It's not, it's more dramatic than CW, and can be just as adult as ABC, just done in a less serious way.

I always affiliated Cloak and Dagger as X-Men characters. Is this part of the deal Fox and Marvel worked out?

I did a quick read up on C&D because I didn't know much about them. They were experimented on when a drug cartel wanted to make their own heroin and tested it on teen runaways, all the test subjects died except Cloak and Dagger, they developed superpowers instead. That's the common backstory, but there's also another part that says they were actually mutants and the drugs just activated their powers so it just depends on the comic arc you want to do with. Even if they are mutants, they won't be mutants on the show. Daisy/Quake is a mutant in the comics but with Disney, she's an Inhuman. So I'm sure the Disney version will just make it where they are NOT mutants and experimenting is how they got their powers like MCU Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, as DisneyBlu said.
