Superhero Origins: Luke Cage

[@madrabiddog]

Luke Cage is my favorite! Him and Iron First are like the Road Warriors of the Marvel Universe!

[@ShinbrigTV]

Finally they did one on Luke Cage!!

[@edwardmorris9079]

Awesome!!!!

[@dragonfighter4171]

***** He is not really hero, He is just some guy with superheroes.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@dragonfighter4171 He IS a superhero tho. The hell are you talking about you fool!

[@ShellymanStudios]

Terry Crews would be a perfect Luke Cage.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Shellymon™ I seriously doubt that would happen.

[@Taganist]

Shellymon™ Add a splash of Old Spice and yea it might happen

[@WestsideGunna]

It makes total sense. He's the perfect age

[@BeefPatty876]

Shellymon™ He said he wanted to but they picked someone else for the role in a upcoming mini series. Terry still might be considered for the big screen

[@oneblood7411]

Shellymon™ I would have said Michael Jai White.

[@Artisan1979]

They left out how he found both happiness with Jessica jones and membership and leadership with the Avengers.

[@TheMysticCore]

I have no idea why my brain was screaming Mortal Kombat when I heard Luke Cage

[@marnerbroman]

TheMysticCore Jax?

[@jwarner9017]

I thought of mortal kombat as soon as i hear stryker

[@brandenking5609]

Maybe his last name reminded u of Johnny cage

[@darulezlulez2625]

Luke Cage.. Emma Frost.. FIGHT

[@drdoomcertifiedblogger8646]

Who else is pumped for the Luke Cage Netflix series after watching Daredevil?!!!!

[@LN.2233]

Dr Doom Certified Blogger Daredevil was so good, it makes me want to get into the comics. I'm usually someone that thinks DC beats Marvel in TV series but Daredevil was better than any superhero TV show I watched.

[@LN.2233]

John Doe try harder

[@NotHumanful]

John Doe Why? No need to be racist

[@drdoomcertifiedblogger8646]

LN2233 If you do get into comics i recommend reading Marvel's Civil War. It's my personal favorite comic book series of all time.

[@LN.2233]

Dr Doom Certified Blogger it's on my list

[@alissa6]

Been waiting 2 years for this.

[@heatblaze123]

Omar Alissa I know right?

[@martinbelko5880]

Me too m8

[@jonassaldana4642]

Me three

[@Heyitsjackpow]

If you like superhero comic book origins or comic book stories go an. Heck out comicstorian he's really good he did the Luke cage origin a while back

[@ipoint01]

I love seeing his interactions with iron fist because of how opposite of each other they are, but yet great friends

[@rhyswallace3590]

Me too

[@hytsugaya1000]

Wow.....what a complex and original storyline for a black hero -_-

[@mrking1785]

Come on this is the 70s

[@shwtmDLX1]

WATCHD0G Lmao it's so stereotypical.

[@angrypeepo9535]

+Isaiah .Thomas well it's too much

[@richardrackley2430]

Lol your profile pic makes your comment twice as good, it sounds like something katt williams would say

[@WORKSbaby]

Y’all some bitch ass niggas shut the fuck the shit hard

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

It's about damn time. I love Luke Cage.

[@lukecage209]

Yea me also...

[@clintbarton9068]

You look like him

[@brockf5]

+THE DAYWALKER because he black?

[@thescorpion3098]

+Nicholas Gordon I honestly didn't know that much about him but he seems really cool :D

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

I hope you guys have been watching the show. It's the best one yet.

[@caitlinjane92]

Now that I know Luke Cage's background, I can't wait until he gets his own TV series on Netflix.

[@sihammutaire6740]

caitlinjane92 he did now😝

[@jevonjackson4236]

Shout out to Luke cage a real straight to the point hero. Plus he got Jessica Jones a win win.

[@edilbertojimenez454]

First black super hero. Starts off as being a inmate in prison.

[@lylatfox4]

+Edilberto Jimenez Black Panther is the first black super hero, followed by falcon, but Luke Cage is the first to have his own series and not part of a character in a on-going series.

[@Lifeisgood-g8l]

lylatfox4 first African superhero but falcon is the first African -American hero in marvel

[@edilbertojimenez454]

My bad fam

[@rabronin]

Wow my excitement for the upcoming Netflix series just hit an all time high!

[@kremin234]

I absolutely love the marvel universe. You guys are awesome for doing superhero and super iliac origins.

[@soids3939]

After watching Jessica Jones I have a whole new level of respect for the this guy and can`t wait till the Netflix series comes out!!!

