Mae West and 43 principals, 13 extras, 5 members of the stage orchestra, 12 stagehands, and sundry attachés of her latest and most advanced and profound sociological drama, Pleasure Man, were arrested after the final curtain, October 3, 1928. One cop described it as "the most sinister show ever produced on Broadway." It dealt with the pastimes and preoccupations of female impersonators.

Jennie: "W...what happened to me?" Mariah: "You went a little off the rails. That's all. We got you back, girl." Jennie: "I felt so much...hate. I wanted to destroy everything." Mariah: "Ain't no more hate here--just love. Don't make me bust out into my favorite jam from the Lion King." Power Man and Iron Fist vol. 3 #4 by David Walker, Sanford Greene, Lee Loughridge, and Clayton Cowles

One of the great joys of this series, and something that writer David Walker discussed quite a bit in interviews at the time it was being published, is the way that large numbers of under-used and forgotten characters (including some very goofy D-level villains from the 70s) were brought back into the spotlight and given a bit more depth, personality, and humanity. One character in particular is Mariah "Black Mariah" Dillard, who first appeared in Luke Cage: Hero For Hire #5 and made a mere handful of appearances in that series and in Power Man and Iron Fist volume 1 before largely disappearing from the Marvel Universe. Here, 40 years later, she reappears as a new friend to Heroes for Hire's former office manager Jennie Royce, who in this series is finally released from prison following the events of Power Man and Iron Fist volume 2.

When this new dynamic duo's quest for power goes awry and Jennie gets corrupted by a magical artifact, it's Mariah's love for her that saves the day. This scene encapsulates something this series does so well: melding heart and humor in a celebration of shared humanity and connection. Jennie and Mariah's friendship, while established solely for this series, ends up feeling very special, especially when placed alongside the love between Luke and Danny that anchors the comic.

I genuinely love that White Rabbit's so commited to the bit that she won't use weapons if it breaks her theming, even in a life or death situation. She'd rather throw hands with a supervillain.

(Amazing Spider-man (2022), #39)

Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #5 (Englehart/Tuska, Jan 1973). Cage encounters crime boss Black Mariah, who’s a much more troubling figure in the comics than Alfre Woodard’s take in the TV series.
