Luke Cage (2016)	comment	Luke Cage is an original series adaptation of the Marvel comic book property Luke Cage: Hero for Hire released on September 30th, 2016, developed by Cheo Hodari Coker. It is the third entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's The Defenders (2017) original series franchise, after Daredevil (2015) and Jessica Jones (2015), and preceding Iron Fist. The series originally premiered on Netflix in 2016.The show stars Mike Colter as Luke Cage, a bartender from New York City who gained Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerable skin from an experiment to save his life turned murder attempt. After the resulting explosion gives him the chance to change his life, he goes on the lam, hoping to live out his life as a normal person in Harlem. When Luke's past begins to catch up with him, he finds himself at war against the gangs that control organized crime in Harlem, which are led by Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes (Mahershala Ali), Madame Councilwoman Mariah Dillard* STOKES, Mariah Stokes (Alfre Woodard), Hernan "Shades" Alvarez (Theo Rossi) and Willis "Diamondback" Stryker (Erik LaRay Harvey), while also being at odds with Detective Misty Knight (Simone Missick).A second season was released on June 22, 2018. A year after the events of season 1, Luke has become a celebrity on the streets of Harlem with a reputation as bulletproof as his skin, and Mariah is preparing to retire from the criminal business. But when John "Bushmaster" McIver (Mustafa Shakir) shows up to exact war on Mariah over a past family grudge, Luke is forced to confront the fine line that separates a hero from a villain. Season 2 also adds Gabrielle Dennis as Mariah's daughter Matilda "Tilda" Johnson, and Reg E. Cathey as Reverend James Lucas in what was his final role prior to his death at the age of 59. In October 2018, Netflix announced that it was canceling the series due to creative differences. In February 2022, the series, alongside the rest of the Defenders franchise, exited Netflix's platform, moving to Disney+ the next month.Previews: SDCC Teaser, Trailer 1, "Streets" TrailerAs Luke Cage is part of The Defenders, spoilers from that series are included in some of the examples, and they are marked as such.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: The show does not shy away from sexuality, even compared to other Marvel shows. The very first episode features Luke and Misty having a one-night stand, and Shameek is seen blowing money in a strip club (though the strippers' nipples are dimed). We get flashbacks in "Manifest" to Mama Mabel's brothel.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: As with the other Netflix series in the MCU, this series is set to be grittier and more violent than the movies or other TV projects thus far. Mike Colter has described the series as the MCU's version of The Wire. In fact, if it weren't for Luke's powers and the Judas bullets, Luke Cage would a straightforward crime drama. The Judas bullet was developed by Hammer Industries. Diamondback took the Ex-Wife and made it actually work. Season 2 is this in comparison to Season 1, with Bushmaster's more brutal tactics, Mariah's vicious responses, and Luke's ever growing moral ambiguity. It closes with Luke in charge of Harlem's Paradise as Harlem's de facto King, and the door shutting on Misty and Claire.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Luke's costume of a hoodie and jeans is a reference to Trayvon Martin. Mike Colter confirmed this in an interview, where he says the costume was a choice he made exactly for this reason. It even becomes a citywide icon after Luke is forced to go on the run to go after Diamondback, since the NYPD are so focused on Luke that they're not looking for anyone else. Not only that, but hundreds of black men don hoodies with bullet holes after being inspired by Method Man's song, making the manhunt an absolute joke.

Now Hammer has built the Judas, a bullet that's not only lethally effective on superhumans, but very lucrative among gangsters. By season 2, though, it's also worthless against Luke Cage.

As part of his plan to manipulate the NYPD into buying Judas bullets, Diamondback kills a police officer by punching him across the street, then shouts "I'M LUKE CAGE!" at the top of his lungs as he flees. For a surprise, the cops buy it, and Misty spends the rest of the season calling them out for not considering the possibility of a frame up happening. As she points out right away, it's a blatantly obvious frameup given that the eyewitnesses never got a good look at the guy's face, and states that it would make more sense for the killer to be associated with Cottonmouth's former gang than for it to be Luke proper.

Despite this, Mariah claims that the two of them loved one another as much as a straight woman could love a gay man.

We're treated to a close-up, slow motion shot of Amos essentially punching a human-shaped brick full strength and breaking not just his hand, but also the rest of the bones in that arm. During Cornell's flashback, we get to watch Momma Mabel cut off a mouthy subordinate's finger with pruning shears, as easy as breathing. In Season 2, to convince Rosalie Carbone to leave Harlem alone, Luke combines this with a form of Punctuated Pounding, breaking her bodyguard's fingers one by one:

Cornell asks Shades how much the ammunition would cost in cash, so Shades writes down a number on a notepad and hands it to him. We don't see the number, but based on Cornell's response of "Per bullet?! For real?" the bullets are pretty damn expensive. (The fact that they utilize Chitauri scrap metal is probably part of it).

