  1. Well, not really. His origin WAs that of Iron Man ie weapon manufacturer that decided to redeem himself, BUT 1)Iron Man wasn't stopping weapons production and redeeming himself before movies, even in animated series he was still producing weapons for government. In comics Armor Wars was his turning point and that happened after Steel; 2)he doesn't have any of Thor's powers. Just Iron Man's ones and even then he's cut short by budget. No army of [Insert]Busters, no army of support drones, no orbital weapons, no nanotech that basically makes one a Green Lantern. NANOMACHINES, SON! 3)Steel was given a short end of the stick because Luthor was redesigned in late 80's to basically be DC's Iron Man. Before that he was a criminal mastermind akin to Fisk, after redesign he became smartest person in DC, richest corporativists on Earth and became a more neutral in terms of his alignment. IE he still will do anything to get what he wants, but now he's also a human supremacist that would act as a hero against alien threats. Problem is in said supremacist part and not all aliens being evil:D So I'd say 50/50

  2.  @rodney2x48  fan theory is that Krypton self isolated because they have witnessed effects of yellow and blue sunlight on newest generations of kryptonians and some even speculate that Earth was an abandonned kryptonian colony ie why humans and kryptonians can have children. It's all and good being a galaxy spanning militarist xenophobe empire until your own rioting citizens on some far away colony get superpowers strong enough not only to resist arrest, but to duke it out with your battleships.... well, maybe not battleships, but with kryptonian empire equivalent of a tank for sure. And that is what DC lacks, background galaxy where events happen. Earth is the only hub for all storylines, empires of Mars, Thanagar, Tamaran, Apocalips and New Genesis are mostly ignored. There is no mention of continuos Cold Was between the latter two that forces Darkside to work through agents and provocation, there isn't actual diplomacy between thanagarians and tamaranians, there is no explanation about the state of Mars. Universe of DC lacks context so people are rarely invested into storylines.

  3.  @michaelwebb3553  Eradicator is basically "antropomorphic personification" of Fortress of Solitude. Which was an exploration vessel! Now imagine what kryptonian military tech can do;) But yes, it's a "hologram" that uses equipment of Fortress to simulate its own abilities. Manipulation of energy, gravity, energy-mass transfer and basically everything we had seen Fortress do. Eradicator is basically a targeting drone for Fortress. He finds the target and sends a power request, Fortress manifests that power.

  4.  @metalore  Brainiac has technology of many different races, has higher processing power and more power output, he can also "split" with no side effects. More importantly he works for himself while Eradicator basically is Fortress AI with limited freedom. So he's more dangerous. But still a good comparison. P.S.: Probably Eradicator served as basis for Superbots made by Kal years later.

  5.  @omartameem1262  yes, he did. Superboy wasn't charged up for 30+ years through:\

  6.  @rodney2x48  there is no Earth in Star Wars, but somehow people care. Make Starfire grab Nightwing and go live to some tamaranean colony world. There are martians, there are lantern corps. Use characters to flesh out the new settings during storylines. Well, sadly Krypton series seems to have killed those theories.
