'''Steelheart''' is a [[Epic#High Epics|High Epic]] of considerable power that ruled over [[Newcago]].
==History==
Steelheart came to Chicago shortly the appearance of the [[Epics]]. Little is known of his prior activities. He annexed the city and much of the surrounding territory, declaring himself emperor and all those within his domain his subjects. He offers other epics the choice of serving him or dying. One of his initial acts is The Great Transfersion, in which he transforms most of Newcago, including buildings, part of Lake Michigan, and several miles underground to solid steel.
Initially, he claims to be building an ideal city with a vast network of understreets, but he soon abandons this pretense and rules his subjects harshly and erratically. He enlists three epics, [[Nightwielder]], [[Conflux]] and [[Firefight]] as his inner circle, builds a high-tech [[Enforcement]] division, and allows intelligent, wealthy or attractive humans to live above with the epics, serving as functionaries and entertainers. Epics within his domain may kill or terrorize humans for any reason or no reason.
==Abilities==
;Invulnerability: Steelheart is impervious to harm from all known sources, including bullets, edged weapons, electricity and fire.
;Super Strength: Inhumanly broad and tall, Steelheart is strong enough to crush bones and throw people with ease.
;Wind Manipulation: Control of the wind grants Steelheart the ability to fly and pick up objects using the air around him.
;Steel Transfersion: When angry, Steelheart spontaneously transforms non-living matter around him to solid steel, spreading out from him in a sphere. Steel and iron have the ability to "insulate" against the transfersion, but other metals are transformed to steel. As this ability is tied to his emotions, he sometimes uses it without intent.
;Energy Beams: Steelheart can project energy beams from his hands that can vaporize people and melt steel with ease.
;Eidetic Memory: Steelheart claims to remember everything perfectly, but this is not broadly established and may be boasting.
==Weakness==
Steelheart can only be injured by those who feel no fear of him.
