Luke Cage (born Carl Lucas and also called Power Man) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Archie Goodwin and John Romita, Sr., he first appeared in ''Luke Cage, Hero for Hire'' #1 (June 1972). Imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, he gains superpowers in the form of unbreakable skin and superhuman strength. The character frequently teams up with fellow superhero Iron Fist, and is married to Jessica Jones, with whom he has a daughter. In 2005, writer Brian Michael Bendis added Luke Cage to the lineup of the New Avengers, and he has appeared in various ''Avengers'' titles since. Actor Mike Colter plays the character in ''Jessica Jones'', a live-action television series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will headline in his own series, which will premiere in 2016. ==Publication history== Luke Cage was created by Archie Goodwin and John Romita, Sr. shortly after Blaxploitation films emerged as a popular new genre. He debuted in his own series, ''Luke Cage, Hero for Hire'', which was initially written by Goodwin and pencilled by George Tuska. Cage's adventures were set in a grungier, more crime-dominated New York City than that inhabited by other Marvel superheroes of the time.〔 The series was retitled to ''Power Man'' with issue #17. As the Blaxploitation genre's popularity faded, Cage became unable to support his own series and was paired with another superhero whose popularity was based on a declining film genre, the martial arts hero Iron Fist, in an effort to save both characters from cancellation.〔 Though the series title would remain ''Power Man'' in the indicia for a while longer, with issue #50 (April 1978) the cover title became ''Power Man and Iron Fist''. It would remain thus until the series's cancellation with issue #125 (September 1986). The series's final writer, James Owsley, attempted to shed Cage's Blaxploitation roots by giving him a larger vocabulary and reducing usage of his catchphrase, "Sweet Christmas!".〔 In 1992, Cage was relaunched in a new series, simply titled ''Cage'', set primarily in Chicago. The revived series updated the character for the Nineties, with Cage symbolically destroying his original costume on the cover of the first issue. The series was cancelled after twenty issues; the entire run was written by Marc McLaurin. Cage received exposure in other books at the time, including his own serial in the anthology series ''Marvel Comics Presents''. In the aftermath of the "Onslaught" and "Heroes Reborn" storylines, Cage was included in the series ''Heroes for Hire'', written by John Ostrander, which lasted 19 issues. Subsequently, Cage was featured in the Brian Michael Bendis-written series ''Alias'', ''Secret War'', ''The Pulse'', ''Daredevil'', and ''New Avengers''. In 2010, Cage became a regular character in ''Thunderbolts'', starting with issue #144, and continued as leader of the team when the title transitioned into ''Dark Avengers'' beginning with issue #175. Cage also reappeared as a regular character in the second volume of ''New Avengers'' series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luke Cage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
