Luke Cage first appeared in Marvel’s pages in 1972, at the height of the Blaxploitation craze. He was the first African American superhero to headline his own Marvel comic, initially titled Luke Cage, Hero for Hire but soon changed to the technically-accurate-yet-groan-inducing Luke Cage, Power Man, and he’s now the first black Marvel hero to headline his own screen entertainment since the Blade franchise.

blaxploitation
Definition from
Wiki:
La blaxploitation — ou blacksploitation — est un courant culturel et social propre au cinéma américain des années 1970 qui a revalorisé l'image des Afro-Américains en les présentant dans des rôles dignes et de premier plan et non plus seulement dans des rôles secondaires et de faire-valoir. Le mot est la contraction, sous forme de mot-valise, des mots « black » (qui signifie noir) et « exploitation ». On parle parfois de blaxplotation, autre contraction issue de « black » et de « plot » (le sujet d'un film).
Example sentences:
Issu des mots “black” et “exploitation”, Blaxploitation désigne un genre de films à vocation commerciale et destiné à un public noir. Le terme apparaît vers 1971 avec Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song de Melvin Van Peebles. La durée de vie de la Blaxploitation est courte, puisque le courant s’essouffle vers 1976, mais sa vigueur est extraordinaire. Pour comprendre le phénomène, il faut saisir le contexte social et idéologique afro-américain du début de la décennie, mais aussi la structure du marché cinématographique. (Yard Media)
