Luke Cage, otherwise known as Power Man, was first introduced in Marvel Comics back in 1972. As we've already seen on TV, he has superhuman strength and unbreakable skin. With this new outing, fans will see Cage move up to Harlem after the events of Jessica Jones. There, he'll encounter such characters as Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes, played by House of Cards alum Mahershala Ali and, of course, Claire Temple played by Rosario Dawson.
