Steelman

Mr Steelman was a "mysterious underworld figure" (PROSE: Titan Declares War!) who came to be regarded as the world's public enemy number one. (COMIC: The Return of Mr. Steelman)

Steelman hired a small army to storm Creighton-Ward Manor in order to steal some dangerous Luthvian blueprints orginally stolen by Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward. When this failed, he ordered that the man who destroyed the plans for Lady Penelope, Roger Lyon, be kidnapped and brought to his base in Mount Vesuvius. Intent on getting Roger to reveal what he knew about the plans with the "wonders of science and technology", he commanded that Roger be strapped into a machine. He also destroyed Seabird I, a vessel carrying Lady Penelope and Parker who were following Roger's movements using a homing device, with a torpedo but they survived and were able to confront Steelman before proceedings with Roger could get underway. He immediately captured Penelope and, affording her the luxury of her lipstick before her execution by lava, was caught out when it actually released a toxic gas. In the ensuing fight, Parker was able to knock Steelman into the volcano. As they departed Italy for England, however, Penelope reminded Parker that they never saw a man inside the steel casing identified as Steelman and that it was possible it had been operated by remote control.

On 20 February 2065, TV 21 published a testimony from an annyomous source which indicated that Steelman was behind the kidnapping of one of Lady Penelope's undercover agents after his car was forced off the road. (PROSE: Titan Declares War!) On 6 March, an article stated that Lady Penelope was continuing her pursuit of Steelman. (PROSE: Marineville Waits!)
