Steel Monsoon

NAME:  Steel Monsoon
AGE:  Deceased
GENDER:  Male
OCCUPATION:  Steel mill worker

Steel Monsoon is Iron Tornado's father.

He used to work at a steel mill and he was very happy with it.  However budget cuts and limitations caused the factories to lay off several employees, including Steel.

Over the years, the mill started to struggle more and more as more budget was cut, and equipment broke down, and then the owner of the place just wasn't able to keep it running anymore.  It was closed down.

This upset Steel because there weren't many other steel mills around town that would accept his skills, so he went into a different business.

Times were tough for him since the steel mill shut down, and getting a job was not easy, so he started into thievery, in an attempt to get back at the government.

It was during this time that he met the love of his life who had had a similar experience.  The two got married and had a son.  They taught him that the world is a cruel place and dreams are often shattered by careless acts of the government, and sometimes by complete strangers.  Though Tornado didn't believe it at first, he eventually adapted to the life of a criminal.

It wasn't until minutes before his death at the hands of his own son that Steel realized he had been wrong all along.
