scans_dailyContinuing my series of posts about this storyline:
Remember this happens during the Legends crossover, and Darkseid was turning public opinion against the heroes:
Steel realizes that one of the cops is an android created by Professor Ivo, and drags him away:
But J'onn arrives too late to save Steel.
So he takes him home, where he dies.

Ah yes, Legends, when the DCU took on the paranoid properties of the MU for a while, and was a wretched place because of it.
Legends was awfully written. But I think the series was actually trying to cash in on the success of Watchmen, which came out around the same time, with the whole people vs. superheroes.
