During the process of making How Strong videos! I use a multitude of different sources (Google,Reddit,Wikia Even RUclips and etc) and things to make my job of filming videos like this easier! To find scans much faster. I also go back and read context for the comics,games and etc.. and from time to time add my two cents LOL. if it's a movie character, video game characters or anime characters I'm researching? the same applies as well! Big part of the credit goes to the internet itself for putting together these respect threads! On top of my own research and reading!
Just want to make that clear! Enjoy your time here
The series underrated Luke a lot. They shot him in the head with a shotgun which screwed him up, yet Luke from the comics would have laughed it off. Still liked the series, Daredevil I loved. Jessica Jones was a bit too depressing, Iron Fist was plan bad.
Loved the Luke Cage series myself but he was just too nerfed but it was for good reason.. if he wasn't there would be no sense of danger
@@IvaNTheUnStoppable Yes, and let's keep in mind that Luke has powered up over time. The original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe had him listed at being able to lift 3 to 5 tons. His durability has gone up as well. The show was closer to his early power levels than his later. I think his current durability helps him fight other characters above his strength level. Luke needs to be in the cinematic universe!
@@Pseudobadger He's one of several Marvel characters that have fluctuated wildly over the years. Along with Iron Fist he was a a middling level superhero that had a couple of unusual talents to work with. Thats why I liked the two of them together because they weren't worldbreakers, but they did their bit.
They always scale the power back when they put a character from comic to screen. The exceptions are characters like Capt. America, he's way stronger in the MCU than he is in the comics.
Captain America in comics is still stronger than MCU cap lol... He threw his shield through a tank.. is fast enough to react in a microsecond.. which is 1 Millionth of a second hahahah
Luke Cage needs a power up. writers need to level-up his impenetrable skin to indestructible. Meaning it can not be cut by anything, including adimantium. Also; his internal organs are leveled up to where they can take a substantial amount of damage comparable to his skins indestructibility. Make it happen Marvel. It’s overdue.
I agree on that
His skin is strong enough lmao, bit much to increase it to adamantium level resistance, he can already tank a ton, that’s enough. Idk it’s kinda like saying spider man should be stronger, but his strength is already impressive enough. Luke cage is strong enough too. I feel their classes are cool, spider man isn’t bullet proof but is able to dodge a majority of attacks with spider sense, Dare devil basically has 360 vision. Luke cage makes up for lack of senses with bullet proof skin well it’s a lot more than bullet proof being able to tank lasers and junk.
Sorry but Adamantium can totally cut Luke Cage and an Adamantium bullet can kill him.
Maybe instead of that, just increase his healing ability. He's already too powerful.
@@midnighteye2737 Why, in your words, is Luke Cage "too powerful"? Because a BLACK superhero can't be that powerful? I don't hear anyone complaining about Captain Marvel, Rogue, Hyperion, Sentry, or precious Thor. Luke Cage needs a power up and a new series. Get him on the level of those other Marvel powerhouses. Yes, I'm being a little tongue in cheek here, but...just try naming some very powerful Omega level, Black Marvel superheroes... Blue Marvel? Who else? At least DC tries with Icon, Superman Calvin Ellis, Nubia, and Val-Zod.
I glad you did this cause I was wondering just how strong Luke cage really is
You left out one of his greatest powers, the ability to remind us how sweet Christmas is, even in the middle of summer. Power Man for life! Love the video. subbed and liked!
Welcome to the channel!!!
Sweet Christmas
originally he was described as being slightly stronger than spiderman, but he had feats of strength that were waaay higher depending on who he was fighting, he later went through the same process that gave him his original powers and his strength feats were pretty steady around 50 to 70 tons (similar to the wrecking crew that originally they are supposed to be around 30 tons but always seem to show higher strength feats) thanks for the video
Im a yr late people are saying spidey is stronger due to that moment of him lifting 100+tons he normally lifts 25 tons even 50 luke lifts 50-80 tons pisses me off
I like Luke cage he’s a beast highly underestimated
He is top street level character. And can draw blood even from Namor with his punches.
@@alexferrana3979 Jesus seriously?! That’s crazy!
I didn't really agree with daredevils storyline. To me Daredevil was borderline stupid and stubborn. all of the people he tried not to kill came back to hurt him even worse than before. The punisher didn't have that problem
A true Tank...
He also made the Juggernaut's nosebleed; only cause he was half-powered, at that time.
