Cloak and Dagger are those types of heroes Marvel does best. Heroes; which are tragically flawed. I have always liked this duo, but Marvel never explored their story in a way which does these complex characters justice.

Teenage runaways; which are tortured, experimented on, then cursed with abilities forcing them out of society. A duo with as many polar opposites as attractions. The potential for an in depth and intriguing story is screaming to be told.

Suggestion for a future Marvel editor who might want to do a Cloak and Dagger series...

...leave the super-villains at the door and embrace the psychological thriller.
