The 8 Best Characters Of Luke Cage

A big part of the success of Marvel's Netflix TV series is due to how great the characters are. It has been said before, but these shows are in effect 13-hour movies, which allows for a deeper look at the main players than in, say, The Avengers films. Think Matt Murdock with his conscience split between his vigilantism and his catholic faith. Or Jessica and her post-traumatic stress disorder.

No one else could take the top spot but Power Man himself, Mr. Luke Cage. First of all, Mike Colter is terrific as Luke. We got a taste of him in Jessica Jones, but here he proves that he’s a terrific leading man with a lot of charisma.

Despite possessing bullet-proof skin, the great thing about Luke as a character is that he is a reluctant hero who, just like the best of them, is forced to face up to his responsibilities when tragedy strikes. A real man of the people, he will not stop until his town is safe. Just because he wears a hoodie instead of a cape doesn’t mean he isn’t a fully-fledged hero.

The best example yet of a street-level superhero, the team behind Luke Cage should be commended for giving us another great Defender to add to the line-up.
