Steel

John Henry Irons, a talented weapons designer, creates advanced laser firearms and protective gear for the U.S. military. His innovative designs are lauded, and he is considered a leading expert in his field.

During a test of Irons' laser gun, a soldier named Nathaniel Burke pushes the equipment to its limits. The weapon misfires catastrophically, resulting in structural damage and serious injury to Irons' friend Susan 'Sparky' Sparks.

In the aftermath of the incident, court proceedings take place regarding the event. Irons courageously testifies against Burke, holding him accountable for the misfire, which leads to Burke's dismissal from the military.

Shaken by the trauma of the incident and its repercussions, Irons decides to resign from his position. His resignation marks a pivotal moment, as he grapples with the moral implications of his designs.

Despite his dismissal, Nathaniel Burke concocts a plan to auction Irons' weaponry to local gangs. He partners with a video arcade manager, implementing his sales strategy and fueling criminal activities.

Irons witnesses a bank heist executed by criminals equipped with Burke's modified weapons. He attempts to intervene, but his efforts are in vain as the criminals refuse to provide any information.

In pursuit of justice and to protect the innocent, Irons visits Sparky at the veterans' hospital. He shares his vision of creating a counterforce against the burgeoning criminal underworld.

With the guidance of Uncle Joe, Irons begins constructing a suit of armor and an arsenal of weaponry. This marks the birth of his vigilante alter ego, 'Steel', as he prepares to combat crime.

As Steel, Irons embarks on his mission to thwart crime in the city. However, he quickly finds himself at odds with law enforcement, struggling to balance his vigilantism with the law.

During a robbery at a bank, Irons engages the gang but is overwhelmed by their superior firepower. After this harrowing encounter, he retreats to seek refuge at his grandmother’s home.

Burke is busy organizing an online auction for his modified weapons, aiming to sell to the highest bidder. This move poses a significant threat as criminals worldwide get access to dangerous technology.

After Irons' release from jail, he discovers that Sparky has been kidnapped by Burke's men. This alarming news drives him further into action as he embraces his Steel persona.

Irons ventures into Burke's lair to rescue Sparky. However, he is captured during the process, showcasing the risks involved in taking a stand against Burke's operation.

While held captive, Steel devises a clever plan to trick Burke. This cunning escape not only aids in freeing Sparky but also sets in motion the dismantling of Burke's illicit business.

In a climactic showdown, Burke attempts to kill Steel but inadvertently ends his own life due to his treachery. This moment serves as a potent reminder of the consequences of his evil deeds.
