Heroines of WOCtober: Natasha Irons
Niece of John henry Irons, better known as superhero Steel, Natasha has gotten through multiple revisions in her life, often gaining powers, having plots dealing with her criminal father Crash, replacing John as Steel or working alongside him and sharing the codename. In DC Rebirth she came back after an absence from new 52 and this time as openly LGBTQ after years of hints she might be, in relationship with sorceress Traci 13...which they then promptly broke up to send characters to different books, go figure.
