Official poster If you loved Mike Colter as the drug dealer Lemond Bishop on The Good Wife and as Luke Cage on Jessica Jones, then you're definitely going to love his new show on Netflix. Marvel's superhero Luke Cage is an African-American man with super strong bullet proof body which he got through a failed prison experiment. The comic character Luke Cage was born in the early 1970s and during this period, Marvel Comics was trying to take advantage of the blaxploitation which was a trend around that time. After so much anticipation, Netflix released Luke Cage on September 30, 2016 and it was received with a lot of positive reviews.  Luke Cage (Mike Colter) Luke Cage's plot is quite fresh and I don't think you need to know too much about the Marvel Universe to understand it. During the first episode I just kept itching for Luke to show his superpowers and strengths and he finally did when Mariah's (Alfre Woodard) thugs were trying to exploit ...
