Power Man #17, 1974 - Contacted by Stark Industries, Luke Cage is hired to test security at one of their facilities and steal an exoskeleton. Iron Man intervenes, marking the ex-con's first encounter with another superhero. Luke also adopts the name Power Man for the first time. This necessitates a name change to the series formerly known as  Hero for Hire . This Len Wein story was drawn by George Tuska and Billy Graham. Despite what says on the cover (by Gil Kane and Graham), Luke is not the first black superhero . ///  key   1st appearance  Luke Cage as Power Man,  1st issue - - - - - - - - - - "Rich Man: Iron Man, Power Man: Thief" 19 pages Power Man #17 - - - - - - - - - - Home  /  Power Man  /  Marvel e b a y   > this issue (The affiliate links above earn commissions which help support this blog)
