8 Superman Supporting Characters That We Need To See In His Next Movie

3) Steel

Does Metropolis have room for another superhero? While he was originally introduced following the Death of Superman story arc, Steel’s origin story could very easily be changed to make him one of the people who were no doubt inspired by the Man of Steel’s heroic actions when he saved the city. After all, seeing him fighting side by side with his idol against a major new threat would make for very fun viewing.

The New 52 comics portrayed him as being under the employ of General Sam Lane, creating this armoured suit for someone to use to take down Superman. However, he quickly realised the error of his ways and stole it to help the hero fight Brainiac, and that too has a lot of cinematic potential. Handle Steel the right way, and Warner Bros. could even give him a spinoff.
