Seems like 50 took The Fugitive, Luke Cage and the old Lou Ferrigno Hulk TV show and mashed them together.

50 gettin his Master P on 
I hope Marvel doesn't sue him.
They didn't sue DC/Warner for powerless
It would be hard to sue. The idea of a superhuman is not unique. No matter how he is made. No federal judge would side with Marvel in that lawsuit. And I'm sure Starz's lawyers are A-1 and vetted this ahead of time.
Also, I doubt Marvel wants to open Pandora's box by trying to sue. Because what if they have a comic property that could be viewed as similar to another comic brand with a history that pre-dates Marvel's comic. It's not worth the money or the headache to go to court over something like this. Especially since Luke Cage's story/powers isn't highly unique in the world of storytelling.

This is the EXACT premise of Luke Cage
he got sued in the past for Power by Larry Johnson (the author behind a manuscript titled Tribulation of a Ghetto Kid)
Should have just threw some money to Milestone and called it Buck Wild.
I use to talk shyt about 50 and not really like him but as of recently I am finding it VERY difficult for me to do so and I'm actually respecting him more and more.
It is truly inspiring. Especially for me as a black person who wants to get in this industry.
I doubt his main character is inspired from blaxtation flicks like luke cage was.
