Luke Cage might not be a mainstream Marvel superhero, but the character is extremely popular, which is in part due to the success of the television series in which he starred. Luke Cage is a character that is more than just a superhero – he is a symbol of proper representation, and so far, Marvel has been doing a great job with him.
And while we’re eagerly waiting for Luke Cage to come to the MCU, as the integration seems imminent, Marvel’s comic books are giving us a lot of new material featuring the character, including a five-issue limited series that is going to come out in 2025.
The series will feature Luke Cage and a group of superheroes on a shared adventure but with a twist. Cage will sport a brand new look and will have the powers of his colleagues from the group, which sounds very exciting, and we are very excited to see what the writers have in store for us.
If you’re wondering about the roots of this story, it is in last year’s Marvel Timeless anthology, which introduced a new Power Man in the form of Luke Cage. This means that the popular superhero is now sporting a new look and has new powers.
Building on that, in 2025, Marvel is going to release the five-issue limited series titled Power Man: Timeless, which will feature the “new” Luke Cage as the titular protagonist.
We said that Cage would be accompanied by other heroes but with a twist. Namely, the story goes as follows: we are in the distant future, and Luke Cage, as Power Man, is the last surviving superhero.
In the meantime, he gained the powers of Iron Fist, Sentry, and the Hulk, alongside his own. This means that the heroes will be present, although not in person, as it seems, which is the twist we were talking about.
But, Cage might be pulled back into the main timeline to help the heroes, so it will be an interesting clash of timelines, so we might see the other heroes after all.
The series will be written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Bernard Chang. Marvel officially describes the series as follows:
He is unstoppable. Indestructible. Incorruptible. Immortal. And utterly alone. He is POWER MAN. Ripped from the breakout story in TIMELESS, the god-slaying, Gamma-powered, Iron-Fisted, Sentry from the future Luke Cage arrives in the modern Marvel Universe, only to discover a foe, and a mystery, that will challenge even his incredible abilities! From TIMELESS scribes Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing and artist Bernard Chang, POWER MAN is a guided tour of the solar system that only Marvel Comics could provide!
The first issue will be released on February 5, 2025, which is when we will know more about the series and its story.
