Marvel's Luke Cage: 25 WTF Moments From Season 1

4. Yo Mamma! 

Luke Cage Diamondback fight

As the fight progresses and the pair each take turns gaining the upper hand, Diamondback engages in some trash talk. About what? Luke Cage's mother, of course.

Yep, this supposed supervillain and badass gangster turns to 'yo momma' jokes when the going gets rough - something the people of Harlem call him out on, because there's no way Luke Cage can just stand there and allow his mother to be insulted.

It was mothers that brought Batman and Superman together. Here, they tear Luke Cage and Willis Stryker apart. Big year for all the superhero mums out there.
