[edit] 52 Trivia

In its molten state Tellurium (Te atomic #52) is corrosive to stainless steel, which is what the current rusting superhero is made of.

[edit] Black Superman

Was Steel ever referred to in the comics as "Black Superman?" I thought with his armor masking his identity his race would also be disguised? If such is the case, I don't believe the alias should remain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.109.248.114 (talk • contribs) }

His family called him that as a joke. No one in the comic book, like the press, called him that because it's kinda rascist. it was added by User:Ace Class Shadow. Although, aliases are other identiteis, not nicknames. Exvicious 21:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Feh. Honestly, aside from "Man of Steel", he had no serious nickname. I could add parenthesis, if you guys like. Then again, I doubt you would. ACS (Wikipedian) 18:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. John Henry Irons

I believe Steel is also a fully acredited physician, a director of a hospital in his monthly series.

He was a hospital director, but when he first started that job he said he was uncomfortable with being referred to as "Dr Irons" in that context because he wasn't a medical doctor. Daibhid C 23:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

He also has a Ph.D, which is another source of the title "Doctor". He was referred to as such in the most recent issue of JLA alongside Amanda Waller who also has a doctoral degree. --Xero (talk) 14:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Psuedocytes

52 mentioned Steel's use of Psuedocytes and there healing properties which he later applied to Vox. My understanding reading through the context is that Irons' own body was composed of the nanontech, and he too benifited from their use. If someone more familiar with Psuedocytes and their comic uses, and abilities garnered, it would be helpful in further understanding some of Steel's ablities. 66.109.248.114
