Luke Cage (Mike Colter) received superpowers when he was experimented on in a private prison. He has super strength and impenetrable skin. He returns to his Harlem neighborhood to fight local crime lord Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) and other villains. Misty Knight (Simone Missick) is a police detective fighting for justice.
I really like Mike Colter and I really like the character of Luke Cage. The show does struggle to maintain story flow over the full 13 episode seasons. Nevertheless, it delivers quite a good punch in the Netflix Marvel Universal. Colter is able to maintain narrative drive all by himself. He is a compelling character and I hope he stays in the Marvel universe despite the cancellation due to the pending Netflix Marvel streaming war.
