Lieutenant Commander Steele was the young and ambitious subordinate of Commander Ulysses Feral in the animated television series SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. He appeared in the episodes The Wrath of Dark Kat and Enter the Madkat, voiced by Hal Rayle.
In The Wrath of Dark Kat Steele had his eyes on Feral's chair, but he had neither the patience to wait for his turn nor the experience needed for such an important position. During Dark Kat's plot to nuke Megakat City, Feral sneaked aboard the Doomsday Express, but was captured. Rather than try to rescue him, selfish Steele took over as commander, but Feral was saved by the Swat Kats. When Steele arrived, Feral scolded,"Forgot the way, Steele?" It is unknown if Steele was punished or not despite seeming to have a change of heart and come looking for Feral.
He still held the position of Lieutenant Commander as of Enter the Madkat despite this. Katzmer arrived at Enforcer Headquarters to report the robbery, but because Feral was in the middle of running off to save Mayor Manx, the old shopkeeper was instructed to see Lt. Steele. Feral ended up as Madkat's third victim of revenge, and Steele quickly took over as commander yet again, ignoring poor Katzmer and making him wait all day despite nagging from the Enforcer Sgt. He did little if anything to prevent Madkat from taking hostage Deputy Mayor Briggs, and tried to blame Enforcer Headquarters' destruction on the Swat Kats. But after being set free, Feral told Steele to shut up. Apparently Steele's ineptitude eventually got him replaced by Feral's more competent niece, Lieutenant Felina Feral, and he has not been seen since.
[edit] Trivia
In The Wrath of Dark Kat, Steele says of his name, "That's with two E's," implying his name is spelled S-T-E-E-L. However when we see his nameplate in Enter the Madkat it reads S-T-E-E-L-E.