[@creepincarl]

I was hoping they would cast Michael Jai White as Luke Cage

[@jorgemedina968]

I never thought of that before but now that I am I'm upset they didn't

[@creepincarl]

***** I just dont get why MJW name isnt mentioned for any of these roles whether it be DC or Marvel. I dont know if he is just not interested in these roles or they are over looking him but he is as strong of a martial artist as some of these people are actors and these types of roles are his thing.

[@keith8880]

Me too :(

[@creepincarl]

keith8880 I find it insulting that Will Smith can get a role in these movies which he has no business doing but Michael Jai White doesnt seem to be even sought after by Marvel or D.C.. I would have even liked him to play Black Panther.

[@keith8880]

***** Agreed

[@amandadiamond7147]

I must say, he also rocks that tiara like a boss.

[@loegaming3442]

Who's here because of Jessica jones ?

[@siembacon]

me

[@nigeljoseph1722]

+XanxxGamingHD HA HA ....I AM I AM

[@thefurrybastard1964]

+FranchiseGaming Sweet Christmas!

[@DarkScarlettVixen]

+FranchiseGaming Partially, I remembered that they are making a series, so, when I saw this video in the side-bar I clicked on it.

[@christianowens3761]

+FranchiseGaming I'm here because of the upcoming Luke Cage.

[@PokeBaseball135]

Ok that's one half of the most underrated superhero duo in all of comics, now do the other half please. Iron Fist, anyone?

[@wlliamson53]

Michael Clarke Duncan would've been great for power man

[@richymoutondo9042]

Micheal Jai white too..

[@ChrundleKelly]

Terry Crews :(

[@jrumm]

I had all of the comics of Power Man ( along with others) in The 70's but my room was messy and my Mother threw all of my comics away. I recently told her we could have made money off of those comics and she said I should have kept my room clean.

[@poopsfrog]

jrumm punk bitch

[@alcommas]

I would be furious if my mom threw away anything of mine without my permission

[@Vashdastampead]

His story will make a gritty crime drama on Netflix.

[@SuperLaugh20]

Now we need superhero origins: Nic Cage

[@Kilamanjaro009]

A superhero who's parents didn't have to die to start whooping criminals asses. Need more like him, that shit's getting old.

[@d.c.stranded7134]

Oh this goin be sweet once the NetFlix series comes out.

[@EditDeath]

Now that I've seen this, I'm looking forward to his Netflix show. Based on what they did with Daredevil, I'd say Luke Cage is in good hands there.

[@brendondellinger355]

It's going to be interesting seeing Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Daredevil team up in Netflix. I'm actually more excited to see how their shows go than I am to see some of the new Marvel movies :)

[@FrankLightheart]

Big fan of Luke Cage. I love his partnership with Iron Fist along with his ongoing marriage with Jessica Jones as they raise a baby together. He's a tough character with strong relationships that keep him invested and relevant to Marvel's various stories, and he's also a family man to boot. I cannot wait for his series premier on Netflix.

[@ricksmith6637]

id like to see a marvel/dc crossover powergirl and luke cage powerman I think they would work well togheter

[@blue6700]

First black hero to star in own comic and they make him a jail bird felon go figure

[@hunterspoint33]

unbelievable smh..

[@ashtoncollado6192]

Keep in mind the time period in which it was written.

[@miningburrito]

he was portrayed as wrongly accused so its more of a driving force of vengeance against striker. it's simple writing

[@mvpelite77]

LOL

[@dietspider-man7698]

blue6700 literally exactly what I thought lol

[@danielmirtil4582]

it's coming on September 30th on Netflix

[@powerist209]

And one story had Luke Cage smacking Dr. Doom in stereotypically blackest way possible. He jacked Fantastic Four's car, which he beat up The Thing who was guarding it. And went to Dr. Doom's castle as "crazy black man". Then he smack Dr. Doom for not paying 200 bucks.

[@dragoncross42]

Luke Cage is truly awesome

[@johnniebrock9408]

luke cage is awesome him and blade are the best black superheros

[@randlelavant1950]

Uhmm ...Black Panther?

[@Yzyenthusiast]

lol

[@kennythangs522]

Johnnie Brock noooooooope!, Hancock 😉

[@bluelight2681]

I fucking love Luke cage, He is too underrated.

[@sren27]

Maaan why do we have to wait another year till the Netflix series starts ....

[@lazarotorres6139]

How is she lile Luke Cage?

[@lazarotorres6139]

***** She can barely fly

[@clintbarton9068]

+inFamous Hero but she doesn't have nearly unbearable skin like Luke cage does

[@JhaneilGrey]

black panther has his own comic too

[@Lifeisgood-g8l]

Black panther is African Luke cage is African-American

[@tonyoneal5269]

luke cage isn't African American, Luke Cage is American.

[@Lifeisgood-g8l]

Tony O'Neal ???

