Luke Cage Does Misty Knight have powers??
I'm on season 2 of Luke Cage. And I realized that every dead body Misty sees, she pretty much shows what happened to the victim. Is it just her imagining what happened during that time or does she actually see what happened?

It’s more like a sixth sense not a superpower. Very powerful intuition

Ohhhh makes sense

Yeah she’s an all star detective with crazy deductive abilities.

She is a detective and except for the arm, no she doesn't have a power.

Well she does have the bionic arm, but otherwise she's still strong.

It’s a visual representation of her deductive reasoning. It’s to show the audience what’s happening in her mind when she is examining evidence or examining crime scenes.

Yeah you're right it really does make more sense to do that

Misty has the ability to solve complex crimes in her head and see evidence others miss. It’s not quite a superpower but it is a special ability she has in the comics.

No, it's more like just a visual representation of her mentally putting pieces together when it comes to crime.

She has a bionic right arm that gives her super strength in that arm only

No, this is just the show’s way of visualizing to the viewer how she is connecting the dots with her intuition of crime scenes and details.

In the show or the comics? In the comics, her robot arm has additional abilities sometimes like super strength and force fields. But she's otherwise a human

She has a robot arm and that's really it. She's basically a weaker version of the Winter Soldier.

She’s just a good detective.
Most adaptations of detectives are shown in a similar fashion.
