14. Shades

Another of Luke Cage's villains, we don't see quite as much of Shades in this trailer as we do Cottonmouth, but nonetheless it's good to finally get a proper look at him.

As the name suggests, he'll be donning sunglasses for the majority of his time on the show, with actor Theo Rossi using Daredevil as a reference point for how he acts without full use of his eyes. It remains to be seen whether those glasses will shoot laser blasts like a visor he wears in the comics (it might be a bit of a stretch, even in a world with a man who has unbreakable skin), but he should have close ties to Cage's past, and has been described as the Littlefinger of Luke Cage, which is pretty exciting.
