, Hero for Hire, Carl Lucas was a petty thief on the streets of Harlem. When gang leader Willis Stryker framed him as a pusher of heroin, Lucas was arrested and did time at Seagate Prison: a maximum security prison on the ocean. Determined to escape prison and get his revenge on Willis, Lucas volunteered to be the guinea pig for Dr. Noah Burstein’s experimental process in exchange for parole.

In a flashback to Seagate in 2014, Cage is brutally beaten for forming a “prison gang” that is a reading group. In February 2025, Cage continues: “It doesn’t matter the color of your skin or what god you worship. The only distinction that matters in here is the distinction between the pigs and the prisoners. The guards and the inmates. Us and them.”

February 2025: Cage plots a prison break inside Gordium Correctional Facility. Over a game of chess, he tells Rand, “The people, whether inside these walls or outside, have no control over their lives. But we can take control. First of this facility, and then our future. The system cannot stand. The world can no longer afford it. It never could. It cannot be reformed — the system resists reform — but must be transformed in the revolutionary sense. We must take power back for the people.
