Van Lente's new Power Man

News

Just came across an interview with Hercules, Spider-Man, and Marvel Zombies writer Fred Van Lente about a four issue Shadowland miniseries where he’s going to introduce the new Power Man. The original one being Luke Cage, for those who may be unaware.

Van Lente: I didn’t say that. That’s an excellent point. It has quite a lot to do with Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A new Power Man comes on the scene, a hero for hire who advertises on the internet, of course, where all good classifieds can be found now. Unfortunately for him, this is not good timing for becoming a superhero in New York City, because in the areas controlled by Daredevil and The Hand, they have forbidden all, what they call, “costumes” to operate without their sanction.

So he has the Hand after him, and he also has Luke Cage and Iron Fist after him, ostensibly to save him, but also to find out who he is and what the heck he thinks he’s doing. Is he going to join The Hand? Is he going to ally himself with Daredevil? Or will he ally himself with the heroes who are attempting to stop Daredevil before he goes insane with power?”

Sounds like a hell of a pitch to me!