[@tonyoneal5269]

Elijah Hambrick???

[@jussamaru4153]

😂😂😂

[@moddy121]

I still think Terry Crewes would be perfect for the role in a marvel movie or tv series, but they may want someone younger now.

[@PROutdoors94]

Yea him or even Tyrese Gibson, but I agree they're probably too old

[@TheFidelRF]

Michael jai white???

[@toddthegod3222]

moddy121 Terry Crews should play Barracuda (punisher's villain)!

[@AIIHaiLME]

TheFidelRF I would rather him play somebody more important in the marvel universe

[@MrGoodPlot]

moddy121 That already happened: Mike Colter

[@zepo23]

Luke Cage's character is cool because the "hero for hire" thing makes so much sense to me, lol. Fuck saving people for free.

[@ricocutz]

Movie's coming out in a couple of years, can't wait!!

[@aaronzuniga5888]

Sweet Christmas Luke cage quote.

[@DemomanX614]

love the brother man version with the jive talking.

[@eseleaka]

Come on guys. Not a single mention of the upcoming Netflix show? I am disappointed.

[@johnjohn6528]

Yeah, "He's sure to make more appearances", why not just say he's going to be in three different live action shows on Netflix in the next few years.

[@austinmuse6029]

I didn't know who the Punisher was, then I watched the Netflix series. I didn't know who Luke Cage was, but I just started the Netflix series. Any other suggestions for superheroes on Netflix?

[@MADBD619]

Should've known that this indestructible bruiser would make an appearance in this Origin Spotlight list one day!

[@RealKNIGHTS6497]

yeah Luke Cage is my Favorite black hero and one of my favorites of all time and he made it to my top 10 favorite Marvel hero's.

[@seancollins4641]

Luke cage is the man!Terry crews keeps teasing the fans .but its confirmed by Terry that he will play Luke.Get that marvel money my dude.

[@MisterFantastic1961]

Mike Colter is the perfect Luke Cage in the Netflix Show as well as the MCU!

[@clericofchaos1]

the version with the afro is the coolest. always reminded me of black dynamite.

[@trikkerman1]

i'm still waiting for the live action version of "The Brown Hornet" starring Owen Wilson as "The Brown Hornet."

[@moosenothuman]

Superhero origins: Stan Lee

[@Magmaster13]

Really wish you didn't use footage from Ultimate Spiderman, Luke Cage in that show is so different Marvel made there own independent character to represent him.

[@hassanmanonggiring3904]

Nc one watchmojo , I've been waiting for this

[@Cyclopsblast]

I have a classic Power Man comic. He was so cool! I never knew his true origin. Awesome!

[@cmoney944]

Im not really into superheroes... but I must say that Luke Cage is my favorite

[@zoinkslatt]

Congrats With 8 Million!

[@TheMagnificentMarvin]

Y'all catch that!?? PRO-CESSSSS??? Hahaha

[@JVLIVSPhotography]

LONG OVERDUE! 'Nuff Said!

[@MrBlackout06]

My first and favorite hero.

[@cryospiral]

as far as I'm concerned, it would be almost criminal if they make a Power Man movie & he isn't potrayed be Terry Crews

[@AGDP-s1m]

They need to turn this into a Full length action movie staring Idris Elba as Luke Cage

[@osirisruiz492]

earth's mightiest heroes, best marvel cartoon to date

[@vincentfranklin17]

Sweet Christmas, Cage is cool!

[@the_priest_of_holy_moon_cult]

Can't wait for him to be in THE DEFENDERS it's gonna be awesome

[@Ryu62Alpha]

IRON FIST NEXT!!! please :)

[@9faris3]

Deadpool (original skin), Elektra, Luke Cage, Elektro, Spider-Gwen, Spiderman (Miles Mores), Thor (Jessica Jones), Venom, and Iron Patriot are the champions yet in my collection in MCOC mobile game

[@KenGKaiden]

Took you guys long enough!

[@iexpertclifton203]

Lucas Cage is my father! He's the best dad ever!!!!

[@alfonsopina3976]

Mike Coulter is The Greatest Man in playing Marvel’s Luke Cage in The Marvel Cinematic Universe

[@ICEGOD2]

OG superhero baby.

[@ThyDavideth]

The Power Man character was influenced by Blaxploitation cinema. "You jive-ass turkey".

[@VelociraptorD]

glad you made this i wanted to know his origins

[@LightStreak567]

0:09 The MCU version of Iron Fist needs to follow the advice of the "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" version of himself. All that uncontrolled rage is the reason why he is the worst Iron Fist.

