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

20. Sweet Christmas, Power Man

Thankfully, Luke Cage doesn't have his yellow Power Man costume from the comics throughout the series. While it's an important part of the character's history, it'd be far too jarring for a dark and serious show.

However, the series does still find room to pay homage to it, in a similar fashion to how the Jewel costume appears in Jessica Jones.

On the run from Seagate, he still has the metal bands around his head and forearms when he randomly picks some clothing off a washing line - and it just so happens to be a bright yellow top. It looks suitably silly, and Cage himself greets his appearance with an exclamation of "Sweet Christmas!"
