However, Cage had no idea Stryker was behind it or that he was his half-brother.Luke Cage: 1.03: Who's Gonna Take the Weight Shades showed Cottonmouth a bullet that could penetrate Cage's unbreakable skin, but worried that Cottonmouth wasn't ready for it because of his mistakes with Cage's raiding.

==Attack==
Claire Temple and Luke Cage were walking in the park talking about Cage's past. Diamondback set up a sniper a ways away and shot a Judas Bullet at Cage. The bullet easily penetrated his skin and he fell to the ground much to the shock of Temple. Temple told Cage to breathe as he got carted off in an ambulance. Stryker saw the ambulance leave, reloaded his weapon, and trailed the ambulance. Cage writhed in pain in the ambulance and reminded Temple that he was not going to go to a hospital. Diamondback then shot at the ambulance causing it to tip over. Diamondback chanted an old phrase from their high school and called him "Carl". He then told him to keep running.Luke Cage: 1.08: Blowin' Up the Spot
==Aftermath==
Claire Temple brought Luke Cage to a place to help him. While putting the scalpel in to get the bullet, she noticed that his soft tissue was also hard like his skin and it formed around the bullet. Cage tried to get the bullet, but the scalpel broke due to the skin. She also used an ultrasound to figure out that the bullet exploded in his skin. Misty Knight later arrived to arrest Cage for the murder of Cottonmouth. Diamondback found Cage and they engaged in a fight, until Diamondback kidnapped Knight and took her outside. He then put the gun to her head and hit her, knocking her out.
