Another pair of characters who are brought somewhat closer to their status in the comics are Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. On the page, Jess and Luke are one of Marvel's major power couples and are currently married with a young daughter.

The last time we saw them together in Jessica Jones, the couple's relationship had ended just about as badly as you can get (Jess shot Luke in the head, remember?). When they are forced together here, though, things start to thaw and it becomes clear that they still have some complicated feelings for each other going on under the surface.

At the end of the series, the pair have a heart to heart which ends with Jess suggesting they should "get coffee" sometime. If you've seen Luke Cage, you don't need to be told the double meaning of this phrase.

Though Luke is currently with Claire, this scene leaves the door open for Power Man and the private eye to eventually resume their, er, coffee meetings at some point.
