Part 1: The Definitive Origin Of Marvel's Luke Cage ( Hero For Hire )

#PartOne #superhero #origin
Lucas "Luke" Cage, born Carl Lucas and also known as the hero for hire, is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Archie Goodwin, George Tuska, Roy Thomas, and John Romita Sr., the character first appeared in Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #1 (June 1972). He is one of the earliest black superheroes to be featured as the protagonist and title character of a Marvel comic book.
Luke Cage was the first black super hero to helm his own ongoing title. Black Panther headlined in Jungle Action (Vol. 2) the following year, and wouldn't get his own self-titled book until 1977, five years after Hero for Hire #1
Actor Nicolas Cage (who would go on to play, among others, the original Ghost Rider), changed his surname from Coppola to Cage based on the character, so he could pursue his acting career without relying on his relation to filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, his uncle.
Luke Cage was Marvel's response to the "blaxploitation" movies of the time such as Shaft and Baadassss.

The old Luke Cage is better than the modern one

Marvel and Netflix both know we wanted that Luke Cage season 3 and a Defenders season 2. They did us wrong for that
