Luke Cage (AKA Power Man) has a long-and-storied history in Marvel comics. He’s a bombastic cult of personality who spews ludicrous catchphrases and has no issue with stealing a flying car to go talk smack to Doctor Doom over $200.
Luke Cage stars in his own series on Netflix, but it’s worth exploring the character’s comic book history as a preview of where the TV show may be going.
In a race against time to shine the mainstream spotlight on more female superheroes, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television have teamed up to create Supergirl, the first modern-day TV series featuring a superheroine.
