=== John Henry Irons version ===
[[File:Steel_(John_Henry_Irons).jpg|frame|[[Drop the Hammer]]...]]
The third Steel was created for ''[[Superman|The Man of Steel]]'' series, which normally starred Superman, during [[The Death of Superman]] storyline. DC had decided to delay bringing Superman back to exploit the success of this event, but that left them without a protagonist for Superman's four titles. Their solution was to create four Superman [[Expy|pretenders]] and make a mystery of which one of them could be the real Superman [[Back From the Dead]]. (It's also possible that DC wanted to make sure they didn't lose the trademark to the name "Steel" from lack of use.)
