Luke Cage, Hero for Hire. Marvel's first blaxploitation hero, Luke Cage gained his powers as a guinea pig in an experiment performed on prison inmates. Gaining super-strength and bulletproof skin, Luke busted out and began a long career of mopping up Harlem's seedy underground. As the name Hero for Hire suggests, he was different than other Marvel superheroes, as he often asked for payment for his services. Hey, a sucka's gotta eat!

Yeah, at some point he changed his name to Power Man and then he shared his title with Iron Fist. They've been buddies ever since.