Luke Cage (2016) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: This show loves this trope: Rafael Scarfe in the comics was an honest police officer, except for one story arc, who helped Luke and Iron Fist on a number of cases. Here, he is a Corrupt Cop who kills Chico and sells Luke out to Cottonmouth. Dr. Noah Burstein was a supporting character and ally of Luke Cage during his early days, but here, he is a bit of a Well-Intentioned Extremist scientist. Reva was more or less a decent person, even if she didn't live very long during Luke's origin story in the comics, and up through at least Jessica Jones (2015), that seemed to be true of her for the MCU. We learn that she was aware of Seagate's experiments the entire time and was manipulating Luke.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_213288c6	comment	Next Tier Power-Up: In the first episode of season 2, Arturo Rey tries to use a Judas bullet to kill Luke... and it barely hurts him. Claire speculates that Luke's acid bath at Dr. Burstein's place made his skin even tougher, so the Judas bullets can no longer penetrate it. They spend the second episode doing some experiments under the guise of a PR crossfit, and discover that effect extends to all his abilities. He used to be able to pick up a washing machine one-handed. Now he can effortlessly throw a 400-pound monster tire that normally requires six men to be moved. He can run 40 yards in 3.7 seconds (which makes him faster than Usain Bolt) and make a standing jump of twenty-four feet (which later comes in handy when stopping Bushmaster's men from driving off with Piranha at the start of episode 6). Where before he was "Harlem's Captain America", he's now more like "Harlem's Incredible Hulk" — complete with a Hair-Trigger Temper and overconfidence that culminates in his near-fatal beating of Cockroach.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_216dab44	comment	Framing the Guilty Party: Diamondback decides to turn up the heat on Luke by going out and murdering a random police officer in public, making sure everyone hears him yelling "I'M LUKE CAGE!" as he flees the scene. The police easily buy the frameup, since Luke did actually assault two of them on tape in the previous episode. Flashbacks in season 2 suggest Scarfe was a regular user of this. Cockroach, who definitely committed other murders, was framed by Scarfe with a planted gun for one that he didn't commit. Another flashback shows Scarfe suggesting to Misty that they plant drugs on a guy scamming little old ladies out of their social security checks, which he promptly laughs off as a joke when Misty gives him an appalled look. Misty realizes in hindsight that he was trying to test her to see if she'd be as willing to break the rules to produce results. After Cockroach beats up his girlfriend and puts her in the hospital, Misty considers planting Judas bullets in his apartment. After breaking into his apartment, she has a crisis of conscience and decides not to go through with it. And it turns out the frameup would've been all for naught as Cockroach had just been decapitated by Bushmaster.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_21bf4878	comment	Decapitation Presentation: Bushmaster's M.O. for putting his enemies on notice is to kill their associates and send them the severed heads. He first does this with Nigel, putting Nigel's head in the satchel bags of money he hands over when Shades drops by. Later, after Mariah dismisses his thinly veiled threats, Bushmaster puts the severed heads of Mark Higgins, Cockroach, and Ray-Ray on display when Mariah is doing a ribbon cutting for a new clinic. And after getting Piranha to empty Mariah's bank accounts, Bushmaster leaves his severed head in a fish tank.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_2364f0d0	comment	Shades making bail is treated as if he skated on all criminal charges he was facing. Posting bail is not the same thing as "cleared of all charges." Bail is a guarantee of a later appearance in court. If you don't appear, it means you'll be tracked down and arrested, then put in jail until your trial, plus faced with a bail-jumping charge too. Furthermore, people on bail tend to be subject to various other restrictions on what activities they can engage in, meaning Misty would've had grounds to rearrest Shades when she, Luke and Claire caught him and Mariah at Pops' barbershop.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_24321e44	comment	Only Sane Man: Bobby Fish, with his cool demeanor, comes up as this in several situations, including when Luke and Diamondback are about to battle inside the barber shop. Shades is probably the only criminal in Harlem who doesn't let pride or personal grudges get the better of his instincts. Compared to Cottonmouth, whose pride and short temper do him in, and Diamondback, who is so consumed by his vendetta against Luke that Shades and Mariah cut all ties with him after the Harlem's Paradise standoff. In season 2, Comanche becomes this as he feels that Shades is letting his loyalty to Mariah blind him. It motivates Comanche to turn informant for Ridenhour in hopes of getting both him and Shades out of the criminal life. It doesn't end well for Comanche. Following his death, Shades once again reclaims this trope, and Mariah's massacre of an entire restaurant of innocents to smoke out Bushmaster, which is topped off by her setting Anansi on fire, culminates in him cutting ties with her. Mariah is the only one of the senior criminals who is calculating in her plans to go after Luke Cage, rather than acting on impulses.

Luke almost name-drops this in his argument with Claire in season 2. She calls him out on his rage, he responds that rage is almost the only thing a black man is allowed in this time and place. Mariah becomes one as she gets more and more unhinged as a result of Bushmaster's attacks. Best seen when she finally strikes back by massacring his uncle's restaurant and caps it off by setting Anansi on fire, then shoots him when he refuses to die quickly.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_329a19a0	comment	Hollywood Healing: Misty's arm heals surprisingly fast from getting shot. She seems to have ditched the sling within a day or two of the shooting at best. In reality, she would've probably had to wear the sling for a couple of weeks before any doctor would allow her to remove it. Somewhat lampshaded by Inspector Ridley, who comments to Misty that she really should be in the hospital instead of staying out on the streets. Of course, given she loses the arm for real when fighting Bakuto in Midland Circle, it's rendered moot... Discussed in regards to Luke. Claire mentions on more than one occasion that no one normally recovers from a shotgun blast like the one that Jessica Jones gave him. The experiment that Luke was subject to was also meant to accelerate his healing, but due to Rackham's last-minute sabotage, ended up giving Luke his durable skin. During Turk Barrett's second appearance, you would never know he nearly had his foot cut off by the Hand, not even so much as having a limp when he's interacting with Zip and Diamondback, and later when Luke interrogates him for information on Diamondback's base. And the whole thing with the Hand seemed to have occurred fairly recently, as Claire came to Harlem immediately after the attack on the hospital.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
Luke Cage (2016) / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: Every time a suspect asks for a lawyer, the interrogator continues asking questions, hoping to pressure the suspect into talking. Even Inspector Ridley, who is characterized by her belief in following the system, does so. In reality, the police must end an interrogation the moment a suspect asks for legal counsel, and can only resume once a lawyer has arrived. While there ARE instances where cops try to skirt around this, they usually try to do so by changing the subject or asserting that their past or present questions weren't part of any "official" interrogation, not by simply ignoring the request as seen in this show. If they do, and it's recorded, anything they get after this isn't usable in court. Only once has this actually played realistically. In the second episode of season 2, Misty lets herself into the interrogation room to question Arturo Rey, after he's already lawyered up. After Donovan shows up to bail out Arturo Rey, Ridenhour calls Misty out on this. After the Candace interrogation in "Blowin' Up the Spot", Mariah leaves, telling Misty, "You know what, I'm not under arrest, and I change my mind: you wanna talk to me, you call my lawyer." The statement "contact me through my lawyer" does NOT apply to police officers, meaning the cops could still call Mariah back for questioning if they had any reason to without having to go through her lawyers. "Contact me through my lawyer" only applies to other lawyers, as they have ethical rules stating, for instance, that a lawyer may not contact an opponent who has retained their own counsel (to stop a lawyer browbeating the other side into confessing, or in a civil case, stop them from coercing concessions etc. from them). Shades making bail is treated as if he skated on all criminal charges he was facing. Posting bail is not the same thing as "cleared of all charges." Bail is a guarantee of a later appearance in court. If you don't appear, it means you'll be tracked down and arrested, then put in jail until your trial, plus faced with a bail-jumping charge too. Furthermore, people on bail tend to be subject to various other restrictions on what activities they can engage in, meaning Misty would've had grounds to rearrest Shades when she, Luke and Claire caught him and Mariah at Pops' barbershop. During Shades' interrogation, Inspector Ridley says that as a participant in Diamondback's hostage situation, Shades is facing multiple kidnapping with a weapon charges. In real life, as one hostage was killed during the course of the hostage situation, he (and every other participant) would also be charged with Felony Murder for the murder of Damon Boone. In fact, it's amazing Shades even was granted bail in the first place, as there are multiple witnesses who would have seen him holding the hostages and he came at a police officer and a civilian while armed with a gun, which is two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. (It's implied that a judge may have been paid off, seeing as Shades and Mariah pay off another judge in order to get Arturo Rey bailed out) In real life, Misty would probably be forced to recuse herself from the case once Luke became a suspect/person of interest in the Cottonmouth crimes. Her one-night stand with him generates a conflict of interest. Luke's backstory plays fast and loose with human research ethics (which have been codified into law since WWII). FDA regulations explicitly forbid the use of prisoners in research providing no direct benefit, except in very specific cases (most of which require that the research have no or minimal risk). They also forbid using reduced sentencing as an incentive toward consent—that's textbook coercion. That said, it is established that Seagate is a very corrupt prison, so they may be fully aware that they are breaking the law. The NYPD doesn't have a 29th Precinct. The 29th Precinct is a fictional establishment created because the NYPD requires films and TV shows to use fictional precinct numbers to tell film cars apart from in-service patrol cars. The 29th happens to fall within the numbers of the actual police precincts for Harlem: the 23rd, 25th, 28th, 30th, and 32nd. Misty mocks Shades for dismissing his lawyer halfway through his confession, causing him to be unaware of the terms of his deal. But his lawyer would have had to make the terms of the deal clear to him before he decided to take it and make his confession, not after. Unlike real property or the hearsay rule, legal ethics is fairly straightforward.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: Rafael Scarfe, played by Frank Whaley, discusses his favorite burgers before killing Chico. In Pulp Fiction, his character Brett is killed after a lengthy discussion with Jules and Vincent about various types of hamburgers and the differences between burger styles in different countries. There's one scene where Cottonmouth and Mariah have a discussion/argument about the comparative merits of money versus political power, with Cottonmouth arguing that money is better than (or at least critical to) power. In House of Cards (US), Mahershala Ali plays Remy Danton, who has the same ongoing argument with Frank Underwood throughout the show's entire run. Faith Evans cameos in "Code of the Streets" performing her song "Mesmerized" on the stage at Harlem's Paradise. She is the widow of Christopher Wallace AKA the Notorious B.I.G., whose portrait hangs on the wall in Cottonmouth's office. There's a shot of Shades washing blood off his hands in a bathroom sink right after being forced to throw Councilman Damon Boone's body out the entrance to the club. Theo Rossi had a similar scene with "Juice" Ortiz in Sons of Anarchy. When she first meets Tilda again in season 2, Mariah says to her, "I could be the mother you always wanted me to beâ€�, a very line that Alfre Woodard previously used in Empire. D.W. makes a Game of Thrones reference shortly before Danny Rand appears and a few episodes after Colleen Wing showed up. Danny is played by Finn Jones, who played Loras Tyrell on Game of Thrones and Jessica Henwick played Nymeria Sand.

