December 14, 2010: Steve Lyons on Doomsday's Return in "Steel #1"

Steel vs Doomsday Newsarama.com caught up with writer Steve Lyons to ask him about being selected to write "Steel #1" and just what Doomsday's return to the DCU means for John Henry Irons. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Nrama: How will Doomsday's return and Steel's role tie into what happened in Reign of the Supermen?

    Lyons: I wrote the script for Steel #1 with a copy of Reign of the Supermen on my desk. I was very aware of Doomsday's role in Steel's origin story, and I wanted to use that. As for why Doomsday is coming after Steel now... well, actually, even I don't know the full answer to that! I'm sure everything will become clear...

    Nrama: Steel has been through a lot over the years. What's his status now? And what's his role in the DCU as we pick up this story?

    Lyons: In many ways, Steel is back where he started. No alien armor. No superpowers. He still lives in Metropolis, and runs the Iron Works foundry. His niece, Natasha, is still an important part of his life. Our aim with this special - and the arrival of Doomsday hasn't changed this - was never so much to launch Steel in a new direction, but rather to nail the basics and remind people what's so cool about the character.