That “Class Strength” thing used to be exactly what it meant. Spider-Man’s “Class 10l strength meant that he could lift 10 tons with maximum effort. Class 100 meant that a character could lift over 100 tons multiple times. Cage got a power upgrade under Bendis. He used to only be able to lift about 3 tons. Luke was strong for street level,but his real power was he was near impossible to hurt.
Even in those days, Spiderman was classed along with Colossus and Luke in the same strength.
What u said is not accurate Luke Cage been classed as 40 ton at best and not 3 ton
@@jamestinsley4981proof that writers make up crap
I always liked it when he was fighting over the name Powerman inside a movie theater he rolled up the theater chair into a ball.
Back in those days Luke Cage was barely able to handle 3 tons , while Spider-Man was at that 10 ton range ' so back in the day , Cage was actually comic book accurate back in the day compared to now as of right now he's easily in the 70+ton range , what Ben Grimm was at !
Spiderman might be 50-90 ton today as well
chirazi Spider-Man is 3,200 tons today wdym
@@quitbeinsilly1062 No he isn't
nat YES he is. Remember in the mcu, he was holding that big ass ferry together with his arms? Yeah that was 3,200 tons
@@quitbeinsilly1062 I meant comics
I’m a comic book nerd from way back. I got into Marvel in the ‘70’s. Luke Cage has always been my favorite non-big name hero. He’s always had class and he genuinely cares about people.
The 70s Luke Cage was the best.... sad how he's been heroically noticed so late in time💯
This was great! I had no idea that Luke Cage was this strong. The tv series really toned down his power and strength.
Glad you are giving the Power Man some love. I have been a fan since the '70's.
Luke cage my boy he a beast
He's a walmart saitama
@@morado5827 lol
@@hallofjames43327 he is tho he makes the same face aswell
I hated when a channel like Danco , do battles and ask you want you think and they state that they believe that this character would defeat that one. But if it's someone they like they are bias. He said ," he believe Spider-Man would win against Luke Cage". Which isn't true , and doesn't back the data, Luke Cage can punch through steel Spidey can't , Luke Cage can fight for 24hrs. Before he even breaking a sweat , the best Spidey can do full strength 2hrs to 3hrs tops before he lose strength.
Spiderman is fully capable of punching through steel, but, he doesn't rely on strength to win his fights. Also, Spidey has gonna 6hrs+ when he fought Morlun, who was draining Spidey every time they made contact. This puts his stamina much higher than you'd think.
I love Powerman, but Spiderman would eat him for breakfast in a fight. Luke is a lot stronger, no question he's as durable as they come, and has super stamina. That being said, spiderman is no weakling, is very agile, has spidersense, has battled stronger characters and won, and has a smarter fight IQ. Not to mention he can always escape battle if things get crazy due to his almost flying ability with his webslingers and can climb walls. In fact, pound for pound spiderman is probably one of the strongest (overall ability not strength) characters.
@@GhettoJohnWick I agree Spidey is strong, but it is usually his impenetrable skin that wins the battle for Luke Cage. Spidey usually has only his suit.
Bro I’m so glad someone else noticed that tomfoolery.
@@GhettoJohnWick explain how spidey would win cause you make no sense and it’s people like you I don’t like cause y’all know who would win obviously and say the other person would knowing damn well he/she isn’t gonna win. So please explain how Spidey can win against Luke.
he was one of my favorite characters to play in Marvel ultimate Alliance
Facts! You played the third one? I love Ultimate alliance three! The best one! my only nitpick is that I wish the graphics look like ultimate alliance two graphics with the realistic style!
Sweet Christmas, I dig this dude! Carl Lucas, aka Luke Cage, is a badass!
Silver Age comics had him around 30-50 tons, but he has always been shown to have very high durability like those who are much stronger than he is. Great examples! Didn't know he fought with so many popular characters.
Luke Cage was not around in the silver age, he’s for sure Bronze Age. But Classic Luke Cage was definitely a 5-tonner, he was being matched by strong, non-enhanced humans like Big Ben Donovan, Piranha Jones, Cottonmouth, and Black Mariah. Maybe in his “Cage” and “Power Man and Iron Fist” series he was stronger, but Classic (Hero for Hire-Power Man) Luke definitely couldn’t have been a 30-50 tonner in my opinion. If he were, people like Gideon Mace and most of his villains wouldn’t even pose a challenge. Plus, most sources that I have seen put Classic Luke Cage at 5 or 3 tons, I’ve never heard of him being a 30-50 tonner during that specific time period. Now, sure. In fact, he’s stronger than that nowadays. But Luke is a character who has grown in strength rather largely over the years.
