One good thought about those sterotypical japanese paper doors. They're so thin that even a weak fuck like you and me could go full Kool Aid Man on them.

Man, you should read some of the Daughters of the Dragon he wrote in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu.

>>83264524
Is that an evil spirit coming out of that assassin's crotch?

Aw Anon, you spoiled it! I was actually gonna do all of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu after we finish Iron Fist, but just before Iron Fist joins Luke Cage. I'm debating if I should do the White Tiger and Shang Chi parts.

It's actually a secret japanese ninjustu. Now Luke's boot smells like wang.

>>83264642
Shang Chi is pretty sweet, but it's a little off-course. I'm guessing you're not going to post the articles from Deadly Hands, just the comics?

Introducing Moses Magum, Magnum Force! His porn career didn't work out so well, so he kept the costume and became a supervillain.

Unrelated note, but I've found that varying combinations of "rue" and "avenue" have popped up in my capcha a lot. It's weird.

Moses Magnum is a cooler name than Magnum Force, anyway.

>>83264842
They're both french words for street, and a lot of french street signs have been showing up in captcha for some reason.

It's funny that Luke gets this angry about chopsticks, considering it's later retconned that he knows Japanese.
Also the fact that his best friend is the biggest weeb on Earth this side of Wolverine.

How often do we see a villain apologize for doing something to kill the hero, while intentionally killing a henchman?

Holy shit, Luke fell out of a plane, dropped on of a mountain, rolled off the damn thing, hit the water, and didn't even rip his shirt?

I love his X-Men, but I don't think Chris Claremont is the man for Luke Cage.

How many people do you think he's done that too? Do you think all of his bad henchmen get booted out the plane, or does it have to be a really specific kind of fuck-up?

And Magum Force next appears in Claremont's X-Men. X-Anon already storytimed his next appearance.

>http://desustorage.org/co/thread/82303335/#82309669

Now, should I storytime the trilogy where Luke joins the Fantastic Four, or go right back to Power Man?

>>83265944
I think it's because it's like when you pretended your finger was a gun when you were a kid, except it actually works.

>>83266148
This is such a Bond ending, except Luke does not get to sleep with the girl.

Superman flies, though. You can justify it as him grabbing them while matching their fall and slowly decelerating to a stop. They don't always show him doing that, but at least he could.

Cage has ended up shirtless enough times already that I think we'll only start noticing fetishes once his female cast starts inevitably getting tied up in sexualized poses.

Once again, the soda machine proves to be Luke Cage's most insurmountable foe.


Shit, I should've answered that instead of Mace or Diamondback.
Anons, do me a favor, next time somebody comes in these threads and asks who Luke's arch-enemy is, if I don't say it say "The Soda Machine".

You'll notice that none of these characters have appeared for decades. Not even, surprisingly, Claire Temple. You'd think the Netflix series would've caused her to show up as another Night Nurse.

That was the point. Dashiell Hammett's editor didn't approve of any mentions of homosexuality, so he used the word 'gunsel' in the Maltese Falcon because he figured his editor would assume it meant gunman, and he did.

General opinion is that, in the days before VHS and the Internet, only film students watched that movie.
