Heres a problem with certain comic book characters. Though they may be cool, their origins are dependent on the presence of a more well-known, and usually way cooler, character. Thus is the problem with Steel. As DCs closes equivalent to Iron Man, Steels history has been closely rooted in him being an ally of Supermans, regardless of whether you look at his first origin or the New 52s. So, what happens when you leave Superman out of a Steel move? Well, youre left with a movie with resemblance to the character in name only. Released during the late 90s, this was Shaquille ONeals third starring role after sports film Blue Chips and genie-flick Kazaam. Playing Steels alter-ego weapons designer John Henry Irons, he still builds a suit of armor, but in response to his weapon being used to commit crimes. So, he fights fire with fire. The villain in the film is s soldier who steals Irons weapons to prove how useful they are, and ironically is killed a laser he shoots at Steel reflects off the armor and hits him. Formulaic at every turn, this movie proves that when a character is portrayed properly on film, itll come back to bite you on the ass...or in this case, get hit by a metaphorical laser.
