"Hero for hire" Luke Cage is the superhero from which actor Nicolas Cage took his last name. Cage is the nephew of renowned director Francis Ford Coppola, and didn't want any special treatment when coming up in the movie business so he chose the name from one of his favorite comic books.
Mike Colter recently got the part of Luke Cage in the Netflix TV shows A.K.A. Jessica Jones (2015) and Luke Cage (2016)
