Technically it's $1254.77 today. With that being said; *Beating up the Fantastic 4, Medusa, Doctor Doom, and inciting revolution for $1,254.77. Yep, sounds reasonable to me.
This is the best comic in history. This nigga Luke Cage broke into the Fantastic Four's HQ, whooped all of them, went to Latveria, fucked all of them up. And then fucked up Doctor Doom. Who else does that?
and then after all of it. Fantastic Four was like "ay bruh, you ran up in Doc Doom's spot and fucked shit up?" OG Cage was like "dont worry bout all that fam. Take your bitch ass airplane ship back, Im callin me a cab. I aint sayin shit. I aint no snitch." straight gangsta. i love Luke Cage.
Rob really glad you did this video. This was written by Steve Englehart. A personal favorite of mine who seems to have been forgotten among all the comic legends. You always hear Claremont, Miller, Byrne, Waid or Morrison but it's rare that Steve gets ANY credit even though his work on certain characters defined them. Beast when the X-Men were failing, Captain America went from a book about to be cancelled to a top seller, Dr. Strange. He created Star Lord. He wrote the Joker fish story in Batman. Created Kilowog for his run on Green Latern. He even created Shang-Chi the Master of Kung Fu. I could go on a rant about his handling of Cap and Falcon's relationship his decision to make Beast an Avenger. He took turd characters and polished them into diamonds. Rant over. Thanks for the vid!
Henchman: "Dr. Doom, Sir! there's an intruder laying waste to our entire base" Doom: "What sort of fool would dare to even raise a fist in Doom's Dominion!?!?" Henchman: "I'm not sure but he keeps on yelling at everyone asking about his '200'?" Doom: "What kind of a mad man yells abou-*pauses and ponders-.... oh shit...."
Damn, He wanted his money, Fought the FF(winning the fight), demanded to fly to Latervia, actually flew there, joined a rebel alliance, made it to Doom, fought him and collected his money and left, then drops off the plane and leaves. Don't keep a black man from his daily bread, that's for sure.
When you have Doom's level of finances and you stiff someone over what is approximately $1200 by todays standards, that's just the highest form of douchebaggery...
Bro trying to catch the fade with classic era dr doom, who essentially has cosmic level power every week for $1200 is pure stupidity but also pure badassery
That's why he's the goat lmao. Doom doesn't give a fuck and is totally ready to murder a gang of kids for random shit. But that's also why Luke doing what he did is peak
Hey Rob, the reason Medusa was there with the Fantastic Four was because Sue Storm had left the Fantastic Four at that point due to Reed shutting down Franklin Richards mind. It's an interesting story arc if you should do a thing about it. Medusa filled in for Sue's place on the team due to the fact that she was hanging out with them at the time.
I appreciate all your videos and the immense amount of effort you put but these quick videos that really don't mean anything are probably some of the best -- mainly for the hilarious nature of it.
I swear, this story is the best thing ever, LMAO.... I watch this at least once every other day, lol. It's like the best episode of a hilarious sitcom or somethin'. Too damn funny!!!
I LOVE Rundown's. This one was absolutely hysterical. Rob and I said "WOW" right at the same time @ 3:08! I was laughin' my ass off. Please keep 'em comin' Rob.
I remember reading that book. Luke Cage was the comic that introduced me to comics. I had no idea who Dr. Doom was. I know this was the 70s. I think I was about 10 when this came out. I can't imagine how angry that story must have mad FF fans at the time. It's absurd that Cage could take down someone that battled the Silver Surfer and the FF.
I want my 200 hundreds dollars!! (Travels the world whooping ass, travel costs range into the thousands) yeah got my money sucka. Lmao what a time to be alive
Man rob I know this is a old video you put out but i am just seeing it today and I'm going through a really hard time in my life but this made me smile your awesome man. Hope you and Mariah stay as happy as you are your an inspiration.
"imma take it out of your bank account. or imma take it outta yo ass". LMAO Rob, you gotta hit the hands to emphasize how serious about that money he was. but overall, I'm over here on the ground. lol.
