span></strong><br/>Raised in a poor South Boston neighborhood, Tyrone Johnson was a good student despite his chronic stutter, a disability he struggled to master with the support of his best friend, Billy. When Tyrone was 17, he and Billy witnessed the robbery of a local store and the fatal shooting of its clerk. The thieves fled, and Billy ran as well, fearing that he and Tyrone might be wrongly suspected of the crime. When a policeman ordered Billy to stop, Tyrone tried to proclaim Billy's innocence; but his stuttering made it impossible to speak clearly, and the officer shot Billy dead. Feeling responsible for Billy's death and afraid of the police, Johnson ran away to New York City.<br/><br/>Arriving at Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal, a penniless Tyrone considered robbing Tandy Bowen, a rich girl who had also run away from home; yet when someone else robbed her first, Tyrone impulsively tackled the thief and returned Tandy's purse. The two teens became fast friends. When the naïve Tandy accepted an offer of shelter from some strange men, a wary Tyrone went along to protect her; however, the two teens were soon forcibly delivered to criminal chemist Dr. Simon Marshall.<br/><br/>Marshall was developing a new synthetic heroin called D-Lite, for the Maggia, testing it on runaway teens with fatal results. Johnson and Bowen in some way survived the injections of the drug, and they fled. During their escape, Tyrone found himself engulfed in darkness and seized by a strange hunger which eased in the presence of Tandy, who was glowing with a brilliant light. Trying to hide his newly shadowy appearance in a makeshift cloak, Tyrone began absorbing Marshall's thugs into his darkness while Tandy struck them down with daggers of light. The two teens dubbed themselves Cloak & Dagger and declared war on drug crime.<br/><br/>Cloak & Dagger are devoted to each other, but the lonely Dagger often wants more from life, which has led to them separating many times, including this most recent split where Cloak has decided to apply for membership in the Avengers after recently defeating and absorbing the powers and essence of the demon known as The Predator, making him the ruler of the Predators former domain in the Darkforce Dimension. His most recent split with Dagger may be permanent, as he is no longer dependent on her powers to sate his hunger for lifeforce.