Further played with in that while he needs the quick cash infusion, Shades says it also makes Cottonmouth look weak, which is a problem in and of itself.

Notably, when the cops pick up a teenage kid who knows Luke (from Pop's barber shop) he says he wants to call his mom (who's in school to become a lawyer) and that he doesn't want to answer questions without her present, even though the cop questioning him keeps telling him he's not under arrest (this is actually exactly what you're supposed to do whenever the police want to talk to you, whether they consider you a suspect or not). Unfortunately, the kid has a bit of an attitude, Luke has just assaulted two police officers and has been framed for killing another police officer (who happened to be the interrogator's training officer), and tensions in general are too high, and thus the interrogator snaps and tries to beat answers out of him.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: One of the big themes of the second season is that Luke needs to reconnect and reconcile with his father, an admittedly common theme in film and television. Problem is that Luke's father is a piece of shit who has done nothing to deserve that. He fairly openly kept a woman on the side and had a son with her while his wife was believed barren, then raised the two boys together when his wife had a legitimate son. He was physically and emotionally abusive to both boys. When the two were caught joy-riding in a stolen car, he pulled strings to get the legitimate son away from the prison and into the military and let the illegitimate son rot in jail for grand theft auto. When the illegitimate son framed the legitimate son, he cut off all contact with the latter to the point that his son learned his mother had died from the warden. He only reached out after it was very publicly revealed that his son had been framed. Finally, when approaching Luke for reconciliation, he doesn't come as a penitent father asking forgiveness for his failures, but is confrontational, aggressive, and condescending, even attempting to get physical with him at one point. Luke has shit to work out regarding his father, but with a therapist, not with the man himself.

Other Harlem residents encourage Luke to be their champion also, since every act of good he does might be quickly undone unless he makes it clear that messing with his people will bring his wrath down on his enemies. This struggle continues in Season 2, with Luke complaining that he's like a fireman — every fire he puts out, drug dealer he chucks out, another pops up — and ultimately accepting the position of Harlem's 'King', taking over Harlem's Paradise.

Even Tone, who goes against his boss's wishes and shot up Pop's Barber Shop (to fatal results) only acts because he thinks it's what Cottonmouth need (but unfortunately, turns out to not be what he wants). In the family's backstory, "Pistol" Pete Stokes was not a nice guy even by their family's standards. He wanted to diversify into drugs, something Mama Mabel was morally opposed to, and he molested Mariah, siring Tilda in the process. However, he was the only one who took Cornell's musical ability and aversion to violence seriously and tried to give him opportunities to put his talent to use.

As he goes through Crispus Attucks, Luke uses an SUV door as a ballistic shield / battering ram, then pulls a piece of rebar straight out of a wall to use as a club. At the climax of the fight, he uses an entire 3-seat sofa as a club.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_4e3d253b	type	Downer Ending
Luke Cage (2016) / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: Season 1's ending: Luke is going back to prison for his original sentence, though this is thankfully mitigated by The Defenders, where Luke is introduced getting out of jail thanks to Foggy Nelson's lawyering. Mariah Dillard and Shades walk free after killing Candace and nullifying the only evidence against them, and even Diamondback's arrest is soured by his being set to get Luke's powers himself. And Candace's brothers are about to be recruited into The Hand. Season 2 (and the series itself) ends more bittersweet, but more towards the "bitter": Harlem, while in the end safe, briefly turns into a war zone from the power vacuum left by Mariah's incarceration; practically all of Bushmaster's family is dead at Mariah's hands and he never gets to truly avenge them by killing Mariah, leaving him a broken man; Claire has left Luke; Tilda appears to, as much as she tries to avoid it, be growing into the Stokes legacy as a ruthless woman of her own; D.W. basically evicts Luke from the barbershop; Mariah is murdered by Tilda though a poisonous kiss (which also robs Misty of the closure of seeing her sentenced, but to compensate, she does get to arrest Shades for Candace and Comanches' murders), and Mariah dies in Luke's arms; and Luke finds out his powers can only protect Harlem so much, and starts making truces with crime bosses for peace and he becomes the de-facto protector of Harlem after Mariah dies, which could possibly put him down the same dark path Mariah went down.

He retired from that life and tries to be a mentor figure for the young men in the area so they don't go down the same path he went down. Bushmaster's uncle Anansi used to be in the criminal game, but retired from it and along with his wife Ingrid, opened up a restaurant in Crown Heights named after Bushmaster's mother.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_51460d4e	comment	Cops Need the Vigilante: Deconstructed to a greater degree than Daredevil (2015). Whether or not the NYPD can trust, let alone need, the "gifted" people is a discussed plot point between Misty and Scarfe. Scarfe is a Dirty Cop in Cottonmouth's pocket, but he celebrates a Vigilante Man helping cops out when years of investigation have no satisfying payoff, especially when corruption is rampant in city government (from the D.A.'s office to the city council to the cops on the street) and "gifted" people exist everywhere. Misty, though, believes vigilantes (especially superpowered ones) are dangerous and should not be left untouched, which causes tensions between her and Luke. The show goes to great lengths to show that both sides make good cases: the NYPD are sometimes in way over their heads and gifted vigilantes can really be a boon for them. However, since Luke Cage has a code against killing, at some point he's going to need the system again or else the criminals he beats up will just come back. This is best highlighted in the final episode, as Diamondback is taken off the streets, but Misty's only witness against Mariah Dillard gets killed because no one trusted the system enough to make sure she was protected. In season 2, Misty enlists Luke to work with her when she finds herself alienated from her fellow cops who make a mockery of her for her disability and her past affiliations with Scarfe.

