When their activities became too damaging for the illegal drug trade, some dealers kidnapped members of the [[New Mutants]] and tried to control them by injecting them with a drug similar to that which gave the duo their powers. For a time, they lost their powers to the heroes [[Sunspot (Marvel Comics)|Sunspot]] and [[Wolfsbane (character)|Wolfsbane]] but they cooperated in retrieving them when it was learned the others were not handling it well. Cloak and Dagger saved them with Spider-Man, but turned down an offer to join the [[X-Men]]'s School for Gifted Youngsters.<ref name="mtu6"/> Cloak and Dagger battled Silvermane and the [[Answer (comics)#Answer (Aaron Nicholson)|Answer]].

The two tended to live in churches, supported by friends and priests. Cloak has run away many times, not understanding that Dagger is fully willing to use her light power to satisfy his darkness. Cloak and Dagger are devoted to each other, but Dagger often wants more from life.
