OK, I'm kind of sad to be making my last pick, this was fun.
In the category of Wild Card Hero I take...
Luke Cage, Hero For Hire... wrongly convicted and unjustly imprisoned, was altered in a failed prison experiment that gave him bulletproof skin and super-human strength. He has a take-no-prisoners attitude now!

"Power Man and Iron Fist" comics were hands down my favourites growing up. Iron Fist was awesome but Luke Cage was THE MAN and so I had to pick him in this draft. Nobody had better dialogue than Cage. He wouldn't hesitate to call you "jive turkey" or "sucka". It was like watching an old Dolemite movie if he had superpowers! Admittedly, I like the present day shaved-headed street clothes-wearin' hero he has become but nuthin' was cooler than his big yellow disco shirt, chain belt and big afro.


Nobody was cooler than Cage.
