Power Man [Luke Cage] (origin retold); Iron Fist [Daniel Rand]; Misty Knight; Colleen Wing; Jeryn Hogarth; Harmony Young (introduction); Lt. Rafael Scarfe; Claire Temple; Warden Stewart; Stiletto; Discus; Jim Shooter (cameo); Chris Claremont (cameo); John Byrne (cameo); Rackham (cameo flashback); Quirt (cameo flashback); Noah Burstein (cameo flashback); Harold Meachum (cameo flashback)
Today's the first day of Luke Cage's life...
With Luke Cage finally exhonorated for a crime he didn't commit, lawyer Jeryn Hogarth throws a victory party for all of his friends. The party is crashed by Stiletto and Discus, Warden Stewart's super-powered sons, who are gunning for Cage as they feel he has ducked justice and flaunted the law. With four heroes in attendance (as well as their dad), this turns out to be a monumentally bad idea. Luke Cage joins Misty, Colleen and Danny in Nightwing Restorations.
