HistoryCarl "Carlie" Donewicz was a young boy growing up in the Kiefer Square section of Astro City when he started to run with gangs. You had to in that part of town, or you ended up in a world of hurt. Carl wanted out, and studied as best he could in order to make it out, but it didn't work out as he planned. He had minor gang association, and when it came to learning, he struggled. After a fight in which he killed a boy, Carl went a little crazy, committing an assortment of violent crimes. At this point, he heard about Dr. Ganss, who could turn people into superhuman beings, and somehow, managed to arrange an appointment to discuss potential opportunities. After being told he was acceptable, Carl was placed in a tank, and emerged as the "Steel-Jacketed Man." Trying to pay back Ganss (and Donnelly Ferguson, who had gotten him the appointment in the first place), Carl entered into the world of the "black masks" (a.k.a. "super villains"). Although he had some moderate success, Carl ended up in and out of prison, and spent a over twenty years in the Biro Island Correctional Facility. He was released in the late 1990s and vowed to "go straight" and never return. This proved to be difficult due to his well-known reputation and distinctive likeness. PowersSteeljack is super-strong. His DNA has been chemically altered, making his body tissues incredibly resilient, behaving in a manner similar to high grade metallic steel. Even by super-being standards, he is highly durable. Like regular human skin, the outer layers of his steel skin decays and dies over time to be replace by new metallic cells. It does heal when injured, but it is showing sign of rusting as he ages.
