The Sisterhood of Dada is the HBO Max show’s take on the comics' Brotherhood of Dada — a group of bizarre supervillains who take their name from the 20th-century European art movement Dadaism, which was satirical and nonsensical by nature.

Parker (The Vampire Diaries) will play the Sisterhood’s quiet and sensitive Malcolm who would rather disappear than confront an unrelenting society. Everett — best known forTeenage Bounty HuntersandAgent Carter— will portray Shelly Byron AKA The Fog: a deadly terrorist who’s a bit mad, but boasts a prepossessing poetic flair.Cloak & Dagger’s Mussenden will play the tattoo-covered and scarred Lloyd Jefferson, or “Frenzy,” who creates life-like masks and has a proclivity for sweeping devastation. Kalathara (MacGyver) and Hiraizumi (Dynasty) round out the Sisterhood as Sleepwalk and the Quiz, respectively. As for Sleepwalk, she works in an ice cream truck, knows how to party and hates to be awakened mid-nap. Quiz is a germaphobe whose phobias conceal breathtaking superpowers.
Horcher (Jack Reacher 2), Tennant (War of the Worlds) and Croft (Game of Thrones) will play pivotal members of the Deadboy Detective Agency — a title that more than alludes to its dead members and the responsibilities they take on. Horcher will portray Crystal Palace: a psychic medium and sarcastic teenager with two friends, Tennant’s Edwin Payne and Croft’s Charles Rowland. She freed them both from demonic possession. Payne has been dead since 1916, but he spent 80 years in hell on account of a “clerical error,” while Croft has been dead since 1989, yet strives to remain cheerful despite his traumatic death by hypothermia.
