I'm going back to Hell's Kitchen where it's safe." See, it's funny, because he's always getting beaten up by Daredevil in Hell's Kitchen. That's why he tells Cottonmouth, "You Harlem n-s are off the hook. Which, since Cage awakened from a coma at the end of Jessica Jones, and headed straight for this series - and is looking for Chico the whole episode, it's pretty clear what the connection is.ĩ) Turk Barrett (Rob Morgan) first showed up as a recurring character on Daredevil, and has been a supporting character in ol' horn head's comics since 1970. Jeremy Sample, Mahershala Ali, Theo Rossi, Marvel's Luke Cage Myles Aronowitz/NetflixĨ) Throughout the episode, Luke is reading Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins mystery "Little Green." The mystery novel follows Rawlins as he awakens from a coma, and tries to find a missing boy. That name (or a variation) has popped up multiple times in the character's history, usually when he's teamed up with the upcoming Netflix hero Iron Fist as Heroes for Hire. His character was first introduced in the comics in 1972 - before the whole Power Man thing - as Luke Cage: Hero for Hire. "I'm not for hire, but you have my word ma'am, I've got you," Cage tells them. Seagate is also where Luke was imprisoned in the books, and got his powers (more on that in a bit).ħ) At the end of the episode, the proprietors of Genghis Connie's offer to hire Luke. "Seagate wasn't s-," sneers Shades, and later we find out that's where Luke was imprisoned - and met Shades. Interestingly he was/is in prison at.Ħ) Seagate Prison, which gets mentioned by Shades ( Theo Rossi) when Cottonmouth asks him how he's doing. Though Hammer Industries has clearly continued, Justin himself was thrown into prison, showing up in a quick post-credits scene at the end of the Marvel One-Shot film, All Hail the King. He also name checks Justin Hammer, the former head of the company, who was played by Sam Rockwell in Iron Man 2. That's what happened to him.ĥ) Hammer Industries makes the weapons Cottonmouth is black-market selling when his deal goes sour. What happened to Fisk is: he was beaten up by Daredevil in the first season of that show, and then thrown into prison. But all you really need to know is he never got over Reva's death.ģ) You probably picked up on this one, but a guy on the street selling DVDs says, "Tony Stark, the blonde dude, the old man with the shield, the big green monster, and I don't mean Fenway! You can't get better raw footage of the incident than right here." He's talking about the alien Chitauri attack from the first Avengers movie, and totally forgot to name check Black Widow BECAUSE HE'S A MISOGYNIST.Ĥ) "You saw what happened to Fisk," Mariah Dillard ( Alfre Woodard) warns Cottonmouth ( Mahershala Ali). Later when Luke found out about this, he basically broke up with Jessica and then they had an insane fight. Under the influence of the mind-controlling Kilgrave ( David Tennant), Jessica ( Krysten Ritter) killed Reva (the act of which broke said mind control, and freed Jessica). In recent years, other heroes have picked up the Power Man moniker, and Luke now goes by his also totally rad real name.Ģ) Reva Connors might take a little explanation, if you didn't watch Jessica Jones. In the comics, Luke was called Power Man for decades, starting with issue #17 of his self-titled comic. Mike Colter, Marvel's Luke Cage Myles Aronowitz/Netflixġ) "Not a problem for you, Power Man," riffs Pop ( Frankie Faison) to Luke ( Mike Colter) early in the episode.
