My Adventures With Superman Shares First Look At Steel
John Henry Irons has been revealed in a new preview for My Adventures With Superman.
My Adventures With Superman hasn't been shy about bringing in quite a few comic book characters into the Adult Swim animated series. So far, Clark Kent fans have seen brand new takes on the likes of Lex Luthor, Amanda Waller, Deathstroke, Live Wire, Parasite, and more. While the first episodes of Season Two have already planted the seeds for the likes of Darkseid, a new preview adds a major Metropolis ally to Superman's roster as John Henry Irons has been featured front and center.
For those who might not know John Henry Irons, the armor-clad superhero first was introduced as a construction worker who was saved by Superman during an accident on the job. Inspired by the Man of Steel, Irons would create a suit of armor that allowed him to pick up where Clark Kent left off following Superman's death in the fight against Doomsday. Since being introduced in the storyline, "Reign of the Supermen", Steel would go on to not only appear in a bevy of animated series, but would also receive his own live-action movie thanks to Shaquille O'Neal's Steel.
My Adventures With Superman: Steel's Debut
While the new preview doesn't give viewers a lot of hints as to how John Henry Irons enters the Adult Swim series, it does give us a look at a very different looking set of armor that the superhero is wearing. In the comics, Steel's armor looks much closer to that of Tony Stark's Iron Man suit, albeit having a grey color scheme and a big hammer at his side. In My Adventures With Superman, the armor appears far larger and looks more like a mech suit rather than the sleeker comic book iteration.
