As it would turn out, Stokes has a cop on his payroll, Detective Scarfe who has already killed for him. Stokes learns of Cage’s location and uses a missile to take him out. While trapped in the rubble, we get to see through flashbacks a lot of Cage’s past at Seagate Prison where he went by his given name of Carl Lucas. It is here where the connection between Cage and Alvarez is shown as they were both inmates. At Seagate, Cage is forced to engage in some illegal fights by C.O. Rackham. When prison psychologist Dr. Reva Connors learns of this, she and Cage try to expose Rackham only to have Rackham find out about it and have Cage brutally beaten and a friend of his, a fellow inmate by the name of Squabbles murdered. Connors asks Dr. Noah Burstein, a scientist who conducts experiments on inmates to save Cage. He complies but Rackham interferes. Rackham’s sabotage is what gives Cage his powers. Cage escapes the prison and adopts the name “Luke Cage”.
