Marvel's Luke Cage: 44 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed
38. Seagate, Dr Burstein & Rackham
The flash-backs to Luke's time in prison reveal he was incarcerated in Seagate Prison, just as he was in the comics. The warden - Warden Stuart - is also from the comics (his son grows up to be a supervillain called Stiletto).
The over-zealous, stereotypical bad cop prison guard Albert "Billy Bob" Rackham is an original comic book character, who debuted in Hero For Hire #1 in 1972.
Reva works there too, and she claims there's "no X-Files stuff going on there": no experiments, no ghost stories...
And then there's Dr. Noah Burstein who appears later. In the comics his father was a Nazi working on attempting to replicate the Captain America Super Soldier serum. He experimented to the same end, creating Warhawk while working in Vietnam and then moving on the Seagate where he created Luke Cage.
We've also been to Seagate before, in the All Hail The King one-shot, which Justin Hammer also appeared in very briefly.
