Facts

[@MattyGears1583]

Paul Trought So True

[@kevintran6738]

I know this is 3 years old, but, that’s a Noice from me.

[@sloandarkhorn44885]

Luke cage is the superhero equivalent of a Nokia phone

[@ebonymaw8457]

His powers come from the radioactive Nokia in his stomach.

[@sloandarkhorn44885]

The Cringe Connoisseur solid

[@liverusrock6789]

+The Cringe Connoisseur that would make sense.

[@manjunathsudarsan]

That's a good one.. up u go!

[@BIGHORSENUTZ]

I guess that makes captain America and a boost prepaid. They're basically the same, but capt ain't bullet proof.

[@DarkShadowM99]

So Luke and Jessica are a literal Power couple?

[@andresalmonte9895]

Ah!! Lol

[@wickedlove8210]

DarkShadowM99 yep

[@knoxking963]

Yes

[@mikailthomas1466]

What can she even do?

[@Metalffe]

No.

[@MrBoondock1]

Luke Cage has been a favorite of mine since I first played Ultimate Alliance

[@steveocean2745]

Netflix Luke Cage in 9 days. can't wait. SWEET CHRISTMAS

[@THE_BIGGEST_HATER]

I'm getting sick of buying new clothes

[@Hawlem]

Damn, I didn't even know it was THAT close. I'm erect.

[@DamianBlaze]

I finished watching the whole season yesterday. It was awesome! I can't wait to see what comes next.

[@aaronrachiele5521]

SWEET CHRISTMAS Ha! That's his catch phrase.

[@TheBlackButterfly888]

Sweet Sister

[@KuroNaichi]

thats why deadpoon can kill him insde by putting mini bomb on his cofee

[@jjhassyGAMING]

Oh yeah Kuro?

[@TheController_0]

You having a stroke?

[@walkerfinazzo2056]

How can you make a video about Luke Cage but not even mention his famous catch phrase "Sweet Christmas"

[@toastyheretic3941]

You shoot Jessica Jones, Jessica Jones dies, You shoot Luke Cage, Luke Cage kills you

[@jasonnolasco4980]

When is season 2 coming out😫 I just finished season 1

[@garrettmiller8659]

Jason Nolasco next September bra it sucks fucking ass 😭😭

[@jaievans6655]

Garrett miller Lol you wish! It won't come until late 2018 at the absolute earliest. We're getting JJ s2 in early to mid 2018

[@cassiusfelix2805]

Why is that his catch phrase?

[@buckwilliams9363]

The greatest Netflix series ever!

[@excitedcat9517]

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR LUKE CAGE!! WOOOOHHHH!!!!!

[@godspeed3643]

[@RedHood940]

Yeah please variant comics

[@patrickimperial579]

spider x vader lol I just want some good reading recommendations from Arris cuz he gives good ones

[@Moscato_Moscato]

One great reading recommendation is Immortal Iron Fist and it's really underrated

[@patrickimperial579]

Deebo Molina Thanks! really been looking forward to reading some Iron Fist. Do you know which should I read for his origin? cuz I've been reading dc rebirth lately so I wanna read some Marvel too

[@patrickimperial579]

***** Thanks Arris!

[@ArtwithAmarBrisco]

I know of him as Power Man his original name from the 70's as a blackploxtation era character before people became to know him as luke cage.

[@Thecor13]

Ocsir B he started out as luke cage- his first issue hero for hire(friend owned the comic, i read that so many times)

[@jfncho]

2:37 "His momma named him Carl. Im'a call him Carl."

[@kidskinny6636]

[@TheJanissary90]

Mom how many times I told you my name is Luke.Stop emberassing me ! :D

[@superman8109]

I'm super stoked to watch the "Luke Cage" Netflix series. Also, Variant, can you guys put in more "Did You Know" segments in future videos? Not all of them are things we didn't know, but they're always fun to hear or get your take on.

[@MelisaDiary]

Awesome show on Netflix great ending can't wait for season 2

[@TakeTheWorld21]

Melisa Roseme I doubt there will be a season two because of defenders and possibly, infinity war.

