History: Yoshida Asano's parents were survivors of radioactive fallout following World War II. As a result, Asano was born with considerable deformities. Over many years, he had his body augmented with cybernetic systems of his own design, culminating in the adoption of a suit of powerful armor that linked to his body. As Samurai Steel, he attempted to destroy visiting industrialist Tony Stark, but a battle with Stark's bodyguard Iron Man resulted in Steel damaging a nuclear reactor. Rather than be the cause of another nuclear disaster on Japanese soil, Steel flew the reactor into space, where it detonated. Samurai Steel is presumed to have died in the explosion.

Using Samurai Steel in Your Game: Assuming he survived (safe assumption!), Samurai Steel could easily renew his assault on technologically-based American heroes. Any tech heroes in your party could be prey for the new and improved Samurai Steel.