Luke does have an infrequently-used name of "Power Man" in the comics. It appears in the show as Pop's Affectionate Nickname for him. We also hear his comic-book's subhed, "Hero for Hire", in Method Man's rap about him. In season 2, "Power Man" is used by Claire once, and D.W. Griffith is even printing the name on T-shirts. In an aversion, the criminals who have supervillain codenames have said names repurposed as street gang nicknames: Hernan "Shades" Alvareznote Who actually got named here, as he was born with no name in the comics, Willis "Diamondback" Stryker, John "Bushmaster" McIver, etc. Played with though for "Cottonmouth", even though that was his real surname in the comics. Here, his name is Cornell Stokes. And he absolutely hates being called "Cottonmouth" (he got that nickname when he had a couple of teeth knocked out as a young man). Played with for Raymond "Piranha" Jones. In the comics, he gets his name from the sharp metal spikes he used to replace his teeth. In the show, it's a nickname he got because he considers himself to be the kind of Wall Street financier that no one sees coming. "Black Mariah" is now an insult that people directed at Mariah Dillard when she was growing up. When Cottonmouth does taunt her with that name once during an argument, she chucks a martini glass at him. In an interesting example, while everyone's still calling it "The Incident", people are a lot more likely to casually throw out the word "alien" in connection with it. Claire's mom mentions "aliens pouring out of a hole in the sky" once, and the big selling point of the Judas bullet is that the metal it's made from isn't from this world (which also makes it very expensive on the black market). In the hostage crisis in Harlem's Paradise, Sugar refers to Claire Temple as "the night nurse". Tilda Johnson doesn't go by "Nightshade". Instead, nightshade is the main herbal ingredient in the formula she creates that gives Bushmaster his healing powers.

After Diamondback kills Neville in the meeting, control of the Yardies passes to Neville's brother Nigel Garrison. That progresses until Bushmaster comes in and kills Nigel. Bushmaster himself runs a much more violent faction of the Yardies known as the Stylers.

Shades only decides to kill Cottonmouth after it's gotten so out of hand that he feels he has no choice (only to be beaten out by Mariah) and betrays Diamondback only after being betrayed first. However, he is utterly loyal to Mariah, whom he's not only sexually attracted to, but because as a kid, Mama Mabel took care of him. And that ends when he's disgusted by Mariah massacring innocent people and burning Bushmaster's uncle alive just to draw Bushmaster out of hiding.

Luke looks like a Scary Black Man (with in-universe comment on it from people) but he never exploits it, groovy music (more songs with lyrics and imposing beats than in Daredevil), many characters speak Jive Turkey to look tough streetwise like Shameek and Chico, the first episode has sex and nudity between Luke and Misty but not that much different than from other Netflix series. The Man (Seagate's researchers) and the Mob (Cottonmouth) are antagonists to Luke Cage and of course, problems must be solved by violence and intimidation (that's half of a hero's job description). Subverted with Mariah Dillard's "keep Harlem black" slogan, as she just wants Harlem's Afro-American heritage to be preserved and prefers legal and nonviolent means to reach it.

We see Foggy then greeting Luke on his release at the start of The Defenders. There have been some arguments that SHIELD should have taken an interest due to the alien nature of the Judas bullets, and Luke Cage's invulnerability, especially since Luke has made the news several times (especially after the viral dashcam footage of him throwing a police officer onto a squad car). However, at this point in time, SHIELD was operating without sanction and need to get government approval and funding, so if any agency outside the NYPD were to take interest in the activities going on in Harlem, it would be the ATF (due to the criminals being gun runners) if not the FBI. Given how much news coverage was dedicated to Luke, including getting discussed on Trish Talk, one would think Jessica Jones would make a trip up to Harlem to check in with him. The Defenders suggests that Jessica was deliberately blocking all things Luke Cage out, given how she's surprised at the Royal Dragon to learn that he did a stint in prison since they last saw each other. Averted in season two. Danny Rand becomes the first main hero of the Defenders to show up in another show after starring in his own. Danny simply swings by and insists on helping Luke for an episode.

Bobby Fish's departure for San Diego in the middle of Season 2 was because Ron Cephas Jones had to leave for Toronto to film his role in Shazam!, so he was given a heartfelt character beat to go out on.

He obviously doesn't base his superhero identity around it and doesn't even know about this portion until much later, but his powers are still based at least partially on an animal.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_7b8b3def	comment	Celebrity Paradox: In the season finale, the US Marshals mention Michael Connelly and his Harry Bosch series. Titus Welliver, who plays Harry Bosch in the TV series adaptation of those books, is SHIELD agent Felix Blake in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Tone compares his use of two submachine guns to light up Pop's Barbershop to the Candieland massacre in Django Unchained. Thing is, the house slave Stephen is played by Samuel L. Jackson, Nick Fury in the MCU. And Jackson's wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson plays Mama Mabel here in Luke Cage. The fact that Quentin Tarantino's films exist in the MCU is already a paradox, as Frank Whaley (Rafael Scarfe) played Brett in Pulp Fiction and Tim Roth (Blonsky in The Incredible Hulk) was in a number of Tarantino films including Pumpkin from the aforementioned Pulp Fiction. When Pop is telling Luke about his backstory, he says to Luke "I thought you was innocent, Shawshank," obviously comparing Luke to Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption. That movie's cast includes Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown (Leland Owlsley and Colonel Ray Schoonover in Daredevil (2015)) and William Sadler (President Matthew Ellis in the films). Misty does a reference to Ghostbusters (1984) when she first arrives at the junkyard shootout. Sigourney Weaver, who plays Dana in the original two movies, would later turn up as Alexandra in The Defenders (2017). Later, in season 2, Misty makes a reference to Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) from Alien when she and Luke are gearing up to raid Bushmaster's base in Brooklyn. Luke doesn't comment on Ripley's resemblance to the late Alexandra. In "The Main Ingredient", Luke is accosted by Harlem residents who feel he's not doing enough to stop Bushmaster, with one of them suggesting that he go "Dracarys" on Bushmaster, to which Luke replies, "State Property and Game of Thrones do not mix." Presumably Luke has noticed how much Loras Tyrell resembles Danny Rand, and how much Nymeria Sand resembles Colleen Wing. Minutes after this reference is made, Danny shows up at Pop's Barbershop. Shades is a fan of This Is Us. He probably cries watching the show because he's noticed how one of the characters is played by Ron Cephas Jones (Bobby Fish), and another character added in season 3 is played by Rob Morgan (Turk Barrett). Ghostface Killah makes an appearance in season 2. Ghostface has drawn inspiration from Iron Man throughout his solo career, starting with Ironman in 1996, which introduced his alter-ego Tony Starks. His reverence for the source material scored him a cameo in Iron Man, which, had it made it into the film, would have created the additional minor paradox of him resembling an arms dealer seen briefly in Dubai.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_7cbba5d3	comment	Ruthless Foreign Gangsters: Diamondback is a non-foreign variant. He's as much an American as Cottonmouth, but he's not a Harlem native. Which means he doesn't care at all about the chaos he causes. Harlem has several minor gangs made up of Haitians, Koreans, Dominicans, and Cubans. Their four bosses are among those Mariah has Domingo summon for a secret meeting regarding the sale of Cottonmouth's assets. However, Diamondback crashes the meeting and kills all four of them, sparing Domingo to send a message to everyone else. Bushmaster is Jamaican (although he was born in Brooklyn), and his crew make up a new chapter of the Yardies, better known as the Stylers. As Detective Tomas Ciancio puts it, "If the Yardies are Al-Qaeda, the Stylers are ISIS."

