00:00My name is Luke Cage. I possess strength far beyond that of any ordinary man. My skin is
00:16incredibly tough. I can withstand any form of physical attack. Even bullets cannot hurt me.
00:23The reason I gained this power is that not long ago I was framed and sent to prison.
00:29In prison I refused to bow to the warden's bullying and error. It did not sit well with him.
00:34Before long he had his men beat me up. I was left unable to move. The doctor said there was nothing
00:38they could do. Decided to use me for an experiment. Just then the warden came into the lab. He cranked
00:45the experiment's vial to its highest setting hoping to use it to punish me further. What he did not
00:49expect was that the experiment would go catastrophically wrong. When I woke up again I found
00:55I was the only one who had survived. All my wounds had miraculously healed. I felt power
01:01surging through my body. Cautiously I threw a punch. To my surprise my hand was unscathed.
01:08Sweet Christmas. I kept punching and one blow after another shattered the prison wall.
01:14I escaped. That day I went to my friend's shop and found people bullying them. When I tried to
01:18reason with them they would not listen. One of them threw a punch at me. I picked him up and threw
01:24him out. His companion saw this and immediately grabbed a gun. The moment he fired I caught the
01:29bullet in my hand.
01:34You want some?
01:35I don't even like these niggas man. After they left my friend gave me some money and urged me to run. He feared
01:43those men were associates of the local gang and would not let this go. I reassured them that as long as I was
01:48around nothing would happen. The next day I went to the barbershop as usual. The gang leader walked in
01:52with his men. They did not come to settle the score right away. Instead they had my friend shave the leader's
01:57face. While my friend shaved him the leader warned me not to meddle. Then he got up to leave. I called
02:02after him. He owed my man $25. Don't worry about it. Don't pay to me. I thought they would not cause
02:14further trouble. That night they came back. When the bullets flew I shielded my friend's son. My
02:18friend took a bullet and fell. After they left I rushed to his side. I looked at my friend's body. I was
02:24crushed by grief. I swore I would make them pay.
