Lt. Steel (Earth-68)

Lieutenant Steel is a major character in Ryder 10. He is a villain with SACT, Special Alien Containment Team, tasked in hunting down all aliens.

Character
Steel is a hardened soldier, following orders to the letter and executing them swiftly. He sees aliens as a threat, and acts to remove it. He is very persistant, as he continues to chase Ryder, even after he's evaded him so many times.

Abilities
Despite being human, Steel has some enhanced strength, speed and has extensive combat training. This most likely comes from his multiple years in service. He has the ability to toss Eatle and Trumbipulor.

History
After Ryder's debut as a shapeshifting alien riding with a motorcycle gang, Steel was ordered to capture him. He tracked his location rather easily, and captured the Road Crew and Ryder's bike as bait to draw him back in. However, he underestimated his ability, and Ryder escaped.

Steel was not dismayed, however, as he locked away the Road Crew in jail, having revealed that to Ryder. A trap set, Steel waited patiently for him. Ryder breaks the Road Crew out and they're on the road before Steel gets notice. He and his soldiers give chase in attack tanks, trying to wipe them out. Ryder is able to disable their weapons, and escape again.

Steel disappears for awhile, but returns when one of his men spots Ryder and Ester in Las Vegas. He initiates a raid on Psyphon's hideout, capturing his entire crew and Ester. Psyphon reveals that Area 51 does exist, and was out in the desert. Psyphon helps Ryder sneak into the base, where Steel had a trap with Ester as bait.

However, before Ryder was detected, an alien named Grey broke into the base, in order to get his horse Epona back. With all forces focused on him, Ryder was able to get to the cells. Steel confronts him and knocks him back, when Psyphon comes and opens all the cells, releasing 774 prisoners. Steel and his forces are overwhelmed, as the prisoners escape.

He is confronted by his boss afterwards, Colonel Rozum, who is disappointed with Steel's performance. Along with learning Ryder's identity, Steel is paired with Viktor, the last prisoner who agreed to help re-capture the aliens. The two are seen later catching Ester's family of Kraaho.