It's implied that it's her way of coping with the stress of working with Cottonmouth, and even moreso when working with the more bloodthirsty Diamondback.

Season 2 establishes that Mama Mabel funded the education for Piranha Jones and Ben Donovan.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_83641c73	type	Logical Weakness
Luke Cage (2016) / int_83641c73	comment	Logical Weakness: At first glance, Luke has a fantastic superpower; his tissues are tough enough that not only do bullets bounce off of him, he can laugh off a circular saw — yet he retains enough skin sensitivity to enjoy sex. He even has a Healing Factor. However, that very toughness and rapid healing makes any and all internal injuries not only life-threatening but all but impossible to treat; in Jessica Jones (2015) he took a shotgun blast from to the head at contact range, and the resulting brain swelling nearly killed him. When Diamondback shoots him with a Judas bullet — that explodes inside of him — his tissues can't be cut to extract the shrapnel and the healing process continuously drives the fragments deeper — into tissues that are much less resilient. This actually turns out to be a benefit as Claire was able to treat his brain swelling by inserting a steel needle through the orbit of his eye to relieve the pressure, and later draw blood from the back of his throat; like Achilles' Heel, his powers came from bathing in a solution with strange properties but it never reached his innards and his mouth was closed. His healing factor is also useless on dislocated shoulders since he needs to set the joint in place first. Mariah brings up other logical weaknesses that ought to harm Luke, such as poison and drowning, but no one in the first season tries anything other than shooting at Luke. Incidentally, these methods do get used in season 2: Arturo Rey tries to blow Luke up, Bushmaster uses a paralytic powder during his fight with Luke on the High Bridge before throwing him into the Harlem River below, etc. It's established in the season 2 premiere that gangbangers like to shoot at Luke because they just want to validate the tales of his invulnerability (and consider being beaten up by Luke as a "rite of passage"). Bushmaster's enhancement comes from nightshade's consumption, since his body grows accustomed to what is basically a toxin he needs to take stronger dose to keep the same effect and over use of it can ruin his body.

At the end of the series, Candace does talk, and Shades finds a way to have her killed. Whether or not this also dooms that entire complex worth of people is never said, but given the fact that Mariah and Shades are keeping low profiles when Luke returns to Harlem in The Defenders (2017), and Misty never makes mention of Candace's neighbors when asking Luke to handle Cole, it seems this isn't the case. Lieutenant Perez is never seen or mentioned again after Misty tricks him into admitting to being in Cottonmouth's pocket. This complicates Cottonmouth getting released because Perez almost certainly knows of everything Scarfe knew about.

As it turns out here, not only was Reva aware of the experiments at Seagate, but complicit in the cover ups when prisoners were killed as a result of them.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_8b6e8d7	comment	Anachronic Order: Season 1 of Luke Cage partially overlaps with season 2 of Daredevil (2015), which starts in Summer and ends in Christmas of 2015. This is established by the fact that in the fifth episode, Claire mentions the Hand's attack on Metro-General in ".380", and her tone implies that the attack just happened. Season 2 according to Word of God is set before the events of Avengers: Infinity War, despite being released after it.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: In the first episode, when talking to Shameek, Cottonmouth stands in front of the Biggie poster, with the cinematography staged such that it looks like Biggie's crown is sitting on top of Cottonmouth's head◊. Later, in "DWYCK", Diamondback sits in front of the poster in a similar way... but is positioned too close to it, so he doesn't completely block the view of Biggie and the crown looks too big for him, marking him as unfit to rule. This is also a reflection of the differences between the two men and their styles: Cottonmouth had a certain amount of good PR and respect for local neighborhood traditions and rules, and as a result he methodically controlled Harlem for years prior to Luke's arrival. Cottonmouth could even show up to Pop's funeral, even though it was his own henchman Tone that killed Pop, make a Rousing Speech, and get some people in the community to applaud him. Diamondback, on the other hand, attempts to control things by sheer fear, brutality, and intimidation, openly admitting to Shades that he's improvising on the fly to do whatever seems advantageous at the moment. As a result, he's brought down within weeks at most once he goes beyond being Cottonmouth's supplier and starts operating in the open. The crown really is too big for Diamondback to wear. Season 2 later shows Mariah doing the same pose in front of the Biggie photo, and at the end, after Mariah's death, so does Luke, briefly, to underline his status as King of Harlem — though it is made ambiguous by the fact that the picture is immediately replaced with one of Muhammad Ali, which symbolises his position not as a ruler but as an In-Universe cultural icon. In the season 1 finale and throughout season 2, Mariah has a Basquiat painting, "Red Kings", hang in place of the Biggie poster. She clings onto it, repeatedly refusing to sell it despite numerous financial setbacks, claiming that it is a family heirloom; she explicitly decides to have it hanging on the wall in the panic room they have built into the club. The painting represents Mariah's two primary obsessions: black culture and her family's legacy in Harlem.

