He'll face menaces as tough as Moses Magnum, as bizarre as the Mace and as infuriating as the Gem Theater's always unpredictable vending machine.

Cage will also face an all-new and amped up Chemistro, the Spear, who seeks to settle a score with the man who made Luke Cage bulletproof, and an adversary as unstoppable as death itself: the IRS.