Well it says he's class 50 now and POSSIBLY MUCH MORE. I think that last bit says it all. I think when he goes full out he can go toe to toe with class 100, but he is more like class 85 or 90. I think he's like Rage!
See that's why i keep telling people don't sleep on my Boy Luke Cage he's the truth
Cage started out at about 3 tons. Lost and regained his power a few times and has gotten stronger over the years. Durability is really his thing but he is NOW an easy 50+ton man.(40-50 can go for short periods against much stronger: see Wrecker,Ikaris,Rogue). Didn't really get back up on that Hulk blow for a WHILE and the "earthquake " was DEFINITELY more the oncoming HUGE ASS Chtholu Beast breaking into our realm. Still at range 50, Invulnerable skin and lots of grit and Street savy Luke is a tough fight for Almost anyone......But it's Blue Marvel that's your World class Brother.
I heard he's a lik' stronger now, like in the 65+ or more tonnage range.
Luke Cage aka "Power Man" the all time favorite superhero of actor Nicholas Coppola who took Luke's name and has been known as "Nicholas CAGE" for the longest. 👊🏾💥
True fact!!
I'm a pretty big fan of Luke Cage. He's one of my top 5 favorite black superheroes. Love his backstory a lot.
I'd like to see Cage go against more powerhouses even tho he'd lose but it would show how freaking tough he is and isn't scared to go toe-to-toe w/the big guns!
Wym lose.😂😂😂 imagine.
He beaten Orka, Absorbing Man, Man Mountain Marko, Iron Clad,. Went toe to toe with Wonder Man, Thing, Proxima Midnight, Old school Iron Man, Juggernaut (half-powered).
Luke Cage vs Rhino...
That was a good measuring stick for the strength of Cage..
Also, Cage beat / curb stomped Absorbing Man while on a date with She-Hulk...
Notice how She- hulk kept running back to get that DDD!!!!
I think the reason Netflix toned him down because on the series he new to using his powers. One of Luke's skill traits is if you do hurt him when he heals his skin becomes stronger. Remember on the show he got shot with the Judas bullet the 1 time it hurt him but the 2nd time on the 2nd season it did nothing. He even mentioned it on the show. In the comics Luke more experienced. So all things that hurt him in the past won't hurt him in the future because of skin durability.
Isnt that a zenkai?
@@youtubestudiosucks978 Yes. Though it’s not an official term in any media I’m aware of, “Zenkai” boosts have been around in comics and whatnot for decades
Thanks for this. Luke is my favorite comic hero and one of the reasons I took up strength sports (powerlifting, strongman, highland games). Plus I resemble him. Lol
Makes sense!!! Relatability is key
Luke Cage gained his powers from a weakened version of the same process that granted Wonder Man his powers, he is now and has been for decades underrated by many.
Well to be more precise, Luke was part of the Weapon program (unknowingly) that created Captain America, Deadpool, and Wolverine. Marvel retcon's are weird, but this one actually works.
It was an amped up version of the program that gave Warpath his powers.
I agree both characters are so underrated
I remember that comic book well when the Hulk slapped him thru those buildings... the Incredible Hulk #300!! Iron fist tried to hit the Hulk with the fist and the Hulk held his hand out and Iron Fist felt the pain of his own powers and went down and PowerMan( Luke Cage) yelled “Danny”.... ran and hit the Hulk with a flying tackle from behind and it was effected but the Hulk turned around and gave him this look and smacked the 💩💩💩💩 outta PowerMan(Luke Cage) and that’s when you see him flying thru those buildings!! Awesome classic comic. Hulk #300. Everybody was in that book fighting him and helping people from the Hulk’s devastation!!!
Right
Luke Cage can now lift/press 50 tons. His durability is approximately the same as titanium steel.
I have the entire collection of Luke Cage graphic novels.
120 issues of Power Powerman and Iron fist. 👍
Wanna sell em
Damn dude that’s awaome cage is ma man
That's pretty impressive.
They really did Luke Cage a disservice when they discarded him after Netflix. Mike Colter is a perfect Luke Cage, the people like the show, and it would bring in a ton of money for Marvel. But alas the Luke Cage tv show was sending the wrong message of trying to be a good dude in the current environment. Can't have that.
