DESCRIPTION Luke was born in the slums of Harlem. He committed many petty thefts with his friend Willis Stryker. Eventually Luke went straight while Stryker became a rich criminal. Stryker framed Luke for heroin possession because of an argument over a woman. Soon afterward the woman was killed in an assassination attempt meant for Stryker. While in prison Luke learned how to fight in order to stay alive. He agreed to be a subject in an experiment of Dr. Bernstein's in exchange for early parole. A prison guard that hated Luke tried to use the experiment to kill him. Instead he gave Luke Cage superhuman strength and steel-hard skin. Luke used his new powers to escape from prison. Back in New York, Luke set himself up as a Hero for Hire. While searching for evidence to clear his name, he met Iron Fist. Together they cleared Luke of the drug charges and set up Heroes for Hire, a detective agency.
