    His Early Alter Ego Was Known as Power Man Because of His Super Strength - Throughout the years, Luke Cage has adopted various monikers, but the one that tends to stand out most is "Luke Cage, Power Man," which he named himself in order to fit in with all of the other caped superheroes and their alter egos. With his niche being super strength, he conformed, at the time, to help him earn money and survive.(Photo: Myles Aronowitz/Netflix) 

    Mike Colter stars as Marvel’s sexy, bullet-proof superhero known as Luke Cage. Equipped with super strength and unbreakable skin caused by an experiment gone wrong, the hoodie-wearing ex-con is not at all like your typical superhero. All 13 episodes of the Netflix original series are available for streaming starting September 30.

    Kale is so big now it even has its own holiday that falls on Wednesday, October 5 this year. What better way to celebrate than by combining a healthy treat like kale chips with the flavor of the season, pumpkin spice? OK, maybe that doesn’t sound as appetizing as we thought but for $5, we’d give Sprouts Organic Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips a try.