[@UltraNinjaMZ]

This guy is very under-appreciated thank god for ultimate spiderman or else no one would even know his name

[@nick6var]

He wasn't actually the first black superhero, but the first African-American superhero. Black Panther was introduced in the late 1960s in the Fantastic Four and, while he is a black superhero, he is an African prince from Wakanda. He was not an American citizen, and never became one. Luke Cage (Power Man I) was American, first and foremost, and Marvel's first black American superhero.

[@justhere5125]

+Nick Varville They said the first Black hero to hold his on comic title, of which he was.

[@Nron2000]

Love the MCU Luke Cage. He fits the mold

[@omniretrofan777]

luke cage is amazing. if they ever make a film about him, hopefully he will be voiced by kevin michael richardson, or b.a. barracus, a.k.a, mr T

[@ivangomez123]

Please the origins of the Inhumans, Mrs. Marvel, the Hellfire Club, the Hood, Black Knight. And reduzca Dr. Doom

[@lukecarvell9938]

You need to do Firestorm, Atom, The Vibe, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist!

[@itssaoirse1239]

I cant wait for his netflix show!!!

[@bdavis24fan]

Now I wanna see the Luke Cage series that Marvel Studios is planning to put out on Netflix.

[@MrBopeel]

About time! I'm assuming Iron Fist is next, right WatchMojo?

[@seancollins4641]

fun fact.Nicholas Cage got his last name from his favorite superhero.PowerMan.

[@x54]

Luke cage is the best, he called Dr.doom honey.

[@soberchimera61]

Power Man is such a stupid name for a superhero, especially since Luke Cage is already an alias.

[@drdoomcertifiedblogger8646]

soberchimera61 That's why in the comics Luke Cage is actually embarrassed by how cheesy the name Power Man was. He always tells people not to call him that anymore.

[@slopnbiscuitz6944]

So is "super"man but EVERYONE is fine with it...

[@MichaelBrown-rg8oi]

+soberchimera61 Its the 1970's... And to be honest it didn't take rocket science to come up with the name like Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, Ironman, etc.

[@MRGooodwineTV]

+laz kar too bad superman wasn't the First superhero lol Doctor Occult (Doctor Mystic),

[@MichaelBrown-rg8oi]

laz kar The only reason he is consider that is because he was the first MAINSTREAM comic book hero not the first comic book hero...

[@gokulauri]

So the fist black character in Marvel started out in prison?

[@ldiod4374]

Black Panther is the first black character in marvel.

[@gokulauri]

Larson Davidson But Luke Cage was the first solo superhero

[@LegendsP137]

It was the 70's lol and I guessing when they say black they kinda mean African-American because Black Panther was before him and he is African.

[@ldiod4374]

WinterSplinterM.II I know, but that's not what you typed.

[@carlosroderick501]

WinterSplinterM.II no the 1st started in wakanda.#t,challah

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

I was kind of expecting you to close with a different clip. Instead of him saying *"That's Messed Up"*, you should've taken a clip from Ultimate Spiderman when he said *"I made Spiderman Speechless? That's a real Superpower!"*

[@Batmanbeyyond]

Sweet Christmas is anybody here watching this in 2018?

[@yullwohlmuth]

Make Iron Fist origins for the next time.

[@insanehiker5587]

Actually he'll be played by Mike Colter in both the pending NETFLIX original series A.K.A. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage as well as the pending The Defenders mini-series.

[@strangeglass2512]

Pending? It's already confirmed

[@tomurashigaraki358]

Sweet Christmas

[@bobbiemanueldelapena4997]

It's called unbreakable skin, fool! I'd love to see Terry Crews as Luke Cage...

[@austinkable9333]

You should really do origins of Cable!!!

[@JaydenW.]

Luke cage and Deadpool=Dream team

[@erzan]

Luke Cage is one very bad black stereotype. BUT it was the 1972.

[@juslikejuice]

Not really a stereotype lol. That's a day in New York in the 70s dude. Especially in towns like brooklyn and New York.

[@thecraplordsell4575]

Justin Gilmore no, just Harlem.

[@thedoncrazephaze5375]

I read "sweet Christmas" the first time in luke cage power man in late 70s...soon after - I said it in front of my mom (too young @ 8-9yrs to understand her strong roman catholic "beliefs" regarding the saying) & she acted like I dropped an f-bomb...

[@nahxhon7010]

who saw the trailer for the the Netflix series?

[@egoboundd]

I did

[@Yzyenthusiast]

I finished it

[@jiobodega2358]

You guys need to do Iron Fist as the next SuperHero Origin

[@bhekindhlovu8844]

First Black Superhero comicbook starts with hero in jail

[@H0LLYW00DHenn]

So basically he’s a black wolverine minus tha claws..

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

LOL Not at all, their not even close to being similar AT ALL!
