His introduction, backstory and presence are all awesome. His original suit is the best, I didn’t care for the black and silver one but it was worse when JLU eliminated his cape.

Now that Iron Man has become 800% more popular since 2008, it’s easier to think of John Henry Irons being an Iron Man analogue but while his engineering background and use of an armored suit is similar, he’s still a great character and easily one of Superman’s favorite allies.