It wasn't a story, it was a comic activity book. It was sort of teaching kids about numbers. Lex Luthor stole forty cakes. That's 4 tens. And that's terrible.
that reminds me of an old silver age teamup between luthor, toy man, and the prankster?(i forget his name) to take down superman. They each took turns trying to fuck with Superman, but only Luthor did anything threatening. All that the other two did was stupid shit like drop pies on his head when he triggers a tripwire.
Any recommendations for other Luke Cage stories to read? I've really enjoyed the recaps you've put up lately and dig the light heartedness of those stories
I enjoyed this video. I had to pause it from time to time to get my coffee ready; I didn't want to miss a sec of it. I guess if I had read the comic I wouldn't have enjoyed as much as what I did just now. Thanks!
At first I thought oh man this is gonna be garbage but really when I watched it longer it made sense and more plausible this is the kinda stories that the grey Hulk would be in if it wasn't for the green hulks bad reputation .
I freckin' loved the 70's cop show curtain at the end. This is actually one of the best stories in the realm of comics, Luke Cage can't give a single f*ck throughout the entire situation and just wrecks everything ♡
YOU HAVE NOT FOUGHT THE CAGE!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMICS OF ALL TIME!!! I own it! Screw World breaker's Hulk. I'm afraid of Yo add owe money Cage!
This is incredible. :). I heard about this before but to hear it be true. Is it sad I want something like this for the Netflix series or at the very least referenced? Because in all honesty, who doesn't want to hear Mike Colter say these lines?
ROB, YOU ROCK! In 1972 when that Power Man came out, I was playing football at a very prestigious Prep School in Marion Massachusetts. Being a prep school, they really frowned upon comic books. And my teammates used to make fun of people who read them. One day after practice it was raining like hell and the guys needed a ride back to their dorm. I was lucky enough to have a van and I lived in the next town over so I did not have to board there. So when all my teammates piled into the back of the van unfortunately one of them found my comic books. I was incredibly embarrassed, but I stuck to my guns and said have you ever fucking read one!!?? So by whatever incredibly good luck it was the top one on the pile was that comic. One of my more intelligent teammates actually started reading through it. He started asking me questions who Luke Cage was and why he would being able to do what he did. By the way the only black guy on our entire football team. He was also the captain of the football team. He went to Tabor on a scholarship from Harlem. Being a incredibly smart person he read through it in a heartbeat and laughed his ass off. And then to save me from embarrassment he asked if he could borrow a couple of more. Thanks Rob you don't know what that meant to me because that was one of the funniest stories ever! P.S. the guy always borrowing the comic books and return them in front of large groups of people just to piss off all the preppies. Of course no one ever said anything to him about it he was the scariest man in the whole school. hence why he got a scholarship. He was an incredible athlete, a talented musician and had a 4.0 class grade average. I hope he still reads them. Rob, I follow all your RUclips videos. Great delivery and your enthusiasm is contagious at times. As an example, this video and your responses to it were hysterical. Love your whole series a history of the Marvel Universe. Thanks again keep up the great work!
Really need a teamup story with Luke and that newspaper boy from Better Off Dead. That have very similar issues with putting disproportionate amounts of effort into collecting debts. "I want my two (hundred) dollars!"
Also, note that Reed is absolutely fine with giving Luke a rocket ship worth millions the moment he hears that it's going to mess with Victor. You want a favor from the FF, just mention Doom. If only poor Rom, Spaceknight had known the secret.
Man Rob, the Rundown is great!! Your handling of it is fantastic and you make laugh so hard I cry with joy! Luke Cage is not a man to FUCK with when money's owned! GREAT STUFF ALWAYS!!!
Luke cage, the only dude who would invade a country and fight one of the most powerful beings on earth for $200.
hey man, when you get jibbed from money, you want your damn money
That's called catching a Black Man on a really bad day.
It's the principal of paying what you owe street code lol
At that point it wasn't even about the money for Luke it was about the principle of the thing.
Do a RUclips video on Milestone Comics.
Beating up the Fantastic 4, Medusa, Doctor Doom, and inciting revolution for $200. Yep, sounds reasonable to me.
Ahem, talk about a Cage match...
$200 in the 70s is like $1000 in todays money
Technically it's $1254.77 today. With that being said;
*Beating up the Fantastic 4, Medusa, Doctor Doom, and inciting revolution for $1,254.77. Yep, sounds reasonable to me.
