Early Life
Luke Cage, alias Power Man is the son of two S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists; Walter Cage and Amanda Cage who were working on a variant of the Super-Soldier Serum. Due to this when they were travelling with their son their plane was attacked by Zodiac led by Scorpio. To save their sons life Amanda made her son drink the the serum and pushed him out the plane. As he fell his body mutated giving him enhanced strength and indestructible skin, which allowed him to survive the fall.


 * Powers                 = Luke Cage possesses various superhuman physical attributes after undergoing an experiment designed to increases his body's cellular regeneration process.

Superhuman Strength: After undergoing the original experiment, Cage's strength was increased to superhuman levels sufficient to lift approximately 3 tons. Over the years and due to further experiments, Cage's strength has increased substantially and is enough for him to lift 25 tons.

Superhuman Stamina: Cage's muscles generate less fatigue toxins than the muscles of ordinary humans, granting him superhuman stamina. He can exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to affect him.

Superhuman Durability: Luke cage's skin is as hard as titanium steel and his muscle and bone tissues are considerably denser than the tissues of an ordinary human, granting him much greater resistance to physical injury than an ordinary human. He can withstand conventional handgun fire at a range of 4 feet and cannot be cut by any blade forged of conventional material, although in the event of required surgery his skin can be lacerated by an overpowered medical laser. He can withstand up to one-ton impacts or blasts of 150 pounds of TNT without serious injury, and is highly resistant to extreme temperatures and electrical shocks. His current level of durability enables him to withstand gun fire at point-blank range, and can withstand being lit on fire without suffering any serious or permanent injuries. He has withstood impacts from superhumans a good deal stronger than him, destructive energy attacks including electricity, and falls from great heights such as ninety story high skyscrapers.

Accelerated Healing Factor: Despite his near invulnerability, it is possible for Cage to be hurt. If injured, he is capable of recovering from mild injuries in 1/3rd the time it would take an ordinary human.

Skilled Combatant: Cage is a self-taught hand-to-hand combatant with years of street fighting experience. He also says he has had extensive training with Iron Fist.

Skilled Athlete: He is also a gifted athlete, even without his superhuman abilities. Extended Education: Apart from attending Midtown High School, Cage is self-educated in the law and speaks several languages.

Strong Speaker: He has proven to be very good at speaking positively, truthfully, and charismatically in front of large audiences. His innate nobility has earned him the respect and friendship from a good number of different persons.


 * Strength               = Class 25; Cage's strength has increased substantially after numerous enhancements and is enough for him to lift 25 tons.

Near-Unbreakable Flesh: Since Cage's skin cannot be lacerated by conventional materials, his superhuman durability is a hindrance if he suffers injuries that are too severe for him to heal on his own and require surgery, such as internal injuries. While his skin can be lacerated by a highly powerful medical laser and weapons composed of Adamantium, neither of these would be readily available or easily accessible.
 * Weaknesses             =

Radiation: As seen in the recent Age of Ultron event, enough exposure to massive amounts of radiation and the resulting burns can kill Cage, if the injuries are extensive enough.
