Why Marvel's LUKE CAGE Isn't POWER MAN Anymore || NerdSync

Marvel's Luke Cage is the star of a brand new Netflix series, so of course we're going to talk about him! Specifically, we're diving into the hero for hire's history to find out why he chose the superhero identity of Power Man only to stop using it and simply go by Luke Cage shortly after. We also discuss other heroes from comics who don't use alter egos to hide their secret identities. As Mike Colter so elegantly delivers, "Sweet Christmas!"
