John Henry Irons/Man of STEEL Appreciation 2022

Here comes an S-Shield .

That, a cape, and maybe a revamped helmet more similar to the DCAMU would be my dream Steel suit

You know it .

No Natasha thread so I figured I’d share this here since it looks cool:

And here’s something for both John and Nat!

I like how prominent he currently is in Superman & Lois... though his current status quo of living in the same place as the married counterpart of his dead wife can't be good for his mental health and recovery.

Have there been story arcs or mini series with a one-on-one team-up with Steel and Cyborg? Just wondering. With the criticisms that often come from the perception of certain characters having similar or repetitive powers or formatting, I'd be curious to see where these two 'black high tech guys' who were created roughly 10 years apart, have had interactions and a friendship (if any... Obviously Steel is more linked to the Superman world, Cyborg initially with the Teen Titans and then eventually 'retrofitted' to the Justice League)..

Not that I know of. I’ve often thought it would be interesting to pair up Irons and Holt as the two black super geniuses who were inspired by other heroes to become heroes themselves. Explore their similarities and differences.

I swear there was some kind of SteelxCyborg moment...maybe it was in a JLAxTitans crossover?

A wild Steel appears (as a headshot) in the promo for the 2022 event! Williamson likes him, he used Steel in his Metal tie ins and his Batman/Superman run, maybe he’ll use him in the event as well? I’d like that.

As mentioned previously, with Superman occupying the Doc Savage role, I liked the idea that we could position the character of Steel – himself a 2nd generation iteration of the Superman idea - in the Tom Strong ‘science hero’ space, with his niece Natasha Irons as a credible Tesla Strong analogue.

Irons as the Tom Strong to Superman’s Doc Savage is a cool insight! Given their affection for Steel I’m kinda bummed Morrison didn’t do more with them. Appreciated how they brought Irons in early during the New 52 reboot.

And here’s something for both John and Nat!

One of these things is not like the others...What the hell is Black Manta on there for? I mean I get that black super villainy is as important as black super heroics...but is that some sort of alternate universe version of Manta?

Think he just gets in for being the most prominent black villain DC has. I think Chuck Brown may have been moving him towards more of an anti-villain in his recent mini however.

I’ve been missing him in Superman and Lois

Honestly tired of the Langs