+StophersRAWR ye it makes a lot of sense
No, it wasn't 200 bucks. It was 200 Latverian bucks.
Luke Cage : Hey remember that time I beat your ass for $200
Doctor Doom: Let's not keep bringing up the past.
Luke Cage: Why? You time travel before.
Lmfao!!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Remember that time Luke Cage gave a fuck? Because I sure don't
Fucks went for $187 back then. He couldn't afford to spare any fucks until Doom paid him
sakazakijin lmao nice
Man, Pepperidge Farm don't even remember that, sucka.
Then you haven't been paying attention he gave a f*** about that $200 :p
I'm more surprised by the fact he got that taxi so fast XD
taxi's don't pick up brothas in NY. thats where it lost me
Even in front of the Baxter building ?
ESPECIALLY in front of the Baxter building.
Hahahaha
maybe the taxi driver was white.
*YOU HAVE NOT FOUGHT THE CAGE!*
Hinotsuj Warrior yo hello he is not full of the cage
Yo my ninja OMG The Rundown is the best out here point Blank
Yooooooooooolmao The Human Torch said the subways around the corner and we ain't got no spare change son lol this is fracking great
"wheres my money honey" LMAO
thats was the best part im weak from laughing
The best line in the book is, "Where's my money, honey?"
"You've just been CAGED!" - Luke Cage, 1972.
This is the best comic in history. This nigga Luke Cage broke into the Fantastic Four's HQ, whooped all of them, went to Latveria, fucked all of them up. And then fucked up Doctor Doom. Who else does that?
All for $200.
The four scariest words in the Marvel Universe are "Where's my money honey?"
shut up lmao!!!
and then after all of it. Fantastic Four was like "ay bruh, you ran up in Doc Doom's spot and fucked shit up?" OG Cage was like "dont worry bout all that fam. Take your bitch ass airplane ship back, Im callin me a cab. I aint sayin shit. I aint no snitch." straight gangsta. i love Luke Cage.
Agreed!!
You left out the best part. When Luke bursts in on Doom he asks him, "Where's my money honey?"
If Luke Cage comes to my doorstep demanding 200 bucks, I'd just pay him. My robots are worth much more.
Rob really glad you did this video. This was written by Steve Englehart. A personal favorite of mine who seems to have been forgotten among all the comic legends.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao Underrated comment
This is literally a winner!!🤣💀
Luke cage should have known Doom was sellin wolf tickets, Latvaria is located right next to Jive, Turkey.
im dead
omg made my day
😂😂😂
👌
I raise my beer to you good sir.
That was a most excellent joke.
This has got to be one of the best stories ever
Ok, this made me laugh so hard, especially with Rob's top notch narration!
"You can't just break into our mansion trying to steal our ship!"
"I don't give a DAMN!"
I'm crying lolol
And by the way, no thanks for sharing me your ship and you ain't gonna know shit about the whole story either, see ya later suckers ! XD
My man flew to Dr. Doom to collect $200?!
200$ was worth *WAY* more back then.
You cant beat K
Not enough still lmao
It was worth about $1200 and he was getting paid per day so if it was about a week that means it was $8400.
And fought the fantastic 4 just to get to doom
Damn, He wanted his money, Fought the FF(winning the fight), demanded to fly to Latervia, actually flew there, joined a rebel alliance, made it to Doom, fought him and collected his money and left, then drops off the plane and leaves. Don't keep a black man from his daily bread, that's for sure.
When you have Doom's level of finances and you stiff someone over what is approximately $1200 by todays standards, that's just the highest form of douchebaggery...
onealmusicgroup I'm not surprised luke went through all that noise, I'd kick doom's ass on principle
Mathew Flott watch your words
Bro trying to catch the fade with classic era dr doom, who essentially has cosmic level power every week for $1200 is pure stupidity but also pure badassery
That's why he's the goat lmao. Doom doesn't give a fuck and is totally ready to murder a gang of kids for random shit. But that's also why Luke doing what he did is peak
This story was made by a genius.
I just read these issues too. $200 in the 70s is no joke!
Wish MCU Luke Cage had this kind of persona. He's too much of a pushover in the tv series.
