Well I liked his fighty bits in JJ a lot so more of that will be nice. Brick Shithouse Smashes Ten Thousand Mooks is always fun to watch. On that note, now I want a Marvel Mosou game. drat it. e: also I'd like to know more about his character because he seemed pretty interesting in ways other than punching bad guys

Ugly In The Morning posted:Yeah, her and Luke both never had to learn to actually fight on account of being way more super powered than anyone they throw down with. Luke didn't get super powers until he was in prison, so he should have at least a basic idea of how to fight. I do really love the annoyed exasperation he fights with though. He's so tired of this poo poo, why don't people get the hint when the bullets are bouncing off him? notthegoatseguy posted:I wonder if they'll even have an established relationship, considering that Iron Fist's premise seems to be partially "Who the gently caress is Danny Rand?". You gotta mistakenly get into a fight with a dude who you think is a bad guy, then realize you're both on the same side, before you become best buddies. That's Comics 101, son.

moths posted:I feel like he was wrongfully convicted / set up, but I was never into his comics enough to say for sure. Luke grew up in a gang and was in and out of juvie through his teens. Then he tried to go straight, but his best friend was still in the gang. His friend rose through the ranks, but is jumped by a rival gang, which Luke saves him from. His friend's girlfriend then breaks up with him because of the danger and Luke's friend blames him for it, so he plants heroin in Luke's apartment and calls the cops. In prison Luke is frequently in fights and makes lots of escape attempts, so Luke is transferred to a super-max type prison. His fights with one of the guards at the prison is what leads to the experiment that gives him super powers. A scientist is trying out some Super Soldier tests on Luke, and leaves Luke unattended for a little bit and the guard fucks with the controls in an attempt to kill or really gently caress up Luke. Instead it gives him super powers, which he uses to escape prison. That's what I remember of his back story. Luke was always a tough son of a bitch who could kick some rear end, it's just that now he's almost invulnerable and has super strength.

I hope they take the opportunity of a new universe to rejigger his origins/backstory, at least a bit, since I feel him being in a gang as a youth but wanting to go straight without doing anything of note is a waste of him being in a gang at all. Either just have him resist being in a gang full stop or maybe grow up somewhere there is none or else have him do something worth going to jail for himself and decide to make more of himself after going to jail instead of being good but set up to go to jail. Ideally I'd love to see him modeled on someone like Stanley Williams, doing bad stuff in his youth for what seem like good reasons (setting up a gang to protect himself and his neighbors in Williams case) and then deciding to become a better person and inspiring people after going to jail and/or getting powers and abusing them in Luke's case - but you'd need to tell that story in full instead of as backstory to make it worthwhile and it's unlikely since he's only deciding to maybe be a hero now, long after he obviously got his powers even if you thought it could be interesting purely as backstory.

Given the present political climate I wouldn't be surprised if they made Cage's powers come from a Tuskegee experiment sort of thing.

It was strongly suggested in Jessica Jones that Luke was part of those experiments on kids that his wife found and hid, that also included Kilgrave. Different places, lots of different kids. Wasn't that the whole connection between Kilgrave and Luke's wife, and why she was killed?

Inventing Grittier Heroes. They're an organization that got tired of superheroes only dealing with world-level threats and decided to give powers to people with darker backstories that would stick around their neighborhoods and fight crime.

Which ironically leaves the Punisher as their idea working a bit too well with no IGH involvement needed. I really hope Bernthal gets involved in the Defenders somehow, even if not as one of the main heroes. Just have Matt say "Hey, I know a guy who can help with this horde of undead ninjas," and a couple of scenes later we have Frank Castle mowing down ninjas with a minigun.

Then one of the guys surrounding them's head goes back, and to the left. Then another. Then Matt will turn and "see" Castle on a water tower about 6 block away. Matt will return the thumbs up Castle gives him and say, "Man, I'm glad I called that guy."

Black Panther was Prince and is now a King; just another elitist. What does he know about the average black life? While he's living in his techo-jungle drinking from his vibranium wine flute, the rest of use are living here in the real jungle made of concrete! "Oh my suit is bulletproof!", you say, "Bitch, you can afford it, me, all i have is my skin."