[@Thecor13]

Samaad Sartor there is hope for season 2, JJ and DD are having one and the end of season 1 is setting the series up for a S2

[@Paul_Jeremiah_Rabin]

Breath of the Sith boy bet you feel dumb

[@wsyungin481]

Breath of the Sith u dumb

[@jamesmoore9864]

Mèl Rose season 2 fire

[@NotMike95]

Can't wait for the Luke Cage series on Netflix! My Grand-Dad actually inked the old Power Man and Iron Fist comics, so seeing a "History of" and an upcoming Netflix series makes me super giddy!

[@Osva200]

VariantComics wwww

[@raiden6428]

As Luke Cage said in the PS3 Spider-Man: Web of Shadows video game, it was NOT a tiara. "It's a headband. A HEAD. BAND."

[@anthonydeandre84]

Always love your comic book history lessons!

[@gotenbfp]

Sometime in the future, after a few more issues, a history of Gwenpool would be awesome.

[@itsstizzychid5206]

Wow, Netflix was freaking spot on with it

[@Yzyenthusiast]

[@AifDaimon]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@christianowens4104]

I've been excited for The Defenders since it was announced just after Daredevil season 1 dropped. Only about a year to go! I'm hyped.

[@mixedmonsta]

Luke Cage is the Kane of comics, tag team after tag team 😂

[@mintwax9002]

Lou Kang+Johnny Cage=Luke Cage

[@TheController_0]

No

[@kellivincent3144]

Wait Luke Cage wasn’t originally Luke Cage, Sweet Christmas!

[@stephen_langdon]

Always look forward to your content, you are one of the main reasons I got back into reading comics again so a big thank you. I would love to know your thoughts on my current choices and 1 future choice the first 2 are probably a more common one, while the last 2 I don't come across as much in my local area. Doctor Strange and Judge Dredd are the more common choices Witchblade or Switch at the moment is good, and the other one which isn't out yet is M.A.S.K based on the old cartoon anyway I would love to hear your thoughts on my material and if it gives you any ideas for future History series then that is a bonus ☺

[@101000102]

Great Job Arris!

[@EETFUK107]

Who liked the video before watching...

[@EETFUK107]

Me 😂😂😂

[@wholelifeahead]

You just replied to yourself

[@EvoKeKurlz]

I think that was the point

[@wholelifeahead]

KurLz I think that it was fairly obvious that he liked i dont think he needed to add a separate comment

[@ahmanshah7817]

I'd just thought everyone did?

[@wyattberens5723]

Hey Arris got an awesome idea for a vs. episode, Bucky Barns Captain America vs. Dick Greyson Batman

[@supermarshall2.053]

YES!!

[@josesanchez7109]

obviously, batman and nightwing.

[@buttox]

Are you talking about the movie ones or comicbook ones because the comic book cap is just peak human strength so I think Bats and boy wonder could win but if its movie ones idk.

[@wadewilson2286]

I think you are referring to when bucky was cap and dick batman...nit a team up. right?

[@danielfrancis1302]

Nah, let's mess it up- Swamp Thing vs Man Thing! Or Hellcat vs Vixen!

[@jonboybelton1076]

Man this is the only show I watch on KZbin every day. big big biggest fan!

[@jssupremacy3572]

thank you So much

[@samedwards3285]

fun fact: in the 2018 Netflix adaptation when Carl was being tested the original upside down tiara was dawned on his head just used for different purposes

[@kuivia]

ghostrider on agents of shield? what the actual fuck??

[@byron3718]

Yeh he's in season four

[@thegeakshow]

Great video

[@AifDaimon]

Do a History of White Tiger (current incarnation), please, with mentions of the previous versions as well.. since she's on some of Luke's teams

[@ihaveayoyoinmypantshaveasw6442]

OMG GHOST RIDER VIDEO COMES OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

Arris, what Rebirth storyline do I need to read to follow the general story. Or is it just like Flashpoint with the storyline being dropped... And which are your personal favorite Rebirth titles?

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

***** Thank you!

[@parispeirce4693]

titans !

[@Nightyoshi12]

Another awesome video. How about an episode on the history of The Riddler? I'm just starting to get into Batman comics and wanna hear some good Riddler recommendations from you.

