Cliff Dagger is an agent of VENOM.
Seen always sporting an eye-patch and red beanie, Cliff is as strong as an ox but dumb as a rock. Miles Mayhem doesn't trust him with anything but simple grunt work. He often makes puns and jokes that none of his comrades find amusing. His mask, Torch, and vehicle, Jackhammer, reflect the aspect of his brute force.
Activities with VENOM[]
- Arsonist
- Demolition Expert
Personality[]
Cliff Dagger is a slow-witted strongman relied upon by his VENOM companions for any jobs involving physical labor; at least in the later episodes.
In the early episodes, he was shown to understand what was going on and did what needed to be done in their crime sprees. Through his expertise with explosives he demonstrates a sense of levelheadedness in the group unless provoked, he was still not the sharpest tool in the shed.
