52 Trivia

[edit]

In its molten state Tellurium (Te atomic #52) is corrosive to stainless steel, which is what the current rusting superhero is made of.

Black Superman

[edit]

Was Steel ever referred to in the comics as "Black Superman?" I thought with his armor masking his identity his race would also be disguised? If such is the case, I don't believe the alias should remain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.109.248.114 (talkcontribs) }

His family called him that as a joke. No one in the comic book, like the press, called him that because it's kinda rascist. it was added by User:Ace Class Shadow. Although, aliases are other identiteis, not nicknames. Exvicious 21:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Feh. Honestly, aside from "Man of Steel", he had no serious nickname. I could add parenthesis, if you guys like. Then again, I doubt you would. ACS (Wikipedian) 18:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the subject of nicknames, the first line of the article begins "Steel (John Henry Irons), also known as the Man of Iron..." Now, I haven't read a whole lot of Steel issues. I know he was originally called the Man of Steel. I don't remember ever seeing him referred to as the Man of Iron. I can't say it's not true, but it seems unlikely. Can anyone verify this?

Dr. John Henry Irons

[edit]

I believe Steel is also a fully acredited physician, a director of a hospital in his monthly series.

He was aan who studied ballistics and worked as a weapons contractor managed to qualify as a hospital administrator....I guess, the same way that, as an issue of Sensational She-Hulk once pointed out, Hank Pym started out as an entomologist and ended up building sentient robots. -- Pennyforth (talk) 14:14, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Psuedocytes

[edit]

52 mentioned Steel's use of Psuedocytes and there healing properties which he later applied to Vox. My understanding reading through the context is that Irons' own body was composed of the nanontech, and he too benifited from their use. If someone more familiar with Psuedocytes and their comic uses, and abilities garnered, it would be helpful in further understanding some of Steel's ablities. 66.109.248.114

His hand was bitten off by General Eiling in JLA. His one hand is artificial and made of the psuedocytes. 129.139.1.68 (talk) 14:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first Steel?

[edit]

Seems to me that there was another Steel -- Hank Haywood III -- who was a member of the Justice League at one point. Maybe a mention here? Or a disambiguation page?
