November 1, 2010: Steve Lyons Talks "Steel #1"

Steel #1 Writer Steve Lyons sat down with ComicBookResources.com to talk about his January 2011 one-shot comic "Steel #1", featuring John Henry Irons.

    Your story features Metallo as the supervillain du jour. Metallo is one of Superman's original rogues - although not his current version. What's he up to that puts Metropolis in such peril?

    Oh, he's just having a bad day, really. I wanted to put Steel up against a big Superman villain, in part to show that he can and does play in that arena, but also to show how Steel and Superman do actually differ.

    OK, with those differences in mind, what's the tale of the tape for Steel vs. Metallo? Steel's got Metallo in smarts, right? But what about strength?

    Yes, that's one of those differences. Steel is not nearly as strong as Superman. He's going to need those smarts because, physically, Metallo wipes the floor with him.