Because the jive turkey has the personality of a cardboard box
This was hilarious! I love Luke Cage a lot more after this! Thanks
Haha, Doom paid more in repairs and restock than it would have cost him to just pay Luke.
Some people only learn the hard way
It's not so much that it's Cage Vs. Doom. It's that it's Cage Vs. Doom for $200.
You ain't fought the cage!
This story is freaking hilarious!! Lesson learned never try to fuck over Luke Cage when he does a job for you
Medusa and Johnny Storm were a thing for years, that's why she's at the Baxter Building.
FrayedLogic sue and reed broke up too during that time
Hey Rob, the reason Medusa was there with the Fantastic Four was because Sue Storm had left the Fantastic Four at that point due to Reed shutting down Franklin Richards mind. It's an interesting story arc if you should do a thing about it. Medusa filled in for Sue's place on the team due to the fact that she was hanging out with them at the time.
Ironically, it was Namor who brought Reed and Sue back together.
Moral of this story no one stops a black man in his pursuit of currency lol I should know #getmoney #fightthecage
The Amazing JSonX Damn straight ✊🏾
Your unfettered enjoyment in this vid made my favorite Luke Cage story even better!
One of the few times Doctor Doom had admitted defeat.
Cage like "Put some RESPECK ON MY NAME"
"Crazy Black Man Wreaking Havoc In My Land!"
This is quite possibly the funniest comic I've ever seen
This is my favorite video uve ever done
This is absolutely amazing. The rundown has become my favorite
Luke Cage was "Donald Trump"ed by Dr. Doom
Yar fired
Ya and got his but handed to him.
I appreciate all your videos and the immense amount of effort you put but these quick videos that really don't mean anything are probably some of the best -- mainly for the hilarious nature of it.
Luke Cage is also awesome in the Avengers cartoon. "Yo man, you mess with us you ain't going to jail. You going to the hospital".
The way you summarized this comic had me laughing. please do more ridiculous stories like this your hilarious to listen too :)
I swear, this story is the best thing ever, LMAO.... I watch this at least once every other day, lol. It's like the best episode of a hilarious sitcom or somethin'. Too damn funny!!!
I LOVE Rundown's. This one was absolutely hysterical. Rob and I said "WOW" right at the same time @ 3:08! I was laughin' my ass off. Please keep 'em comin' Rob.

I can't imagine how angry that story must have mad FF fans at the time. It's absurd that Cage could take down someone that battled the Silver Surfer and the FF.
lmao. I'm starting to like the rundown. this is a better way to start your day than breakfast. disagree? that's because you ain't fought the cage!
I want my 200 hundreds dollars!! (Travels the world whooping ass, travel costs range into the thousands) yeah got my money sucka. Lmao what a time to be alive
Man this is by far one of your best videos I am I’ve been laughing at this for like the last hour
LMAO, this comic is a gem!
That was probably your best rundown yet. I gotta find this comic to read.
"I pity the fool" who wants a piece of luke cage. "Bitch better have my money"
One of the best comics explained yet.
Haven't heard Rob laugh like this in a long time. Would be lying if I said I wasn't also.
Lmaoooooooooo man! This was funny as hell! Luke Cage don’t play about his money! He wants his chips, with dip!!
Now that Disney have bought Fox this has to be the first move they make between the fox and marvel characters
#you have not fought the cage hahahah
LOL. Idk which was funnier, hearing you having such a good time or the content of the video itself!
"wheres my money honey" LOLZ
Whenever I need a good laugh I watch this video. Has me in tears every time.
$200.00 in 1972 had the same buying power as $1,174.85 in 2017
The Cage is now my favorite character...lol hard...thanks Rob
Luke Cage is the definition of ON SIGHT NIGGA!
for real keep doing these stories cause it's hella entertaining that you're entertained talking about em ....love the channel keep up the good work
Man I ain't saying shit and he leaves lmao. 😂😂😂😂
Man rob I know this is a old video you put out but i am just seeing it today and I'm going through a really hard time in my life but this made me smile your awesome man. Hope you and Mariah stay as happy as you are your an inspiration.