[@cjmoore1017]

I love this channel

[@ataruDev]

[@superdudeheroe5781]

[@superman8109]

[@richardwestsanchezallen6148]

awesome job my man cheerio

[@mcrome1679]

Any review of a black superhero I know I'll hear the phrase "he was one of the first black superheroes.."

[@andresalmonte9895]

Well not if it's miles morales, Black lightning, or static lol

[@mmc8251]

or Icon, etc...

[@mcrome1679]

Funny thing about Black Light, Static, and Icon, they were the FIRST black heroes nobody gives a shit about!

[@Thecor13]

MC Rome they came toward the late 80s/early 90s(created by black men) while Luke cage is the first african american superhero(created by white men)

[@datusi4441]

Thecor13 kerby kreated black panther he was white

[@Frankenstein077]

_Sigh,_ it wasn't a tiara, it was a head band, a metal head band...

[@andresalmonte9895]

Lmao

[@Frankenstein077]

Malik Hansen No, a tiara is a form of crown or coronet.

[@Frankenstein077]

Malik Hansen That's because you obviously don't know what a tiara actually looks like.

[@KuneMaster]

This Friday brings as Force Friday as well as the new Luke Cage Series... can't wait :D

[@oteieaton8365]

[@childishpaco7447]

[@3lilbee]

[@Zeronos63]

[@buttox]

[@MrBoondock1]

[@tomashize]

Tarantino wanted to do a Luke Cage film in 94 with Lawrence Fishburne. Now you know.

[@Anfmethodjor]

Dr. Doom is too much. He is a gazillionnaire, yet he dares to not pay Luke Cage? You serious?! What a dick!

[@Sk3ch_94]

Love the Video...Where did you get your Marvel shirt from!!??

[@kimmmwest1045]

[@DrakenFX]

What about give us the history of Arris Quinones? :D

[@DrakenFX]

[@jjenk911]

Unless you become a superhero, Arris, a History Of wouldn't do you justice.

[@mathewssss.]

AaaaQa zoo sad

[@cripplingdepression961]

History of ghost rider comes out on my birthday, which is funny because he's one of my favourite comic characters!

[@insertwittynamehere1411]

Robbie or Jonny?

[@buttox]

Robbie , because he is on AoS

[@christienstephens768]

happy birthday

[@cassiellalojr1233]

[@blackwatchcommander104]

hey what would you say to a attack on titan and incredible hulk crossover and if it happens i hope he says and you can quote me on this HULK SMASH NO SKIN MAN!!!!

[@bulbasam2143]

There actually was a small avengers/attack on Titan crossover I believe, but it was kind of disappointing

[@chiragslg]

'

[@diggi6968]

Hey arris. Nice vid

[@diggi6968]

Also could you explain how he was hurt by the shotgun in Jessica jones please

[@jerdanjackson6274]

thank you summing it all up lol

[@msfuturemakeupartist]

I just wanna know where you get all your shirts from lol

[@omartistry]

Working for a gang, impervious to bullets, street fighter, one night stand and marrying a white woman..yea I can see the stereotypes, but I like the character.

[@Brown597]

Me too. I hate the fact that he had to marry him to white women

[@CVTom]

Awesome history segment, Arris! You missed an important part, though, about why he says Sweet Christmas. He refrained from using curse words due to the influence of his grandmother. A little bit of trivia for ya!

[@darrylwallace2428]

If you haven't seen Luke Cage on Netflix you are missing out. I finished the first season in two days because it was so good.

[@dupaul5429]

Luke Cage needs an upgrade to deal with the new threats in the Marvel universe. A storyline that shows Luke in Wakanda training with Shuri and his new vibranium armor. His armor can camouflage and Teleport.

[@ceIIphone]

Nice!

[@daoust26]

I have a issue of power man and ironist where they battle sabretooth which was a awesome issue

[@TheBrentzuki]

History of Arris!!!

[@hayaleslie3389]

... SWEET CHRISTMAS! 🎄 😂

[@anthonyjeter4643]

My dude Luke Cage!!!! Great backstory about Luke!

[@carlbloke8797]

Thanks so much for this. Also remember to do Doctor Strange

[@Nattyrute]

1:35 where the video actually start talking about luke cage