That's Disney who owned Marvel majority of comics not all, was not Netflix as Disney got rid of most of the Marvel comic book based series on Netflix. Don't forget Disney was starting Disney Plus streaming, and we know Disney is hard on violent cinema despite Logan which was a Fox property prior to Disney buying Fox
"He's able to shatter a shirt completely made of steel". Valid point but that line is so funny to me 😅
Spiderman should definitely be in the 25 ton class. Also there is no way Luke Cage is faster than him. I would say he might be stronger than spidey(but I think that's a stretch too)and he's definitely more durable. Yeah I'm a huge Spider-Man fan, but Peter has held up collapsed buildings, underwater lairs, fought the Hulk, kept a fully fueled plane from crash landing and not to mention he holds back when fighting. As evident when Doc Ock(Superior Spider-Man)takes over his body he literally punches Scorpions jaw off with the flick of his wrist and is surprised because he doesn't know his own strength.
marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Strength_Scale He's way stronger than spider-man my guy. Lol
This scale is kinda strange and odd
In his early days Cage had trouble breaking a chain. Then he went toe to toe with Ben Grimm ( Thing exoskeleton version) then years later Grimm beat him with ease in Grimm's Marvel Two In One series. When I read the second Marvel Universe handbook in 1986, his listing said he could lift only 3 tons?! I'm glad he's stronger now. I just wish Marvel hadn't killed the speedster Thunderbolt. His battle and team up with Cage in issues 41-43 of Luke Cage, Power Man is one of my favorites. A character with lots of potential.
Luke is my favorite character of all time. Love this video.
He took a punch from THE HULK and survived?! WTF! I'm sold.
Good review on Luge Cage. I get most of my information regarding Marvel’s characters from a series of books called Marvel Universe. These books discuss origins, strength levels powers. They even gave stats on height, weight, and eye color. I will be the first to admit that these books may be somewhat outdated, being published in the late eighties early nineties. However, the information printed is still relatively good. It allows for discussion on this subject matter. Regarding Luge Cage, aka Power Man, it stresses his skin’s invulnerability, which makes him incredibly durable in a battle. While his strength is somewhat impressive, it is his durability that makes him the true badass.
Good assessment! Yes...it's hard to know which category Luke Cage actually falls in terms of strength levels. And since the comic books are the predominate reference and canon, we should always look to that no matter what the MCU presents. I have a comic book where Luke Cage fights Merged Hulk or Prof. Hulk to a draw----period. So this would make him able to stand toe-to-toe with a lot of characters of high strength levels in the Marvel world.
Luke cage on the hulk level. He can take on anybody he'll whoop the justice league ass
He was part of my favorite team ups.
As a child I didn't care about Iron Fist or Power Man, by themselves. And by themselves, their comics didn't sell well.
But teamed up, they were awesome!
I preferred them to DC's Dynamic Duo.
This is more about durability than strength.
Great video Ivan on Luke Cage
Luke Cage is actually stronger than that. He's been class 50 for decades at this point. His top speed is at least over 600mph. He's been shown to move faster than Spiderman and Spidey topped out at more than 1400mph. He has gotten slower since he mostly web swings and doesn't run much.
He should have the Juggernaut Avatar.........
With the chain of cyttorak!!!!!
Gosh!
Really liked the video bro! I didnt how Netflix watered down Luke Cage. Him surviving a nuclear blast is jaw-dropping 😳
He has nearly unlimited endurance so he can run almost indefinitely, also he's very intelligent, no he's not Stark or Richards smart but he's very very smart.
According to the Marvel Database Luke is capable of HERCULEAN levels of strength as the bulldozer incident was done with no strain an it weighed 54 tons. Alot of people also don't know Luke had his power levels increased 3 times. Once in prison where a corrupt guard messed with the controls in an effort to kill him. Then he was exposed to the treatment again and thirdly the power man virus increased his strength yet again. Keep in mind when he fought Namor, some of that fight took place in the water where Namor becomes his absolute strongest.
DUDE, how could you not go over the fact he beat down the MIGHTY Sabertooth. And beat down original power man Trying to get his name back, MR LUKE CAGE SHOWED HIM THE DOOR.
I can't show everything!!!!
Back in the day he was 3 ton. Loved those issues.
Good video such an underrated character.
On the Netflix series, there was that One Bullet that ReaLLy Messed Him Up By Penetrating His Skin Deep Enough To Put Him Outta Commission For Weeks! Knowing Luke Cage From The Comics, I KNEW That Was B.S. Tho!
One of my Favorite comics growing up. Power man and Iron Fist..
He's basically an upper tier Asgardian warrior
This is amazing, please make more like cage videos.
