History
Imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, Carl Lucas was recruited by the prison’s doctor as a test subject for an experimental variant of the Super-Soldier Serum that empowered Captain America (Steve Rogers). Imbued with superhuman strength and durability, Lucas broke free of his prison and returned to the Harlem of his youth.
As a fugitive, Lucas adopted the name Luke Cage and began working as a Hero for Hire. Cage has been through a lot in the years since, sometimes teaming up with internationally recognized super-groups and sometimes returning to for-hire work, but he’s never stopped being a tireless fighter for the people of Harlem.
Personality
Cage is as sensitive and caring as he is tough and strong. Circumstances may force him into work as a paid hero, but he often helps those in need for free. Nothing is more important to him than his friends and family, including his wife, Jessica Jones, and their daughter, Danielle.
