The man says he is impressed with Luke's abilities, and says that his boss has a very enticing offer for him. He reaches into his coat, pulls out a Daily Bugle magazine, and tosses it on the ground. The front page photo is revealed to be one of Spider-Man as the camera fades to black.
I don't have any experience with Luke Cage media, so feel free to tell me if this sucks or not. I also don't really know any of these characters, I just went with the ones that I thought were the most interesting, so I'm open to any and all suggestions for characters I should add or remove. I'm also not good at naming plans.