Great video man and luke cage is so cool :]
Needed this. When they say his skin is IMPERVIOUS, they mean it! I hope Cage carries over to the movies in a New Avengers themed movie.
(Edit: also loving this How Strong series! Im surprised you're not getting more views!)
I have a feeling that's gonna change soon! View wise! I'm getting allot of positive feedback from this how strong series!
@@IvaNTheUnStoppable I hope so man. You deserve it!
@@IvaNTheUnStoppable What's up, Ivan! Big fan! You should check his late 90's comics of Heroes for Hire. He was definitely fought more powerful opponents and won. Like Ironclad from the U-Foes, Orka the killer whale villain, Sandman but lost on purpose cause....well didn't want spoil that one! Also, fought one if the deviants, can't remember his name but he was biiig but again lost cause of some plot to the story. In the New Avengers, he fought the Living Laser and told him that tickles cause his powers couldn't penetrate his skin and then knocked him out. Aww yeah also, he beat up the Absorbing Man. My bad, that's enough for now but you check 'em out if you already didn't. Thanks for this vid, playa!
I'll definitely give those a look! Appreciate the love on the page! Hope you're enjoying your time here!
@@IvaNTheUnStoppable I am, right on!
He layed the smackdown on Dr. Doom!
Okay ... Awesome Vid Bro. And also... Yes he has had a couple run-ins with the Hulk. And he has held his own in ALL of them. Including being the catalyst for the Hulk becoming KLUH !!! Luke Cage ... Aka PowerMan..... Is Highly Underrated and was SERIOUSLY nerfed as far as the Netflix Series goes. His Feats of Strength in the comics are unreal... And keep in mind... Sue storms Forcefield have survived... Nukes, Energy Blasts, and even Magical Attacks !!! And Luke was the only one able to break through with sheer force. Now... We are talking a forcefield that stopped the Hulk and Even Galactus !!!! Yeah... Let that sink in !!!!
My all-time Marvel artist Jack "King" Kirby, Gil Kane, John and Sal Buscema, John Romita Sr. & Jr. . And one of my all time fav Jim Starlin. Their artwork were flawless in creating the Marvel Universe
I wouldn't call the Iron Fist show "trash", I actually like it! .
I think the fact I knew so much about the character before watching the show is what made me not like it as much.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMICS & THE MOVIES, THEY ALWAYS JACK WITH THE ORIGINAL STORYLINE!!! THEY HAVE NEW FANS THINKING THAT THIS IS THEIR ORIGINAL STORYLINE AND IT'S BEEN TWEAKED OR CHANGED IN SOME CERTAIN WAY!!!!
Cages durability is off the charts! but his strength is limited
Just wondering but can diamonds cut Luke's skin? With that being said Luke is definitely a Powerhouse.
Apparently no, but some energy lasrer or adamantium or vibranium can cut Luke's skin.
Even though I enjoyed the luke cage Netflix series, it would have been so much better if they gave him decent villains. I was very disappointed that the producers introduced third rate characters instead of a gritty version of a more challenging villain like constrictor and sabretooth.
Good stuff bro. 😎👍🏿
Pretty good video, albeit in need of an update. There are lots of solid feats that got missed. There are also some odd statements here and there that kinda conflict with the comics. Particularly around the 5 minute mark. One example being the comment on the Doom fight since I'm fairly sure Doom lost that fight, or at the very least was losing before it got interrupted? Anyways I look forward to more videos and a possible update:)
*Overall Cage is a pretty underrated power house, who based on everything is sitting in the Thing's range of strength*
Just found your page. Great content im subbed
Luke is a beast end of story.
He also punched She Hulk in the age of Ultron, which caused a small earthquake and knocked her out with one hit!!!
Pls what issue is that I'll like to read it( Luke is a true beast) 🔥
He didnt survive that nuclear explosion. He died soon after.
Learned some things thanks bro
Stay tuned for More Luke Cage Soon :-)
Thanks... I LIKE and respect Luke Cage.
The way you present your content is great bro.. *subscribed*
Great video!
How Strong is Jessica Jones? (Jewel/Knightress/Power Woman)
I love Luke cage he's my idol
speed in combat high end: infinite speed to immeasurable speed layers into it to irrelevant speed
Awesome stuff. I also agree that Luke Cage second best marvel show. First daredevil, third punisher,
what accent do you speak with? I love it! It's very melodious, atmospheric.
Dude Luke gotta a lot of style on the thumbnail pic.