After roughing up Claire after her near-death at the hands of Diamondback, Inspector Ridley makes her sit down with a competent police psychiatrist, and he gets her to admit her problems and deal with them. The second season plays this straight regarding Luke's past with his father. Luke's response to Cockroach's physical abuse of his girlfriend and her son, his father's treatment of Diamondback in the past and abandonment of Luke in prison, the fact that his father gets physical with him when he gets angry... Luke clearly suffered emotional and physical abuse as a child. Nevertheless, Claire insists he needs to confront his father (to the point that Luke goes into a rage and punches a wall) instead of seeing the therapist he clearly needs.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: When Domingo, Cottonmouth and Mariah first are introduced, Domingo comments that Cottonmouth's uncle Pete was "good people". There's a disgusted reaction from Mariah, foreshadowing the reveal that Pete had raped her as a child. Cottonmouth is confirmed to run Hammer armaments supplied by Diamondback in the very first episode. This comes back later in the season when Shades introduces him to "the Judas", an exclusive high-tech bullet made from scavenged alien metal and based on Hammer prototypes. In the first season finale's montage, Claire tears a phone number off of a poster for self-defense lessons from Colleen Wing. Claire is then re-introduced in Iron Fist while taking self-defense classes with Colleen. Mariah's capacity for explosive violence is foreshadowed when, following Crispus Attucks, a relatively mild goad from Cornell (calling her "Black Mariah") is met by a martini glass flung at his head. Misty is shot in the right arm by Diamondback during the hostage situation at Harlem's Paradise, and almost loses it, but Claire manages to save it just in time. This foreshadows her losing her right arm for real in the finale of The Defenders (2017) when rushing to save Claire and Colleen from Bakuto. In the first episode, Mariah expresses to Cottonmouth her discomfort with him having some of his henchmen be bodyguards for her while she's doing a public event outside Cripsus Attucks. Cottonmouth counters, "They pass out flyers, get contributions, tributes. Just like in Jamaica, you know?" This foreshadows their connections with the McIvers in season 2, especially since Bushmaster is running a more violent faction of the Yardies known as the Stylers. Mariah suggests alternative methods to Cottonmouth of killing Luke, like drowning him, poisoning him, burning him, etc. In season 2, we see criminals actually try these sorts of methods. Arturo Rey tries blowing up one of his trucks with Luke inside, but Luke survives with a very singed hoodie. Later, during their fight on the bridge, Bushmaster uses a special powder to paralyze Luke's muscles before pushing him into the Harlem River below, where he nearly drowns.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_9eb71c7c	comment	Super-Toughness: The experiment performed on Luke granted him inhumanly tough skin, the result of Rackham's sabotage. Thanks to this, Luke has so far been completely unfazed by: trying to cut into his own abdomen with a circular saw, being attacked by a pack of guard dogs, being hit by an SUV, being shot with handguns, taking several dozen rounds from an assault rifle, being hit in the neck by a glass bottle (which shatters), blocking a machete with his bare forearm, blocking a baseball bat with his forearm (which also breaks), and being lit on fire. Even being shot in the head with a shotgun at point-blank range only causes a concussion rather than blowing his head clean off. This also means he can use his super strength to its full potential (like punching through walls) without worrying about hurting himself in the process. However, his toughness applies to things like surgical tools as well, making anything that actually does manage to harm him nearly impossible to treat.

But Cottonmouth doesn't seem to notice or care that he has, without a shade of competition, one of the best nightclubs in all of Manhattan. Mariah even points out that his legitimate business interests are successful enough on their own that he doesn't need to run drugs or guns in order to be one of the most powerful men in Harlem. In Season 2, Mariah makes $350 million off an investment in Atreus Plastics stock, yet remains committed to getting into the dirt of the local Harlem underworld. Ben Donovan acts as Mariah's consigliere while she is in jail, delivering her orders for assassinations on people who know too much and being relieved when she spares him. But Donovan is already doing many of these same things for Wilson Fisk and will still be doing them in Daredevil season 3, and even if he wasn't, he's a skilled and high-power attorney who could easily make millions defending criminals while also keeping his hands clean.

Hayes' composed the soundtracks of Blaxploitation films that the Luke Cage comics were originally based on, and both Run the Jewels and Shaw began their careers in New York.

This backfires by guaranteeing Diamondback's appearance, and he promptly kills all of the bosses except for Domingo just to Make an Example of Them.

Shameek doesn't last even a few days before being spotted blowing his money at a street club, and is beaten to death by Cottonmouth. Chico doesn't last much longer, managing to survive a shooting attempt at Pop's barbershop, but not 24 hours after that, he's strangled to death by Scarfe just as he's about to turn state's evidence against Cottonmouth. Tone, upon seeing Chico at Pop's barbershop, decides he's some kind of Frank Castle and take him out with two submachine guns. He fails to kill Chico and only succeeds in killing Pop. For the latter, Cottonmouth throws him off a roof. Two robbers assault Method Man inside a store, and one of them not only removes his mask to speak directly to him and apologize for the robbery, but they also refer each other by their real names!

He relies on drugs to keep up with Luke instead of Diamondback's powersuit and his criminal powerbase is in Brooklyn instead of Cottonmouth's foothold in Harlem, making him and his crew Ruthless Foreign Gangsters to Harlem instead of a local kingpin.

Scarfe survives long enough to give Luke and Misty information on Cottonmouth before he dies. However it can't be used without a living Scarfe, so Cottonmouth walks. Willis Stryker attempts to frame Luke for murder by walking up to a random police officer, then punches the officer with a powered glove on his right hand that throws him backwards twenty feet through the air ("like he was shot from a cannon or some shit," as one witness puts it), caves in his chest, and kills him instantly. Willis then walks away shouting "I'M LUKE CAGE!" It helps that Luke has already been seen on a viral police car dashcam video overpowering two other cops in spectacular fashion. The police respond with relentless force, and Mariah exploits the backlash of one kid who got beaten up in custody (and had no information) as part of her scheme to sell Judas bullets to the NYPD. Comanche kills Captain Ridenhour when Shades catches the two meeting for an informant drop, and tries to fib...until Shades kills him with Ridenhour's gun and makes it seem like the two killed each other.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_a5fb0d24	type	Healing Factor
Luke Cage (2016) / int_a5fb0d24	comment	At first glance, Luke has a fantastic superpower; his tissues are tough enough that not only do bullets bounce off of him, he can laugh off a circular saw — yet he retains enough skin sensitivity to enjoy sex. He even has a Healing Factor. However, that very toughness and rapid healing makes any and all internal injuries not only life-threatening but all but impossible to treat; in Jessica Jones (2015) he took a shotgun blast from to the head at contact range, and the resulting brain swelling nearly killed him. When Diamondback shoots him with a Judas bullet — that explodes inside of him — his tissues can't be cut to extract the shrapnel and the healing process continuously drives the fragments deeper — into tissues that are much less resilient. This actually turns out to be a benefit as Claire was able to treat his brain swelling by inserting a steel needle through the orbit of his eye to relieve the pressure, and later draw blood from the back of his throat; like Achilles' Heel, his powers came from bathing in a solution with strange properties but it never reached his innards and his mouth was closed. His healing factor is also useless on dislocated shoulders since he needs to set the joint in place first.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_a65288e2	comment	Ascended Extra: With Misty Knight being the female lead and secondary protagonist (and only character besides Luke to appear in every episode), the NYPD plays a much bigger role here than it did in Daredevil or Jessica Jones. Claire Temple finally plays a much larger role in the plot here than she did in either of her runs in Daredevil, or her one appearance in Jessica Jones. She first appears five episodes in, and aside from "Soliloquy of Chaos", she appears in every episode from there to the end of the first season. Mark Bailey is introduced in season 1 as a fellow cop and friend of Misty's from the Crime Scene Unit. There, he's a recurring character, with just seven episodes across the season. In season 2, he's been promoted to Detective, and is partnered with Nandi Tyler for the first half of the season. Later, after Nandi goes rogue, he returns to being Misty's right hand. While Mariah and Shades are among the villain ensemble of season 1, they play second-fiddle to Cottonmouth and Diamondback. Cottonmouth and Diamondback being out of the way puts them as the face of the Stokes-Dillard crew for season 2. Comanche only appears in one episode of season 1, where he works with Shades as co-enforcers for Rackham. In the present-day scenes of season 1, Shades is all on his own, and there's no Comanche. Comanche then is a main character in the first half of season 2, up until his death upon Shades learning of his betrayal. In season 1, Sugar only appeared in a few episodes as one of Cottonmouth's henchmen, then disappeared after a non-fatal shot. In season 2, he has a Heelâ€“Face Turn and plays a larger role, particularly in the final episodes of that season.

