Steel

Fresh from the Modern Age, this incarnation of Steel made their debut in 2024's Superman #2, brought to life by a creative team that includes the legendary Dan Jurgens alongside Joshua Williamson, Christian Heiss, and Gleb Melnikov — a serious pedigree for a serious character. Published through Panini Deutschland, Steel steps into a world populated by some of the most iconic figures in the Superman family, sharing adventures with Superman himself, Supergirl, Jon Kent, Conner Kent, and Natasha Irons. It's rarefied company, and the fact that this character appears across both Superman and the ambitious Absolute Power event suggests a meaningful presence in the current DC landscape. Still early in their comics journey with a compact but noteworthy footprint, Steel is one to watch as this Modern Age chapter continues to unfold.
