So, Iīve seen there isnīt an appreciation of Steel despite being a member of Super Family... this, finally.

It's pretty sad, I honestly can't remember if Steel appeared in any superhero books or more than just a cameo last year.
I REALLY want a Steel/Guy Gardner mini series. These two were bros in college and had some hero team ups, a silly testosterone drenched book would be hilarious.

Oh my god, they WHAT? This is amazing and only makes me like them both more!
Wait, but I thought Guy was a social worker, not a phys ed. teacher.

Anyway, Steel is a really cool hero. He was very popular, very commonly used for a while there... what happened?
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
Yeah, Guy seems to have had several jobs before the Corps. Can't imagine why he didn't stay in any one place too long.
Wasn't he a cop for a bit too?

I really want a Superfamily team book like Tynion’s Tec. Maybe Priest could write it, he might be against being pigeonholed onto solo black books but he doesn’t seem to mind writing teams, and he wrote a Steel series, and Kenan cameo’d in Deathstroke so he’d use him as well. I really want to see Steel and Lana’s relationship continued I think it’s one of the best things that’s happened to both characters.
Happy 2020 to my Second Favorite Other Superman (after Val Zod). May the New Year bring a return to greater relevance for this dynamic and interesting character.

I agree, two forgotten superman related characters into a relationship, and one of them so underrated as Steel? I ship it!
Cheers to a highly underutilized friend of Clark's and awesome hero.

Much love for Steel, one of the greatest heroes to come out of the 90's from any publisher! That's right! I said it, I'll put Steel up against virtually anyone from the Image era explosion and expect my man Dr. Irons to come out on top most of the time.
I still wonder why and how he fell by the wayside. I mean, if this were Marvel he'd have two books and be leading an Avengers squad by now.

Between Kara, Kon, and Kenan there’s enough teenage angst to power all the CW shows for the next decade . Steel’s more grown up and mature attitude would honestly be perfect for him to be the only sane man on a team full of temperamental teenagers who can crack the planet in half on a whim lol.
