An ex-con who gained his freedom (and his powers) after volunteering to undergo medical experiments Luke Cage is half Superfly, half Captain America, with a little Tuskeegee thrown in for kicks. God bless blaxploitation, although Cage\'s catch phrase - "Sweet Christmas!" has always seemed more Santa than Shaft.
