Luke Cage, Hero for Hire, (aka Power Man) is a Marvel Comics series debuting June, 1972. Originally created as part of the 1970s blaxploitation craze. the series was created by writers Archie Goodwin and Roy Thomas, along with artists John Romita, Sr. and George Tuska.Carl Lucas grew up on the streets of Harlem. Convicted of a crime he didn't commit, he was offered a chance at parole if he'd participate in a prison experiment on cell regeneration. The experiment was sabotaged by a prison guard with a grudge against Lucas, granting him super strength and Nigh-Invulnerability. Traumatised by the experiment, Lucas lashed out at the guard, then, fearing that his lash-out would see him losing parole, made a break for it. Returning to New York, he was inspired to become a 'hero for hire', helping out anyone who could pay his price, and adopted the pseudonym "Luke Cage".The title was known as "Hero for Hire" for 16 issues (June, 1972-December, 1973), then as "Power Man" for issues #17-49 (February, 1974-February, 1978). In issue #50, Luke was teamed up with Iron Fist. The series continued as "Power Man and Iron Fist" for issues #50-125 (April, 1978- September, 1986).Luke and his Hero For Hire days have inspired a number of other heroes — one has taken up Luke's old "Power-Man" name, and several others have created an entire team devoted to this way of heroism, Heroes for Hire.See here for more info on Luke Cage in general. | |

Actually a Doombot: One story has Deadly Nightshade working with a guy named Chubby, supposedly acting as The Man Behind the Man. It's only when Luke and Danny catch up with the guy it turns out he's a highly sophisticated robot Nightshade made for... no reason. | |

Frame-Up: How everything starts for Luke. His "friend" Willis Stryker plants some drugs on Luke with enough evidence for him to get set down for life in a Hellhole Prison. One of Luke and Danny's early jobs is working guard detail at a museum display of Egyptian antiques. While they're there, the entire exhibit is stolen. It turns out it's the Living Monolith, who'd used them as patsys while he concocted his own scheme. | |

Yet Another Christmas Carol | |
| Luke Cage: Hero for Hire (Comic Book) / int_2ec6e90f | comment |
Yet Another Christmas Carol: "Jingle Bombs" was a more cynical take on the story, where a villain named Marley tested Luke Cage to see if humanity was worth him not nuking New York. He decided that Luke was all right, but humanity needed to go, and it was only through a robber's unwitting interference that Luke saved the day. The narration box says that while the world has survived, it hasn't changed a bit. | |

Now she plans to use her unbelievable genius to take over all crime in the world, and show them! SHOW THEM ALL! (it was the 70s.) | |

You should never... ever... ever try to run out on a debt to Luke. As referenced in the quote under the Badbutt entry: Doctor Doom tried and it resulted in Luke bum rushing the Baxter Building to 'borrow' a Fantasticar (clobbering the Thing in the process), flying himself all the way to Latveria and beating Doom like a rented mule. This was all over a matter of $200. "Where's my money, Honey?" has on occasion been referred to as the four scariest words in the Marvel Universe. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: Joy Meachum blames Iron Fist for the death of her father, no matter how often he tries to say otherwise. In Power Man & Iron Fist, this continues, her screaming about how much she hates him at the top of her lungs as he saves her from some crooks, and then turning around and offering their leader millions to kill him for her, an attitude that weirds the man out. Fortunately, Danny is finally able to resolve the problem. | |

Determinator: Never mind the fact he'll keep fighting, he just would not stop giving money to a coffee machine that kept screwing up his orders. Ever. You should never... ever... ever try to run out on a debt to Luke. As referenced in the quote under the Badbutt entry: Doctor Doom tried and it resulted in Luke bum rushing the Baxter Building to 'borrow' a Fantasticar (clobbering the Thing in the process), flying himself all the way to Latveria and beating Doom like a rented mule. This was all over a matter of $200. "Where's my money, Honey?" has on occasion been referred to as the four scariest words in the Marvel Universe. | |