It's even reflected in her wardrobe: at the beginning of the season she is dressed like a proper politician, someone who took inspiration from the Obamas. By the end of season 1, she is wearing that flashy, all black coat and sports an "in your face" demeanor. Alex, her right hand man, becomes a more and more competent Dragon for her, something even she's pleasantly surprised about. In season 2, she begins making plans to retire from gang life. However, Bushmaster shows up to ensure she doesn't based on her grandparents having killed his parents. It leads to Mariah massacring a restaurant of innocent people trying to smoke out Bushmaster. Subsequently, she ends up having falling outs with both Tilda and Shades. The latter proceeds to work with the cops to run a sting that gets Mariah arrested, and then she's killed by Tilda in jail while awaiting trial.

Finding a bomb set to go off, he hoists Domingo into a fireman's carry and rushes to get him out of the building before it explodes.

In season 2, Bushmaster and some of his men attempt to murder Mariah by tying her up to a chair in her living room and then burning down her brownstone. Luke is the one to pull Mariah from the flames, though when he gets her and Tilda to the police station, he makes clear that he's only doing it to find out why Bushmaster wants her dead. Luke later has to save Bushmaster from Mariah's goons. They fight side-by-side, but Luke prevents Bushmaster from killing anyone.

Misty Knight fails to put Mariah Dillard and Shades behind bars, but manages to gain her revenge by getting Diamondback arrested. Mariah gets out of Harlem's precinct without charges, but with Harlem realizing her criminal activities. Nobody wins. By the end of Season 2, Bushmaster is barely recovering from nightshade OD, having failed to kill Mariah and take everything he felt he was owed, has lost almost all his family, but he's been forced to flee to Jamaica with his Aunt to heal. Mariah dies in prison awaiting trial, robbing everyone of the chance for her to get convicted in a court of law and proven for the evil woman she is, though on the bright side, they're able to arrest Shades instead. Mariah's daughter, Tilda, has broken free from her mother and the sins of her family by poisoning her, but may be going down a dark path of her own making, and seems to be genuinely pissed that Mariah didn't leave her Harlem's Paradise in her will. Luke gets it instead, having brokered peace agreements with other organized crime groups to leave Harlem alone, but has basically set himself up as Harlem's new crime boss, which is part of Mariah's ploy to destroy Luke with the temptation of power. Once again, nobody wins.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_b414868	comment	Take It to the Bridge: In episode 6 of season 2, Luke challenges Bushmaster to a one-on-one fight atop the High Bridge at noon, like in the Westerns. Luke has the upper hand for most of the fight, until Bushmaster cheats by throwing a dash of a special powder in Luke's face that paralyzes his muscles and allows Bushmaster to push him over the railing, with Luke falling 140 feet to the Harlem River below.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_b5171e10	comment	Tragic Villain: Cottonmouth Used to Be a Sweet Kid with a talent and love for music, and if he had been raised by someone who actually cared he could have been another great Harlem musician. Growing up, Willis Stryker was very close to his half-brother, but when they were both arrested for grand theft auto Carl, the legitimate son, got the chance to join the Marines instead of going to juvie like the illegitimate Stryker did. Bushmaster's father Quincy was a business partner with Buggy Stokes and Mama Mabel. When the Italian mafia wanted in, they told Buggy they'd let him keep his club if he killed Buggy. He chose money over his friend, and fatally shot Quincy, but Quincy was able to shoot him before dying, the bullet killing him five months later. Later, Quincy's widow Gwen tried to collect her share of her husband's estate, which prompted Mama Mabel to kill her by burning down her house, leaving her son John an orphan. Mama Mabel later tried sending Pete to kill the young John, which failed and caused John to become Bushmaster.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: Tone shoots up Pop's Barbershop with two submachine guns trying to kill Chico. He only succeeds in killing Pop. That's unforgivable, but what also may have gotten him killed was his decision to call Cornell Stokes "Cottonmouth" to the guy's face, even knowing that the guy really doesn't like it when you call him that. Zip is ordered to assassinate Shades on Diamondback's orders. Rather than keep things simple and say, just shoot him in the head, he tries to do so by garroting Shades from behind while he has three other thugs accompanying, who just stand around and do nothing. Shades, who grew up as a street thug and brawler, manages to fight back enough to grab a gun and kill all of Zip's men. He then pistol-whips Zip, makes him confess to being sent on Diamondback's orders, then shoots him in the head. When Domingo makes the decision to confront Diamondback, he gives no indication that he plans to leave anyone alive. Given that, you would expect him to walk in and just shoot the guy. Instead he gets into some sort of Mexican Standoff for some reason, allowing Diamondback to arm himself and kill Domingo and his entire gang.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_bc3cb7ff	comment	Clear My Name: A deconstruction, especially since "Let's Frame Luke Cage" seems to be a favorite pastime of Diamondback and his forces; Officer Carl Lucas was framed for heroin possession and sent to Seagate prison. Shades and Mariah frame Luke for Cottonmouth's murder, and he is caught on dash-cam beating two cops senseless trying to escape. Another cop is killed by what appears to be Luke's superhuman strength (actually Stryker's power glove). Luke is able to prove his innocence of the two murders, and prove extenuating circumstances for attacking the two cops; he'd been seriously wounded by Judas bullets and needed to seek special medical attention he wouldn't have gotten in police custody. However, his identity as Carl Lucas is revealed, and he not only goes back in for the heroin possession charge, but is doubly punished for his prison escape. Foggy Nelson then gets all of the charges against Luke dropped before the start of The Defenders.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_bcc92de7	comment	Lost Aesop: A common complaint made about the show is that while racism is brought up, most of the conflict is still black-on-black. For example, "Black Lives Matter" and police brutality get mentioned, but white supremacy has nothing to do with the incidents shown on-screen and these issues are brought up by criminals who are hoping to smokescreen other agendas. Also, Rackham is stated after death to have mistreated Carl due to racism, but there's no indication Carl was treated any worse than inmates of other ethnicities. Also, in the aforementioned cases, Diamondback (a black man) is revealed as the underlying cause of both the increased police violence and Carl's prison abuse. Further, despite Word of God stating that show has the message of "a black man in a hoodie isn't a threat", Luke Cage is the ONLY person that applies to; many other black characters are henchmen or criminals wearing hoodies. Thus, the issues of police brutality and prison corruption have nothing to do with an accused system of white supremacy, which is the primary complaint of their detractors in Real Life, and a person could easily warp the show's aesop into "Yes, every black man in a hoodie isn't dangerous, but why take a chance?"

Luke Cage (2016) / int_c02f148d	comment	Both Sides Have a Point: A running theme in the first season is "justice" versus "order". Luke Cage and his close allies represent "justice" in that they don't believe in the system and so do whatever it takes to survive and protect their own. Misty Knight and the NYPD (except Scarfe) represent order, as they believe vigilantes (especially superpowered ones) are dangerous and should not be left untouched. In a way, they're both right. The police are sometimes in way over their heads and gifted vigilantes can really be a boon for them. However, since Luke Cage has a code against killing, at some point he's going to need the system again or else the criminals he beats up will just come back. This is best highlighted in the final episode, where Diamondback is off the streets, but Misty Knight's only witness against Mariah Dillard ends up killed because no one trusted the system enough to make sure she was protected.

