Black Shadow issue #24

steel is thicker than blood
while visiting his old home, the Steel Man thinks about how this all began. He once worked for Thompson. He was a scientist who was developing Thompson's robotic suit. While he was testing it, a mysterious fire began and the lab burned down, causing the metal suit to melt. And because of the strange radiation in the air the suit was fused with his flesh making it impossible to remove. While thinking about this, a villain called the metal morph, who has the ability to manipulate metal, enters the lab. He makes quick work of the steel man and makes his way to Lodi, vowing to end the life of the black shadow.
