"Luke Cage," being the new Marvel show on Netflix, is among the highly anticipated original series releases for September.

The titular character is just a regular guy wanting a peaceful life although trouble seems to find him everywhere. Luke Cage basically is Marvel's Netflix black superhero. He doesn't have a fancy suit and he looks more like a thug than humanity's savior, which only makes him a highly relatable character.

Introducing Marvel's Luke Cage

Fans who have been following the "Jessica Jones" series in Netflix know about how Cage lost his wife. As detailed on preview spoilers, the Netflix version opens with Cage moving to Harlem after his relationship with Jones fell apart.

After being a lab rat in an experiment, Cage was endowed with impenetrable skin and super strength. Despite his desire to lead a quiet life, a "necessary evil" pushes Cage into action.

Blue-collar Superhero With Human Frailties

Marvel may not lack humanity in showcasing their heroes but unlike any other comic book character, Luke Cage is more relatable. Cage is depicted much like the regular thug wearing a hoodie and his signature accessory. He may be involved in a Shakespearean story set in Harlem but this doesn't mean he isn't concerned for everyone's welfare.

Cage is the superhero who does his social responsibility so he takes it upon himself to clean Harlem. Clad in his hoodie, he gives the "black thug" look a more positive connotation.

It is still unclear, however, if Cage would be costumed in his signature yellow shirt and boots similar to the comics. Mike Colter, who plays Luke Cage in the series, reveals almost nothing in his interviews, although he does point out that "you're going to see the yellow shirt, but if you're going to see it, it'll be in Luke Cage's series."

Being the first black superhero featured in Marvel, the 13-episode series could lead to more Luke Cage films and stories. "Luke Cage" Netflix release date is scheduled on Friday, Sept. 30.