Season 2 sees the Reverend Lucas trying to atone for his past actions and try to make amends with Luke, which Luke is hesitant to do until a conversation with Piranha. Piranha was the son of one of Mama Mabel's prostitutes as a result of one of her clients, a banker. The banker was never there in Piranha's childhood, and the one time Piranha tried to meet him in adulthood, his father had him escorted out by security. Whereas Piranha has been financially successful, his biological father lost everything in the 2008 mortgage crisis, and Piranha was just glad to have him escorted out by security when he came to his son begging for a handout. Mariah disowns her own daughter late in Season 2, after revealing to Tilda that she was actually a product of Mariah's constant rapes at the hands of Uncle Pete.

Ends up averted in season 2 after Luke discovers his second treatment made his skin even tougher, so the Judas bullets can't penetrate.

Cottonmouth kicks off the plot by indirectly causing Pop's death. But he is still a regular mob boss facing off against the superpowered Luke Cage, and doing so with no previous real experience against super-powered people, so he is severely outmatched. Even his attempts to turn the public against Luke fail spectacularly. He does eventually find Luke's weakness through his true identity and the Judas bullets, but he gets killed by Mariah before he gets the opportunity to truly use either. Shades even warns him that Diamondback could have him killed anytime he wants and Domingo is ready to declare war against him. Domingo acts as if he owns the town and, after the hostage situation ruckus at the club, tries to upstage Diamondback, which ends with Diamondback killing him and his entire gang. In season 2, Mariah greatly underestimates Bushmaster and is easily subjected to a bunch of attacks from Bushmaster without much of an effort to fight back.

In fact, it's amazing Shades even was granted bail in the first place, as there are multiple witnesses who would have seen him holding the hostages and he came at a police officer and a civilian while armed with a gun, which is two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. (It's implied that a judge may have been paid off, seeing as Shades and Mariah pay off another judge in order to get Arturo Rey bailed out)

While explanations could be made for how Obama references could exist,note Maybe Obama only served one term. Maybe they're referring to Senator Obama. it's most likely that the writers just wrote in Obama because the MCU is Like Reality, Unless Noted and they forgot that this is one of the places where the MCU differs from real life. Season 2 similarly makes references to Donald Trump, as Mariah uses an "alternative facts" quote when expressing her frustration to Shades about Arturo Rey getting locked up, and D.W. outright compares Luke to Trump when Luke says in the season 2 finale, "I'm gonna make Harlem great again." However, this ceases to be an error as there's no reason to believe that Ellis is still in office (or that another fictional President replaced him).

In fact, Luke not even being a native of Harlem makes the two criminals even more angry and scared, because to them he's just an outsider. There is Luke himself, who is fighting regular criminals while being a super-heroic Implacable Man. Even Cottonmouth's attempts at turning Harlem against him fails since Luke is having a too good reputation and can help more than Cottonmouth's supposed help. Then Diamondback shows up with high-tech weaponry that can hurt Luke, and more traditional comic book schemes that even the playing field between heroes and criminals. Bushmaster is not a Harlem native, but his parents worked with Buggy and Mama Mabel. He's this for Shades since Bushmaster's beef is all with Mariah.

Then hard-reversed in season 2, where Cage confronts his screwed-up family life, the limitations of his abilities to keep Harlem clean, and his own frustration and anger at those limitations.

During her rally at Harlem's Paradise, Mariah suggests that Jessica Jones lied about Kilgrave's powers and his raping her, which is the exact kind of skepticism that led to Mariah herself snapping and killing Cottonmouth. Luke's father was the "do as I say, not as I do" type of guy, who preached a high standard of morality from the pulpit, all the while keeping a mistress on the side, employed by his church and having sex in his office there (siring Willis Stryker in the process). Diamondback tells Mariah "You should never talk about murder on an open line," right after blatantly talking about dispatching Shades and Damon Boone on an open phone line.

Hard to hurt, hard to heal. To help him, Claire has to resort to some very extreme treatment methods that should never be used on a normal human being. If you thought what Claire did to help treat that shotgun blast to the neck in Jessica Jones (2015) was the worst possible treatment (draining fluid through his eye), you're wrong: when Diamondback shoots him with a Judas bullet, it not only pierces his skin, it explodes inside of him. Claire has to seek out the doctor who ran the original experiment, just to figure out how to begin treating him. The treatment includes lowering a needle down his throat to draw blood and cooking him in boiling acid to soften his tissue enough to remove shrapnel, like soaking in a hot bath to remove splinters from calluses. On top of that, it's traumatic enough to stop his heart and she throws a toaster into the acid bath as a quick-and-dirty Magical Defibrillator.

The chemicals used in the experiment reacted to some unique but unidentified aspect of Lukeâ€™s biology to result in the super-strength, unbreakable skin and healing factor. Reva stole all the data on the experiments when she and Luke went on the run and then wiped it all clean. And even then it might get subverted since Diamondback, Luke's half brother, is about to get treated by the doctor responsible for the experiment but who also found a temperature similar when Luke was wounded and needed medicine.

Luke Cage (2016) / int_e73b36ed	comment	Truce Trickery: The entire series happens because Tone—one of the triggermen of Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes—decides to shoot up Pops' Barber Shop, which was considered a Truce Zone by the Harlem underworld, once he noticed that a kid who stole from Stokes was in there. Noticeably, Stokes abided by the rules of the truce and kills Tone when he finds out what he did, but Tone is an Overzealous Underling who thinks it makes his boss look weak.

That's at least 12 straight hours of nonstop driving on Interstate 95, assuming they never stop for gas, sleep, food, or restroom breaks, and barring traffic congestion in the metropolitan areas along the way (Philadelphianote Although Philadelphia and Wilmington can be bypassed on the New Jersey Turnpike, Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington DC and Richmond). Cottonmouth's main stash house is the Crispus Attucks Community Center. While there are many schools, parks, theaters, playgrounds, and community centers have been named in honor of the Boston Massacre victim, none of those various establishments are located in Harlem like the series suggests. Justified, as the center is Mariah Dillard's pet project.

Thomas Ridenhour is ambiguously dirty, meeting with Mariah off-the-record, and not exactly being the most ethical in his handling of Comanche as an off-the-books confidential informant.

Using "you want to get a cup of coffee" as an analogy for you want to have sex. This becomes even more and more rampant in season 2 where it's done by everyone from old black ladies like Cockroach's neighbor to Italian mafia women like Rosalie Carbone. While Luke is at a crossfit early in season 2, a reporter claims Luke is faster than Usain Bolt. Every Jamaican that Luke crosses paths with subsequently gives him shit about it as if Luke said it himself. People offering Luke money in exchange for his superheroics, or telling him he could charge money for his services, and Luke refusing. Especially funny given Luke's "Heroes For Hire" past in the comics. Luke asking about hoodies from other people to replace his after they get shot full of bullet holes. His reaction to Domingo's men emptying their guns into him? "I'm about sick of always having to buy new clothes."
