YMMV / Luke Cage Noir

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Randall Banticoff is the apparent grieving widower of his wealthy wife Daisy, but in truth is a selfish scumbag who holds a prejudice against his own race. A light-skinned Black man who has reinvented himself to pretend to be White so as to infiltrate the upper echelons of socialites, Banticoff seduced and married Daisy for her fortune, only to then viciously strangle her to death when she became pregnant, having the fetus carved out of her to ensure his true heritage is never discovered. Using Daisy's wealth to finance his own criminal enterprise that he runs via his musclemen Willis Stryker and Tombstone, Banticoff oversees murder and prostitution on the regular, and—in his quest to frame Luke Cage for Daisy's slaying—lets his lover be tortured and mutilated and his young son be taken hostage. When caught, Banticoff shows no remorse for his crimes, instead sneering racial slurs at Cage and his entire race as he is killed, but not before striking a lethal blow on Cage himself.
