title="American comic book">American comic books</a> published by <a href="/wiki/Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a>.

Stories featuring Luke Cage often relate to issues of race and class. His origin invokes criticism of <a href="/wiki/Police_brutality_in_the_United_States" title="Police brutality in the United States">police brutality</a> and <a href="/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States" title="Incarceration in the United States">the prison system</a> in the United States, and his 1970s stories focus on his efforts to support himself as a businessman. His creators were initially inspired by <a href="/wiki/Blaxploitation" title="Blaxploitation">Blaxploitation</a> cinema and subsequently by the <a href="/wiki/Black_Power" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Power">Black Power</a> movement. The character was intensely masculine and sexualized in his 20th century appearances, but these aspects were tempered as Cage's focus shifted to his life as a husband and father. </p><p>Cage was introduced in <i>Luke Cage, Hero for Hire</i> #1 (June 1972); he was the first Black superhero to star in his own regular title. His series was renamed <i>Power Man</i> with issue #17 (1974) and then <i><a href="/wiki/Power_Man_and_Iron_Fist" title="Power Man and Iron Fist">Power Man and Iron Fist</a></i> with issue #50 (1978), when <a href="/wiki/Iron_Fist_(character)" title="Iron Fist (character)">Iron Fist</a> became his costar. The series ended after issue #125 (1986), and he then briefly starred in the miniseries <i>Cage</i> (1992). The character was generally neglected and received little commercial success or broad popularity in the 1990s. </p><p>However, writer <a href="/wiki/Brian_Michael_Bendis" title="Brian Michael Bendis">Brian Michael Bendis</a> redesigned Cage for <a href="/wiki/Alias_(comics)" title="Alias (comics)"><i>Alias</i></a> (2001), and the character then appeared in another series titled <i>Cage</i> (2002) under the <a href="/wiki/Max_(comics)" title="Max (comics)">Max</a> imprint. In 2004, Bendis incorporated Cage into the <a href="/wiki/Avengers_(comics)" title="Avengers (comics)">Avengers</a>. He wrote Cage as a main character in <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_Avengers_(comics)" title="The New Avengers (comics)">The New Avengers</a></i> (2004–2010), <i><a href="/wiki/The_Pulse_(comics)" title="The Pulse (comics)">The Pulse</a></i> (2004), <i><a href="/wiki/The_Mighty_Avengers" title="The Mighty Avengers">The Mighty Avengers</a></i> (2013–2015), and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Defenders_(comic_book)#2017_series" title="The Defenders (comic book)">The Defenders</a></i> (2017–2018). Other series featuring Luke Cage have been published, such as <i>Luke Cage: Noir</i> (2009), a new volume of <i>Power Man and Iron Fist</i> (2016), the comedic series <i>CAGE!</i> (2016), and <i>Luke Cage: Gang War</i> (2023). </p><p>Carl Lucas gained superhuman strength and unbreakable skin after being the subject of an experiment while in prison. Having been falsely imprisoned, he uses his powers to escape and starts a business as the Hero for Hire under the name Luke Cage. He then teams up with <a href="/wiki/Iron_Fist_(character)" title="Iron Fist (character)">Iron Fist</a> and clears his name. He marries <a href="/wiki/Jessica_Jones" title="Jessica Jones">Jessica Jones</a> and they have a daughter together while Cage joins the <a href="/wiki/The_New_Avengers_(comics)" title="The New Avengers (comics)">New Avengers</a>, the <a href="/wiki/The_Mighty_Avengers" title="The Mighty Avengers">Mighty Avengers</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Defenders_(comics)#2017_series" title="Defenders (comics)">Defenders</a>. Cage runs in the New York mayoral election against <a href="/wiki/Wilson_Fisk" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilson Fisk">Wilson Fisk</a> and is elected mayor. Along with Iron Fist and Jessica Jones, Cage's supporting characters include his friend <a href="/wiki/David_Griffith_(comics)" title="David Griffith (comics)">David Griffith</a> and the doctor <a href="/wiki/Claire_Temple" title="Claire Temple">Claire Temple</a>.
