With the current racial tensions in
America, there's never been a better time for a strong black superhero to be patrolling the city streets protecting the innocent, and a bulletproof one at that.
'Luke Cage' becomes
Marvel's latest street-level hero to stream on
Netflix and sees
Mike Colter go solo after starring alongside
Krysten Ritter in the acclaimed
Jessica Jones TV series.
This
'Hero for Hire' has come a long way since his 1970s comic book debut in tiara, chain belt and yellow silk shirt when he was created by
Archie Goodwin, John Romita, Sr. and
George Tuska.
Also known as
'Power Man' and for partnering with martial arts expert
'Iron Fist' in stories published by
Marvel Comics, this new live-action series will delve into his ex-con origins, the experiment that went wrong and changed his life, and his path to using his powers to become a neighbourhood hero on the streets of
Harlem.
Get ready for some familiar faces from the
Netflix TV shows and comic books too, like
Rosario Dawson's nurse
'Claire Temple' and the introduction of police detective
'Misty Knight' played by
Simone Missick.
You can also expect expect
Luke Cage to have his own rogues gallery of villains from crime bosses to crooked politicians, played by
Mahershala Ali and
Alfre Woodard respectively, as his past comes back to haunt him.

Santa Monica Boulevard, Beverly Boulevard and along the
Sunset Strip on September 22, 2016.

Marvel television shows, be sure to also check out these cool

And don't worry if you binge-watch Luke Cage too fast, you won't have to wait too long to see him again when he teams up with his other Marvel Netflix heroes in The Defenders television series.
