Commander Steel (also known as Captain Steel, Citizen Steel, Sergeant Steel, or Steel) is the name of three comic book superheroes appearing in publications by the American publisher DC Comics, all members of the same family. The first Steel appeared in Steel, The Indestructible Man #1 (1978), and was created by Gerry Conway and Don Heck. His stories were set in World War II. The two later characters called Steel are his grandsons. For the unrelated DC character see Steel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Henry "Hank" HeywoodThe first Steel debuted in the series Steel, The Indestructible Man in the 1970s (though it was set in World War II.) Henry "Hank" Heywood was an American soldier who, after being badly hurt, was remade as a cyborg with "indestructible" skin. Still having a human appearance, he developed a secret identity as a superhero wearing a costume based on the American flag. He first appeared in Steel, The Indestructible Man #1 (March, 1978), created by Gerry Conway and Don Heck.The original Steel series only lasted 5 issues, ending in November, 1978. The cancellation was part of the so-called DC Implosion, the abrupt end to over 24 series. The character was not forgotten. He became a regular in the All-Star Squadron, a series devoted to Golden Age heroes. Using the alternative codename Commander Steel. In the "present" day, Hank turned very much alive in 1980s tales of the Justice League of America. He went on to become one of several heroes fighting against Eclipso, in a series spotlighting this villain. He was finally killed in Eclipso #13 (November, 1993). | |

Captain Patriotic: A flag-wearing patriot. He started off as an embodiment of this trope, but became a subversion when his grandson took up the mantle as a member of the JLA. The original Steel is now shown to be quite an ultra-conservative and a bit of a bigot (although he did get better eventually), and his fierce patriotism is played as a negative character trait. | |
