Luke Cage possesses superhuman strength and stamina, and has extremely dense skin and muscle tissue which render him highly resistant to physical injury. Cage possesses these abilities as a result of his participation in dangerous, and highly controversial, experiments while in prison. The cellular regeneration experiment has fortified the various tissues of Cage's body, granting him a high degree of resistance to injury via skin that is as strong as titanium and can resist high calibre bullets, puncture wounds, corrosives, and extreme temperatures and pressures without sustaining damage (It has been noted that he has skin as "hard as steel", but when he went up against an adversary that was going to shoot him with bullets that "can pierce steel", he relates that the "steel" hardness of his skin is just a saying and its much tougher than that[volume & issue needed]). Despite this, it is still possible to cause him injury. For example, it is possible to injure him with adamantium weapons. However, it has been shown that the supernatural fangs of a vampire are not able to pierce his skin.
A second exposure to said experiments further enhanced his strength and durability to current levels. He is described as being significantly stronger than his first enhancement.
The same experiment which granted him his great strength and durability has also given him a faster than normal recovery time from injury. Cage's recovery time from physical trauma is significantly shorter than that of a normal human. A major drawback, however, to his superhuman durability is that when he does sustain serious injury beyond his ability to heal on his own, medical care is difficult, given doctors' inability to get past his hardened skin, as in the Secret War limited series.
Luke Cage is an exceptional street fighter and was a gifted athlete before receiving superhuman abilities. He has also studied martial arts under Iron Fist's instruction, learning how to couple leverage with his strength in order to increase his combat effectiveness against more powerful opponents.
He owns a jacket that is as durable as his skin, having been exposed to the "Power Man" treatment during Cage's second exposure.

I cannot possibly decide. There's too many awesome ones!
Control over time, gravity, the weather... telekinesis, pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, telepathy, self healing, flight... eyebeams, hand beams, sonic screams, absorbing energy. Oh and creating something out of nothing! Like forming weapons out of the air.
Too many possibilities.

The power of over all sub atomic matter and the full knowladge to do so.
AKA: the power over everything.
If I had to pick something less cheap, I'd pick the power to control gravity/wormholes. It's basically flight, telekineses, super strength, and teleportation all in one.

I really want my own Green Lantern ring. Hard light constructs, the ability to fly and survive in space/underwater, this thing just about does it all.
