According to Marvel's Wiki page, while in prison, a " research scientist Dr. Noah Burstein recruited Luke for experimental cell regeneration based on a variant of the Super-Soldier process he had previously used to empower Warhawk. Burstein immersed Luke in an electrical field conducted by an organic chemical compound.  When he left Lucas unattended, someone readjusted the experiment's controls in the hoping to maim or kill Luke, but instead his treatment was accelerated inducing body-wide enhancements that gave him superhuman strength and durability.

Will  Dr. Noah Burstein and Warhawk.play in the series? watch and find out.

DC Comics Entertainment: Ecstatic Over Success Of Its Rebirth Series

According to DC Comics Entertainment, back in June of 2016 they issued the first comic books in REBIRTH,  which is the relaunching of all  their  ongoing monthly superhero comic books. Rebirth begin at the end of The New 52 in May 2016. The DC Rebirth is intended to boost DC Universe to its former form much like the Flashpoint storyline while incorporating some new elements  of The New 52, including its continuity. 

Rebirth began at the end of The New 52 in May 2016. However, and after Rebirth launched back in June, DC Comics has reported an increase in  sales numbering 12 million copies.

Below is the press release on Rebirth and  DC Universe future plans for the comics.

JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. SUICIDE SQUAD: DC ANNOUNCES FIRST EVENT OF THE REBIRTH ERA

BURBANK, CA – (September 1, 2016) – With a record-setting 12 million copies sold this summer, DC Entertainment has set the comic book world on fire since REBIRTH launched in June. With 21 of the initial 30 monthly and twice-monthly titles going to press multiple times, comic book fans are already asking, “What’s next?”

The answer arrives this December, as DC announces its first major event of Rebirth: the Justice League facing off against the Suicide Squad. This two-month event will pit DC’s two greatest super-teams against each other in a six-issue weekly miniseries, beginning with a special prelude in the pages of SUICIDE SQUAD #8, and with issues of SUICIDE SQUAD (#9 and #10) and JUSTICE LEAGUE (#12 and #13) serving as tie-ins during January.

The prelude issue sets the stage for issues #1 and #2 of JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. SUICIDE SQUAD,
written by Joshua Williamson (THE FLASH, Vertigo’s FROSTBITE) with art by Jason Fabok (JUSTICE LEAGUE: DARKSEID WAR) and Tony S. Daniel (JUSTICE LEAGUE,
DEATHSTROKE). Issues #3 through #6 debut weekly throughout January, along with the special tie-in issues of SUICIDE SQUAD written by Rob Williams and JUSTICE LEAGUE by guest writer Tim Seeley (NIGHTWING, GRAYSON).

The day that Amanda Waller has long dreaded has finally come to pass: the Justice League has discovered the existence of Task Force X! America’s paragons of truth and justice won’t take well to a government-sponsored team of black ops super-villains (with bombs implanted in their heads), but before the Justice League can shut down the Suicide Squad, a bigger problem looms: another deadly strike team is lurking in the shadows, one that could expose dark secrets throughout the DC Universe, with ties to the hidden truths of REBIRTH. Longtime enemies such as Batman and Deadshot, the Flash and Boomerang, and Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn will have to put aside their differences when an evil threat once thought lost to the DC Universe makes their return.

“This story is another building block to REBIRTH. With all of our heroes back on the board, it’s the super-villains turn. And the events within will set the stage for REBIRTH Phase 2 as a surprising team emerges and another piece of the puzzle of the future of the DC Universe, and the past, comes into focus,” said Geoff Johns, President and Chief Creative Officer, DC Entertainment.

“I’m really excited about writing this story,” said Williamson. “This is a great opportunity to remind fans that, outside of Batman, the DC Universe isn’t aware that Task Force X or Amanda Waller even exists. To ultimately bring these villains to light for the entire DC Universe to see should make future Suicide Squad stories that much more interesting. And by the end of the story, both teams may discover that they have more in common than they thought, whether they like it or not.”
