Marvel Is Giving Luke Cage a New Look in an Upcoming Series

As a seasoned Marvel fan with over two decades of comic book adventures under my belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming limited series, “Power Man: Timeless.” The concept of Luke Cage, our beloved Harlem hero, wielding the powers of Iron Fist, Sentry, and the Hulk is mind-blowing!


Luke Cage, though not as widely recognized as some other Marvel superheroes, enjoys significant popularity, thanks in part to the success of the series where he appears. Luke Cage is not just a typical superhero; he represents proper representation, and so far, Marvel has been excelling in this aspect with him.

Meanwhile, we’re excitedly counting down the days until Luke Cage joins the MCU, as it seems his arrival is just around the corner. In the meantime, Marvel comic books are providing us with a wealth of new material about the character. For instance, there’s a five-issue limited series in the pipeline for 2025.

In this upcoming series, Luke Cage joins forces with other superheroes for a joint mission, but there’s an intriguing twist: Luke will don a fresh new appearance and possess the abilities of his fellow teammates. This sounds thrilling, and we can’t wait to see how the writers develop this unique storyline!

If you’re curious about where this tale originates, it was initially presented in the Marvel Timeless anthology from last year, where a fresh Power Man, or Luke Cage, made his debut. This means that our beloved superhero has undergone a style change and gained new abilities. Moving forward, Marvel plans to launch a five-issue limited series called Power Man: Everlasting, set for release in 2025, with the “new” Luke Cage as the main character.

In our previous discussion, we hinted at Luke Cage being joined by other heroic figures in an unusual manner. Here’s how the narrative unfolds: set in a future era, Luke Cage, as Power Man, stands alone as the sole superhero left alive. However, he has absorbed the powers of Iron Fist, Sentry, and Hulk on top of his own abilities. Although these heroes won’t physically appear in the story, their powers are integrated within Luke Cage – that’s the twist we mentioned earlier.

The comic book series is set to be penned by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, featuring artwork by Bernard Chang. According to Marvel’s official description:

This individual is relentless, invincible, unyielding, eternal, and solitary. He goes by the name POWER MAN. Originating from the sensational tale in TIMELESS, the god-defying, Gamma-enhanced, iron-fisted Luke Cage from the future arrives in the contemporary Marvel Universe, only to encounter an adversary and a puzzle that will test even his extraordinary capabilities! Written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Bernard Chang, POWER MAN offers an exclusive journey through the cosmos, a journey that only Marvel Comics can provide!

The initial episode is set to drop on February 5, 2025, a date that will provide us with additional insights into the series’ narrative and plot.
