Luke Cage is a really well know hero and one who was given a really unequaled shoes in the Marvel Universe when he became city manager of New York City … but he also is not meant to be out vigilante - ing while in role . Maybe this is a way to get around that ?

Rick Jones is a Marvel mainstay from way back when who has been an important part of Hulk , Captain Marvel , Captain America , and Avengers history … but one who does n’t currently have a nursing home in the Christian Bible . Why not give him a wanderer link as well ?

The other two suspects are even more out there . Robbie Robertson is an old Daily Bugle reporterand classic Spider - human support graphic symbol , but he ’s never been an actual superhero before . Then there ’s Madame Masque . The anonymous supervillain is more used to tussling with Iron Man , butthere ’s nothing more Marvel than reforming a supervillain . The transmission line - up is batty all round but has the benefit of covering several different corner of the Marvel Universe . White DoS :

Robbie Robertson has been a staple of the Spider - Man supporting mold for decades , and MAY even have sussed out Peter Parkers closed book . Is he disturbed of just reporting crime instead of doing something about it ?

And eventually , Madame Masque - she ’s a super criminal ! She could n’t be clean up crime in the Venom suit , could she ? Although … the criminal offense he ’s cleaning up DOES seem to be people who betray her and landed her in custody .
