10 Greatest Superhero Duos Of All Time
10. Cloak & Dagger
First appearing in a Spider-Man comic, Cloak & Dagger were designed to be street-level vigilantes, tackling problems such as drug trafficking and homelessness, in contrast to Marvel's more cosmic-level events.
While their origins depict them as a typical pairing of opposites, their powers both come from being forced into drug experimentation, after they seek shelter and end up test subjects for a synthetic heroin.
Although both depicted as teenage runaways, their upbringings are notably disparate, with Tyrone (Cloak) being a Black kid who saw his friend shot and killed by a cop, while Tandy (Dagger) was a rich white girl who ran away from home after her mother didn't pay her enough attention.
Their partnership is illustrated by them both having undergone the same experimentation, but also the fact that Cloak's powers give him a need to feed on light, with Daggers powers allow her to sate for him. Not only are they close friends and allies, but they truly need each other.
