==Synopsis==
Police officer Liam Caldwell loses his arm while rescuing a child, cut off by falling debris. Initially believing his career is over, he is eventually offered by the company Z-Tech to become the first in what they hope to become a line of augmented officers, outfitting him with a metallic arm and a high-tech helmet. Now, Liam battles crime through the streets of New York as Steelhand.
==Characters==
===Main ===
*Liam Caldwell/Steelhand - a serious-minded police officer with a strong moral code. Losing his arm in a rescue mission gone wrong, he had it replaced with a robotic one by the company Z-Tech. He fights with a combination of his strength amplified, laser-shooting robotic arm and his helmet which has a built-in computer.
===Supporting=== 
*Mason Zanetti - Z-Tech's cocky CEO and a tech genius who is known for his fast-talking and charismatic nature. Throughout the series, he's presented as being mainly interested in marketing and money, but he consistently proves that he deep down genuinely does want to help people.
*Emma Caldwell - Liam's recent wife who is a nurse as she is initially unaware of her husband being Steelhand as soon she figures out when he plops down on her floor after an attack by Goldfist, as their love begins to blossom.
*Chief Carl Wagner - the chief of police and Liam's boss who is the first person he confesses his identity to. Wagner has been hardened through years of experience and has a very low tolerance for mistakes. Beneath this, though, is a heart which strives for justice above everything else.
*Reagan Sulley - an eccentric scientist working at Z-Tech known for her up-beat personality. She is the inventor of most of the technology that went into the creation of Steelhand's arm and he often comes to her for check-ups and advice.
*Kenny Lone/Mockingbird - a vigilante who has frequent encounters with Steelhand. The two have an odd relationship, as Steelhand believes in the law so much he views Mockingbird as a criminal for vigilantism but he understands he genuinely wants to help. Mockingbird's main ability is his power to copy anything he's seen or heard first try, including fighting styles and voices.
*Zachary "Zach" Bellmont - an egotistical reporter working for the Centennial Gazette as he learns of Steelhand and wants to get an interview with him as he is either too early or too late to the scene.
===Antagonists ===
* Cadaver Maker - one of New York's biggest crime bosses most well-known for his skull mask and his ability to instantly age anything he touches, including things like plants and metals. Possessing very low empathy and a lot of money and influence, he is determined to take over New York's criminal underworld and make the entire city bow to him.
*James Pritchard/The Artist - a self-described gentleman criminal who prides himself on being able to expertly design complex schemes that serve as tributes to both himself and those he considers worthy opponents. He is also the supposed oldest criminal in the world, coming in at age 306.
*Sir Oscar Charles Winchester - a big game hunter who prides himself on the fact he was able to hunt down and kill every dangerous animal in the world. Bored and unfulfilled, he chooses to put his talents into tracking and hunting superheroes, which he considers to be the only challenge he has left.
**Mister Morey - Winchester's assistant and personal bodyguard. Initially claimed to be a simple brute Winchester found on his journies, Morey is, in reality, a genetically modified human with superhuman strength and durability.
*Pete Moroney/Goldfist - a former NYPD officer who lost both of his hands while fighting a criminal. Initially brought on as part of Z-Tech's augmented officers project, it quickly became clear Moroney was more unstable than initially presented and was more than happy to abuse his power by using threats and intimidation or issue lethal force. Since then, he has become a brutal vigilante with a high body count.
*Vanessa Rademaker - the founder and CEO of Omnicorp, Z-Tech's biggest rival. She is a weapons manufacturer as well as a thief who puts on a face of false confidence to hide her evergrowing jealousy of Z-Tech and Mason, whose technology she frequently steals and passes as her own. She is also a face in the criminal underworld, supplying various criminals with their weapons and tech.
*Johan Schneider/Nightmare Man - a chemist most well known for his gas mask which, ironically, is able to emit a gas that stimulates the parts of the brain that control fear, causing victims to suffer anxiety attacks and possibly even have fear-induced heart attacks. He uses both these abilities and a handful of others in his crimes, most of which involve fear in some way.
*Captain Jasper Witwicki/Nemo - the pilot of a gigantic undersea submarine designed for war and conquest. A combination of intense isolation and already existing mental disorders have driven him completely mad, believing that all creatures must return to the sea and all who don't should be punished violently.
*Jerome Manheim/Mister Mayhem - a mentally ill mob enforcer who believes that chaos is the primordial form of life, formerly working for the mob boss known as Mister Hands as he ends up murdering Mister Hands and taking over his gang, enjoying chaos and grows fascinated by Steelhand, not wanting to kill him but use him to bring forth even more chaos.
*Richard O'Donovan/Freelancer - a soldier turned mercenary and thief-for-hire who wields a variety of weapons, most notably a pair of twin katanas. He's self-admitted as being out for nothing but money and will willingly betray anyone or switch sides depending on who pays him the most.
*The Syndicate of Killers - a cult and criminal cartel who worship the very idea of taking another's life.
**Lord Yama - the mysterious head of the syndicate who named himself after the Hindu god of death. He is an old Indian man with a deranged philosophy that states one can't appreciate life until they've taken the life of another. He wields a talwar as his main weapon and, via mystic hand movements, is able to breathe fire.
*Katrina Ogliev/Iron - a former KGB agent who was a member of an experiment known as the "New Man Project" as the result ends up turning her into pure iron as she escapes to New York to become a mercenary, knowing that people would pay well for her.
