Oh okay.I was never really a big comic buff but I was aware of the different companies and I just don't remember Steel...I remember when movie came out though and I was like WTF!
Steel is one of superman's friends I believe. When Doomsday killed Superman, there was like 4 imposters, I believe, that kind of took over Superman's "role" in helping people during the time he was gone. iirc they all were calling themselves Superman. Steel was one of those guys and I think Superboy. Don't remember the others
Interesting backstory...I remember a big deal was made of the comic issue in which Superman was killed.There was news coverage on TV as well as in the papers.It was treated like really big deal and I think that issue flew off the shelves.
I loved it as a kid ... am afraid to watch now though. I've caught some cartoons I thought were the best back then and was like ... "How the hell did I like this crap?"
I know what you mean,pike...I remember the Howard the Duck comic as a kid,skimmed through it a few times,as well as the movie...never bothered to watch it lol....
