Remember when the samples of Steel's blood blew up? My bet is Luthor's whole team is killed by the deal. Of course that's recycling an idea from the 90s JLA, but hey, that wasn't New Earth.

the guy at that blog you linked up is pretty harsh on the art continuity but I never notice any of the quibbles he writes about. He seems to focus on facial hair a lot. And that's all I'll say about that.

I wass going to ask if Steel has shown up in any of the OYL books, but I guess at this point none of the major 52 characters have, huh?
