**Tyrone Johnson** is a former student at the St. Sebastian's Preparatory School and a former player of its basketball team with the ability to manipulate Darkforce, a power he gained after being exposed to an explosion of energy caused by the Roxxon Gulf Platform's collapse on the same night his brother, Billy, was killed by James Connors. His powers are connected to Tandy Bowen, who was also exposed to the energy from the explosion. Despite having vastly different backgrounds, both share similar experiences. Johnson was framed for the murder of Kenneth Fuchs by Connors and was forced to go on the run but not before he and Bowen saved New Orleans from a spawn of Terrors with their conjoint powers.

While living on his own, he intervened in the city's drug trade much to the annoyance of Brigid O'Reilly and the concern of Bowen. He soon comes into conflict with Mayhem, O'Reilly's aggression and rage personified. Connors, who was trapped in the Dark Dimension for months, was freed and had a change of heart and wanted to help Johnson clear his name and end his own family's corruption. Mayhem and Johnson, later on, helped out each other in the cases of the young women disappearing throughout the city. They all found out that Andre Deschaine was behind it all and managed to defeat him with Bowen to once again save New Orleans. The drug trade managed to abide Johnson's need for rules and regulations and his name was cleared. Now believing the city was in good hands without them, Johnson and Bowen left New Orleans together to help out others in need.

With this new victory achieved, Johnson and Bowen decided to leave New Orleans to help others who might need their assistance. This eventually caused them to meet and ally with the Runaways, helping them to rescue Alex Wilder from the Dark Dimension.

13. ↑ In *Call/Response*, Tyrone Johnson says, "My parents look at me like a liar and a thief ever since I was 8. They don't trust me. Not really. You know, ever since that night." This implies he was 8 on the night Billy died, February 25, 2009 (see 2000s references), which would make him born between February 2000 and February 2001. However, in *Rabbit Hold*, on October 30, 2017 (see 2017 references), it is shown and said that Johnson is "18", which would put his date of birth between October 1998 and October 1999. It can be taken that Johnson was born late in that period, roughly October 1999, thus only recently 9 at the time of the February 2009 accident, with his parents having perhaps already started to be unsure about Johnson being trustworthy for a few months before Billy's death. In *B Sides*, Tandy Bowen says Johnson was in fact "9 years old" at the time of the accident, supporting this.
