Power Man #27 (1975): 1st Sweet Christmas

Cage fights a serum-enhanced professional wrestler.  The story is fairly benign, but according to one of my favorite comic news sites, this is the first time Luke Cage said, “Sweet Christmas!”

I wonder how Bill Mantlo came up with that?

This is a D-level issue (the villain is a wrestler), but it’s elevated because Luke coins his catchphrase.
