The rumored plot details was first spotted in the superhero news site Heroic Hollywood as the plot revealed that Luke Cage in the Netflix series is a member of gang in Harlem, New York who was framed for crime he did not commit which led him to prison. Apparently the person who put their was Willy Stryker a.k.a. Diamondback, his former childhood best friend who happens to be in the same gang as Luke.

The plot details revealed that both Luke and Willy are in love with the same girl named Reva Connors, which caused some tension between the two. Reva has chosen Luke to be her love interest and Willy became angry for it which led to their friendship falling apart.

Willy plotted against Luke which eventually led him to prison. Just like in the comics, Luke volunteered for an experiment, but goes awry and grants him an indestructible skin and super strength.

IGN reported that Diamond was originally planned to be the main villain in the 2004 Luke Cage movie script which never came out of fruition. Luke Cage in the Netflix series will be played by "Halo: Nightfall" actor Mike Colter and will appear first in another Marvel series, "A.K.A. Jessica Jones" in the fall 2015.

Luke Cage is one of the few Marvel characters that are getting a series treatment alongside other heroes like Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist. Marvel Studios plans to put these heroes together to form the Defenders, similar has to how Iron Man, Thor and Captain America form the Avengers in the MCU.
