Origins:
 
Shades and Comanche were prisoners in Seagate alongside Carl Lucas (Luke Cage). They tried to recruit him to sway all of the black inmates to follow them, but Lucas knew they were just "talkin' jive," and refused to work with them. Comanche pulled a knife to persuade him, and Lucas sucker-punched him, dropping him to the ground with a single blow.
A corrupt prison guard, Rackham, who abused Lucas, took out his frustrations on Shades, Comanche, and any others he could get his hands on after Lucas' escape. Eventually Rackham was fired for his brutality, but Shades and Comanche wanted revenge, so they slowly dug a tunnel under the prison and escaped.
Shades and Comanche arrived in Manhattan, where they heisted a couple of costumes, so that Rackham wouldn't recognize them when they approached him. While they searched for Rackham, they continued their old, racketeering ways.
