Luke Cage is a former inmate who gained superhuman strength and nearly indestructible skin after an experimental prison procedure went wrong. Reinventing himself as the Hero for Hire, he became one of Harlem's greatest protectors and a champion for ordinary people. Luke combines incredible physical power with a strong moral compass, often putting his community before himself. Over the years, he has also served alongside teams like the Avengers while remaining true to his roots.
