Structures aren't defined by the weather that hits them... They're defined by the integrity of the internal frame. Following a catastrophic explosion over the Atlantic, the radicalized Amazon insurgent Aresia crawls ashore at the Metropolis docks. Stripped of her divine invulnerability and bleeding out inside a decommissioned freighter, she is prepared to die a monument to her failed global crusade against the world of men. Instead, she is found by John Henry Irons-the brilliant engineer known to the world as Steel. A former weapons designer living in the shadow of his own grim penance, John refuses to play the flamboyant hero. He doesn't offer a patronizing save or a moralizing monologue; he simply offers her medical supplies, transparent neutrality, and an unguarded door.
