Marvel fans only have to wait ten days before "Luke Cage" (Mike Colter) finally sets foot on the popular Web Streaming Site Netflix.

Marvel fanatics first witnessed the comic giant released a street-level hero through "Daredevil". It featured a New York lawyer by profession and a street-level hero by night Daredevil through the character named as Matt Murdock. The series was released on April 10, 2015.

It wasn't long after "Jessica Jones" series came in. This is where viewers also had a first look of Luke Cage. Jessica Jones was first released on Netflix last year in November.

It is a huge step for Marvel to undress their effects-focused uptake on superheroes and dwell on humans with extraordinary powers. However, it seems that Marvel obsessives love the transition, as evident with Netflix and Marvel's third collaboration for a street-level hero series.

Luke Cage's character was first created as an advocacy against blaxpoitation. Cage's character representation and story evolved through the years, however, he remained the same tough, hero for hire, no-nonsense figure until today.

In the series, Cage will be forced to take on two jobs after getting out from the jail, since it was hard for him to acquire a full time job with benefits. He works as an assistant at a local barber shop Pop's by day and works as a dishwasher at a mobster-owned nightclub by night.

The character will struggle from time-to-time with his temper, which is basically his weakness as well as his strength. The problems that will rise in the story are quite similar to other superhero-related movies and shows, however, the character of Luke Cage, most often than not, also brawls with being identified as a criminal. Truth is, behind the judgment is a good guy who was punished for a mistake he did not do.

According to a report by Gadgets 360, the series will also dwell on how the black community unites in their identity, group mentality, honor, respect, and self-expression.

Marvel's Luke Cage will be available on Netflix by September 30.
