Powers and Abilities (Luke Cage)
Luke Cage possesses superhuman strength and stamina, and has
extremely dense skin and muscle tissue which render him highly resistant
to physical injury. Cage possesses these abilities as a result of his
participation in dangerous, and highly controversial, experiments while
in prison. The cellular regeneration
experiment has fortified the various tissues of Cage's body, granting
him a high degree of resistance to injury via skin that is as strong as titanium
and can resist high caliber bullets, puncture wounds, corrosives, and
extreme temperatures and pressures without sustaining damage (It has
been noted that he has skin as "hard as steel", but when he went up
against an adversary that was going to shoot him with bullets that "can
pierce steel", he relates that the "steel" hardness of his skin is just a
saying and its much tougher than that). Despite this, it is still possible to cause him injury. For example, it is possible to injure him with adamantium weapons. However, it has been shown that the supernatural fangs of a vampire are not able to pierce his skin.
A second exposure to said experiments further enhanced his strength
and durability to current levels. He is described as being significantly
stronger than his first enhancement.
The same experiment which granted him his great strength and
durability has also given him a faster than normal recovery time from
injury. Cage's recovery time from physical trauma is significantly
shorter than that of a normal human. A major drawback, however, to his superhuman durability is that when he
does sustain serious injury beyond his ability to heal on his own,
medical care is difficult, given doctors' inability to get past his
hardened skin, as in the Secret War limited series.
Luke Cage is an exceptional street fighter and was a gifted athlete
before receiving superhuman abilities. He has also studied martial arts
under Iron Fist's instruction, learning how to couple leverage with his
strength in order to increase his combat effectiveness against more
powerful opponents.
He owns a jacket that is as durable as his skin, having been exposed to the "Power Man" treatment during Cage's second exposure.
In Other Media (Film/Movie)
A film adaptation of Luke Cage was in development for Marvel Studios and Columbia Pictures, with John Singleton directing. In May 2013, it was announced that the film rights for Power Man had reverted back to Marvel Studios.
