In The Comics

Two of the most memorable characters in the entire series, Hazel and Cha-Cha are a pair of sugar-addicted sociopaths with a taste for murder (and eventually global destruction). They appear in the second arc, Dallas, after being sent by Carmichael to deal with Number Five.

We never see them without their masks, which are colourful cartoon heads. They're killed by Klaus after he's kidnapped by them thanks to his telepathic powers.

The big change in the show is that Cha-Cha is female (and played by Mary J Blige no less). We also see both characters without their masks for most of the show.

They're still contract killers and Hazel is addicted to sugar, but they're not quite as unhinged or as sadistic as their comics counterparts.

In the show, Hazel (Cameron Britton) falls in love with waitress Agnes, who does exist in the comics, but not as a love interest. Instead, she's kidnapped by Hazel and Cha-Cha and forced to make them pie to feed their sugar obsession.
