In her analysis of the comics, Sharon Packer, Thousand.D., made connections betwixt Cage's origin story and historical events taking place in the time of the comics' publication. Carl Lucas uses his newfound power to crash through the prison house'due south cement barricades, he symbolically breaks through barriers that were one time airtight to him, similar to other black people of his era. Luke Cage'due south story has a distinct connectedness to unethical medical experiments; his comics presumably enhanced awareness of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments that made New York Times headlines in the very same month and year that Luke Muzzle debuted. Dr. Altman published a book on cocky-experimentation ethics, one of many texts discussing ethical breaches in medical experiments at that time, meaning that the Luke Muzzle stories probable picked up on the rhetoric on prison house experiments during that time and tapped into opprobrium almost ethics. Since his comics were released at the same time that the news bankrupt nearly the Tuskegee syphilis experiments on black men in Alabama, an event which caused public outrage and swayed public opinion against non-consenting or coercive human experimentation, information technology can exist inferred that Luke Cage's story influenced some of the aforementioned public opinion.^[124]
