Luke Cage made his first appearance in the Netflix series, "Jessica Jones" and now he is getting his own. Cage is portrayed by actor Mike Colter who washes dishes at a nightclub called Harlem's Paradise owned by a drug lord.
He was created in the 1970s by white men in response to the Blaxploitation, being set up as a heron in the making who only worked for those who could pay him. However, as time goes by, he becomes more noble about his abilities and chooses to fight with the good side as he grows older, making him a modern black hero.
