Just like the other two aforementioned superheroes, Luke fights heinous crimes in New York City. Luke has also appeared on multiple episodes of Jessica Jones, making him familiar to many Marvel fans.

5. "Vinyl"

There has been a lot of hype behind Vinyl, especially because it was originally slated for a 2015 release. It stars Bobby Cannavale and Olivia Wilde, along with Max Castella, Ray Romano and Juno Temple. Martin Scorsese and Terence Writer, producers of Boardwalk Empire, teams up again to create a show set in the 1970s, where a president of a record company juggles drugs, sex and other consequences of rock ‘n roll.
