The character of John Henry Irons — the hero known as Steel in the DC Universe — has been rarely present in the last decade or so. He has made brief appearances in both the New 52 and Rebirth eras, but has not had his own ongoing series since the mid-’90s, and has not been a consistent member of the Justice League since before DC’s 2011 relaunch. During a recent appearance on The Film Rescue Podcast, the character’s co-creator Jon Bogdanove, who drew Superman: The Man of Steel in the ’90s and provided covers for much of the Steel ongoing series of the ’90s, said that he would like to see the character show up more.
