Cloak & Dagger S2
Tandy and Tyrone share two things: a childhood tragedy, and superpowers. Tandy can emit light daggers and see people’s deepest desires, while Ty can send people through the Darkforce dimension, and also see their deepest fears. However, their superpowers only work well when they’re together, which means they’re stuck with each other.
In the second season, Tandy and Ty have come to terms with their superpowers and take a new approach to using them to fight evil. They also discover how to strengthen their powers.
Tandy and Ty, also known as Cloak and Dagger, are based on the Marvel comic superheroes.