"and that's the end of the story"😂😂😂😂 #taxi
Comics has gone so far from this...however i got a good laugh thanks bro
That was sooo amazing! lmfao!!! Heros have all these plans take out Doc Doom when all it takes is to walk up in his crib hand an ass whoopin!!!
This is your best video yet. Loved it!
he should have gotten help from Senor Magico
"imma take it out of your bank account. or imma take it outta yo ass". LMAO Rob, you gotta hit the hands to emphasize how serious about that money he was.
but overall, I'm over here on the ground. lol.
I think there's a story about lex Luther stolen Pies or cakes
It wasn't a story, it was a comic activity book. It was sort of teaching kids about numbers. Lex Luthor stole forty cakes. That's 4 tens. And that's terrible.
TheKyrix82 That is pretty terrible
U know who else steals pies?...
Woolie.
that reminds me of an old silver age teamup between luthor, toy man, and the prankster?(i forget his name) to take down superman. They each took turns trying to fuck with Superman, but only Luthor did anything threatening. All that the other two did was stupid shit like drop pies on his head when he triggers a tripwire.
TheKyrix82 That has since been made canon.
I think this is the best comic you have ever reviewed lol literally laughing out loud
Any recommendations for other Luke Cage stories to read? I've really enjoyed the recaps you've put up lately and dig the light heartedness of those stories
I enjoyed this video. I had to pause it from time to time to get my coffee ready; I didn't want to miss a sec of it. I guess if I had read the comic I wouldn't have enjoyed as much as what I did just now. Thanks!

THEY MENTIONED LATVARIA IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF LUKE CAGE! LUKE CAGE LAVTARIA WAR CONFIRMED
Sadly they did not, it was Latvia they referenced.
Ah. You're right. Dang : /
And those guys were speaking Polish :P
I will totally watch that series if they do a tv version of this story
"Bitch better give me that money"
- Ol' dirty Bastard
Nothing changed
Dynoooomite!
dynamite! dynamite!
I'm not sure what's funnier stories from back then or Rob's commentary 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Big Cheese should have done this to ReviewTechUSA to get his $200.
I really hope somebody gets this.
Jimmy Turner lol I remember this
this might be the best 1 yet lol
lol. Luke cages ring tone is probably bitch betta have my money. like a true g. you gonna pay what you owe.
THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE!!!
This needs a live-action adaptation
YOU HAVE NOT FOUGHT THE CAGE!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMICS OF ALL TIME!!! I own it! Screw World breaker's Hulk. I'm afraid of Yo add owe money Cage!
This is incredible. :). I heard about this before but to hear it be true. Is it sad I want something like this for the Netflix series or at the very least referenced? Because in all honesty, who doesn't want to hear Mike Colter say these lines?
Too bad Doom is owned by Fox 😔
It'd be too goofy. Your best bet is to hope for a Squirrel Girl show.

Really need a teamup story with Luke and that newspaper boy from Better Off Dead. That have very similar issues with putting disproportionate amounts of effort into collecting debts. "I want my two (hundred) dollars!"
Also, note that Reed is absolutely fine with giving Luke a rocket ship worth millions the moment he hears that it's going to mess with Victor. You want a favor from the FF, just mention Doom. If only poor Rom, Spaceknight had known the secret.
This is the greatest comic I have ever seen I was dying throughout this whole thing😂😂
YOU AINT FOUGHT THE CAGE!!!!!! ~_~
i cannot put into words how much i love your rundown series. do one with deadpool sometime!
Yo he fucked up everybody in this shit. Can't mess with Cage
Ricky Wilson Ghost Rider :>
Man Rob, the Rundown is great!! Your handling of it is fantastic and you make laugh so hard I cry with joy! Luke Cage is not a man to FUCK with when money's owned! GREAT STUFF ALWAYS!!!
Luke Cage is fucking savage
LMAOOO!!! Loved this and the 70's music!! The Rundown is the best
oh shit doom got 200 bucks beat out of him lmao !! the same guy who took over the world a few times lol
Dusk Deity and became a god a few times!
I just stumbled on this gem and it had me laughing very much. Both the story and the commentator. good stuff.
can't watch dr doom video without thinking of MF DOOM
What I like, is how much you like it. You can make a bad story great. You have a gift sir.
