Family Background: Kip was born four minutes before younger twin brother Vance to loving parents Vivica Dallas, a school teacher, and Charlie Dallas, a world class boxer. Vivica herself was a telepath and Charlie had raised strength so they as parents were supportive of their children.
General History: Kip is much darker than younger brother Vance, perhaps because of his super power. In high school, Kip was a loner who didn't care about the rest of the school. During a trip to the caves in upstate New York, other students were making shadow puppets on the cave walls and Kip decided to get in on the fun. What shocked him though was the shadows reacted to him, creating anything he wanted. The deeper they went into the cave, the stronger Kip's powers seemed to be. Eventually all that was around was the darkness. Lucky for Kip, Vance found his powers the same day and helped the other students out of there.
Believing the accident to be his fault, Kip refused to use his powers in public. He preferred the sanctity of his room, practicing with the dark there. It wasn't until sometime after high school graduation when Vance came to him with the scheme to be a super hero team. At first, Kip was hesitant but at the prodding of his brother became a hero. Everything was going fine until during a mission Kip and Vance saved everyone but a ten year old girl. Grief stricken, Kip hunted down the thug who had shot the girl and used the darkness to drive the man insane. Kip never told Vance of this and still holds the secret with him.
One of Kip's finer missions was saving a young blogger, Amy Berk, from a Cadmus assassin. The two became fast friends, Kip finding it all in good fun that she became the author of his comic book series.
