CLASSIFIED! Thunderbolts subscribers will get this title from now on. Luke Cage believes in redemption. It’s how he became the man he is today. When Cage was still a young man he began running with street gangs. He later went to prison, for a crime he didn’t commit, but Luke still wasn’t an innocent. While imprisoned he volunteered to take part in a strange experiment that endowed him with super human strength and nearly unbreakable skin. The experiment went awry and led to Cage’s escape. Once freed he didn’t return to a life of crime, though. Instead he put his super powered gifts out there for hire to anyone who needed a hero. Eventually Luke cleared his name and today leads both his own Avengers team and the U.S. Government’s Thunderbolts program which tries to rehabilitate super criminals, by sending them on super heroic missions. Luke is used to dealing with crime and criminals and tries to not take their actions personally. This summer, he’ll be forced to deal with a set of criminals he does have a personal grudge against, Norman Osborn’s latest incarnation of the Dark Avengers, who tried to kill him and his family in a recent arc of "New Avengers."
