[Luke Cage had stayed behind for many reasons, but mostly because he didn't like giving up their shelter when there were plenty of others staying behind. Someone needed to stay behind and be the muscle, because nobody had informed him about actual Superman being around.
But things get a little testy when he finds himself defending the plants from the insect things. He didn't like the plants or even think they were all that tasty, but damned if he was going to let their salads be taken away. He had previously managed to make himself a good club-like weapon by jamming a twisted metal pole into a skull-sized stone. It wasn't elegant, but it made dealing with these oversized bugs a bit like a game of hockey.
As the swarm intensified, it came down to simply crushing them instead. But this was by no means something any of them could keep up indefinitely.]
They just keep coming. We can't keep this up forever!
