Superman accepted Steel as a comrade. His real name is John Henry Irons and he wields a sledgehammer—this is a reference to the mythical railroad worker John Henry. He has a niece named Natasha Irons who is also a superhero in a similar mechanized suit of armor.

Shaquille O’Neal Played The Role In The 1997 Film Superman.

First appearing in The Adventures of Superman #500 (June 1993), he is the second character known as Steel and was created by Louise Simonson and artist Jon Bogdanove.

Steel was spun off into a solo series,written by co-creator Louise Simonson and later by Christopher Priest, from 1994–1998.