That first season was gold, second season was cool
Luke Cage has been upgraded to class 50.
Sweet Christmas, Luke is awsome!
When you were explaining his speed, all I could think about was:
Bushmaster: “Your not faster than Usain Bolt ya know”
Luke Cage: “I never said I was”
actually when marvel initially started the official marvel strength class chart back in the late 70s, early 80s it did literally mean thats is what they could lift. But when the company agreed to their first crossover with dc, and they had superman state that the marvel supers were only a little less powerful than they were, marvel had to adjust their strength chart. Otherwise, there was no way fights between the characters from different universes could be competitive and relevent.
Im going to say the Netflix show dumbed him down and he was still trying to figure his full potential I'm going that the older the stronger and more durable he will get 💪
Jessica Jones was my fav. She came off as a near perfect flawed hero too me. Luke was up there granted.
I named my son after Luke Cage. They need to re-introduce him into the MCU proper with the same actor from the Netflix shows.
Super heroes have become over-powered. In the 70’s and early 80’s, Marvel especially was, at least partly, more down-to-Earth. True, they had the Hulk, who could become as strong as Superman at the time. But Power Man was nowhere near that. Bullets, depending on the size of the ammo and the kind of gun, could hurt him, like you or I getting hit by small stones. So he got annoyed by being shot, though bullets could not penetrate his skin in general. And his strength was limited, but only relative to other heroes like Thing , who was 20 times stronger. But that’s one of things I loved about Power Man...it made him more relatable. It forced him to use his wits to outsmart more powerful opponents...to out-strategize them, uncover their weaknesses, and out-think them in battle. And it eventually led him to partner with Iron Fist, which to this day is among the most clever partnerships in all of fiction, period. It was especially instructive for me when foes (and some ignorant soon-to-be friends) would underestimate Luke Cage’s intelligence because he’s Black - a mistake villains didn't have chance to make twice.
As for the Netflix version, I confess that I absolutely loved it. Even the cheesier parts (the second half of the first season) was great. And his power levels in the show were pretty much exactly what they had been when I was reading him as a kid. It was perfect. Mike was outstanding as Luke Cage. Geez what a great series. It was so good, Mike was so good, that even Iron Fist became appealing when they were onscreen together. And Cage with Daredevil? I could have watched Cox and Coulter together forever....both actors easily outclassed the material they were given in Defenders. They were both so good, the potential for storytelling was incredibly rich.
It was unforgettable - just perfectly coincident - to have Luke Cage arrive as a live-action series at a pivotal moment in recent history...a Black man who was bullet proof...he’d always been just what he was, but the synergy of his arrival and the timing...it hit like a ripple in the zeitgeist. And it drives me crazy thinking about what might have been - Panther meets Cage - some version of which I still hold out hope for.
Sweet Christmas, it's one of Uptown's finest! 😉
Good video. I didn’t know most of that stuff. The only problem is that the MCU has Black Panther. You know D... well that they are not putting to heavy hitters in one movie.
Cage back in the day was at a strength level class 3. I’m glad that he was upgraded to a class 25, but his claim to fame was always his steel hard skin.
Awesome
I didnt know he was that strong.
That bulldozer he lifted was 50 tons. Meaning hes crazy strong. Didnt know he could survive a nuke.
The powered luke cage way down in the Netflix series. I read power man and iron fist comics back in the 70's and it seems like cage possesses the strength of an average asgardian male(25 tons). Thor is in the 100 ton range. He doesn't have a healing factor, but really need one because he's so difficult to injure. He also filled in for the thing in the fantastic four temporarily. He fought the wrecker who is another 25 tonner and knocked him out with his own crowbar. Luke Cage's stamina, strength, durability and fighting skills make him very dangerous. I'm glad he's one of the good guys.
Great video. I don't recall him getting back up after being cracked by the savage Hulk, though.
Luke cage is as strong and durable as he needs to be for whatever the situation is. That's mainly how his powers work. Tougher the opponent the tougher he gets
For Luke Cage, it has never been how strong he is, he was created for how much he can endure. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to his name however that is his main power, his endurance. If you look at all of his feats, they are rarely about how strong he is however they often show off just how much he can endure. His endurance is just over that of the Hulk, yet he is not even close to as strong as the Hulk...
Wow summed up everything about him and it's accurate.
@@parrishharris3008 Bro you cant Conpare Hulk to Luke Cage, lol. Hulks endurance is by way fare better. Lmao
Do a video on Slug, The Blob, and Big Bertha.
