Fictional character biography

The Golden Age Metallo

The Golden Age Superman battled an unnamed scientist calling himself "Metallo" who wore a powered suit of steel armor in a story titled "Man of Steel Versus Man of Metal" by John Sikela and Jerry Siegel. Years later, Superman encountered the villain a second time in a story with the same title. Metalo (his real name now revealed as George Grant) had a new suit of armor and had also taken a serum to increase his personal strength to superhuman levels. He exposed Superman to a ray that reduced the hero's power significantly and that gave Metalo superior strength in their first battle. Superman engaged in a lengthy regimen of exercise and training to restore his powers and returned to easily defeat Metalo.
