I'm not a big fan of how Fred Van Lente creates 'new' characters.

[Steven Ghost]

Almost looks like one of the costumes Janet Van Dyne designed for Cage (seen in 'The Pulse')

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out. FVL hasn't let me down yet.

Interesting. I like the way the costume alludes to Luke Cage's original without being too retro, and the character's power signature looks cool.

Also, it's nice to see that Danny's school hasn't been completely forgotten.

[ThunderWolf!!!]

Luka Cage is a legacy hero now.I didn't see that coming.
I don't like the glasses and what's with the spots.Looks like black Speedball.
Otherwise I hope Van Lente pulls it off.

To be fair, it's not like he was the first Power Man.

[Push You Down]

Yeah... that's weird.

I just hope this is not a setup to kill Cage or otherwise push him to the periphery of the Marvel U.. That would be horrible and make me mad..

I'm interested in this though i really wish Luke was wearing a slight variation of this costume rather then his angry blackman outfit

It's not.

Looks great!

Interesting idea coming from Van Lente, I do enjoy some of his work in Marvel.

I do hope this one is successful as well.

This sounds really cool. I'll definitely check it out.

[artiepants]

cool, i like the concept and aside from the Kneepads, the costumes great: almost looks like what Power Man's costume would of looked like if Hitch had designed it for The Ultimates. and the glowey orange effect is cool, i like the centralized glow in the goggles...

I don't like the glasses and what's with the spots.Looks like black Speedball.

reminded me more of Sunspot.

[Gabe De Los Muertos]

Really cool costume. I'ts cool to get a Hispanic/Dominican character.
