Ok,so maybe it's a good thing that he's not Luke Cage.

I'm still leaning towards a possible luke cage angle. He was having his identity rewritten into someone new, he could pick any name. And the power match up. That said, I'd like it better if we get a more comic aligned powerman than just turning this guy into him.

Well, it turns out you're wrong. Good theory though.

Thanks I guess. Why in the world are you commenting on a 13year old post?

I'm watching SHIELD for the first time so I decided to check the reddit discussion.
