'Luke Cage' Star Explains Power Man Name Dismissal
  • 6 years ago
Netflix's Marvel series aim to deliver audiences more grounded heroes than scientists who turn into hulking monsters or Norse Gods, thanks to series like Marvel's Daredevil, Marvel's Jessica Jones, and Marvel's Luke Cage. These more reality-driven tales oftentimes make it difficult to organically introduce a character's larger-than-life nickname from the comic books, with Luke Cage himself Mike Colter confirming why his series has avoided using the "Power Man" moniker for the hero. "Well, we sort of changed it a bit because I think we took a survey with a lot of folks and 'Power Man' just wasn't hitting it," Colter revealed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
