Ah, Luke, sometimes the old tricks are the best, eh?
35 years ago, Cage pretended to work for Harlem gangster Cornell Cottonmouth in order to flush out a the records of the dope shipment that was used to frame him. Once Luke got what he wanted, he turned on Cottonmouth, and went back to the side of the angels. No, that doesn't sound anything at all like this week's issue of New Avengers.
Anyway, it turns out that Cottonmouth is super-strong. It's never explained how (although that sure looks like a piece of the Bloodstone, or maybe the Ruby of Cytorrak, that he's wearing, eh?). And I don't think he ever appeared again, so we'll probably never know.
Anyway, on with the battle!!
At one point one of Cottonmouth's flunkies is accidentally knocked out the window...
Spludd for me, sir!!
On the big finish--
Ouch, babe.
If Luke tried to body slam Spacebooger like that, well, it wouldn't be pretty.
