Luke Cage: Hernan Alvarez Sunglasses

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Shades (Hernan Alvarez) was a member of the Rivals gang and a criminal and featured heavily in the Luke Cage Netflix Series (2016). He served time in Seagate Penitentiary where he worked for Albert Rackham and arranged illegal fights. Upon release, Diamondback recruited him to monitor Cottonmouth’s criminal activities in Harlem, putting him in opposition with Luke Cage. With Diamondback’s arrival to kill Cage, Shades stayed loyal, but eventually questioned Diamondback’s actions, causing him to become a target. To save himself, Shades aligned with Mariah Dillard and betrayed Diamondback.
