Joe Magarac was the ultimate steelworker: a steel giant born in an iron mine who sacrificed everything for the mill.

Digital painting of a busty woman made of shiny metal and wearing a PVC bustier, pants, and high-heeled boots, fingerless gloves, and carrying a large grenade launcher in one hand. There's a OHotMU style bio attached. Again, there's too much text for this space, but to summarize: She's Stainless Steel Pam (Pamela Magarac), the granddaughter of Pittsburgh folk hero Joe Magarac. She inherited her grandfather's steel skin and superhuman strength, which made her feel like an outcast. She turned to petty crime before establishing herself as a mercenary in Detroit. She eventually formed a relationship with the martial arts superhero Longquan Lee, worked with and against various other superheroes, and eventually retired from the mercenary life to open a nightclub.
