A couple of months ago, we discussed how
Luke Cage picked the hero name
Power Man.
Someone wasn't too happy about that:
This was one of the first comics I had, before I even started collecting them, and boy did I read the
hell outta this book.
The
old school Power Man is terrorizing the theater where Luke hangs his hat, calling him out to fight over the sobriquet:
We begin with some baseball-related preliminaries...
We're on to the main event,
Friday Night Fights-style!!
The funny thing, after that dust-up, and the dire threat, well, Luke eventually just
gave up using the Power Man name, and
Eric Josten moved on to other names. So, really, a big ol' fight about
nothing. Which is exactly what 85% of
1970s comic books were all about.
Oh, and don't worry--Luke didn't forget the little girl he asked to wait outside:
Now
that's a hero!!
From Power Man #21 (1974)
