Natasha Irons

Natasha Irons is a superhero in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Louise Simonson and Chris Bastista, first appearing in Steel (vol. 2) #1 (February 1994). Since the character's creation, Natasha has since become a reoccurring supporting character of both Superman and the original version of Steel within their respective comic book series, notably sharing the codename Steel after the original becomes injured.

The character is portrayed as an engineering and computer genius and the niece of John, a fellow genius within the Irons family. Although both mainstream continuities feature different backgrounds, both includes her as the daughter of Clay Irons (the brother of John and criminal known as Crash) and becomes close to her uncle, often working as his assistant for Steelworks, a future technology company based in Metropolis. In current mainstream continuity, she serves as a public superhero and member of the Superman Family and several other superheroes groups such as the Titans and the Justice League. She is also one of the chief love interest of sorceress and fellow superhero, Traci 13. Prior to The New 52 reboot, the character gained super-powers in the 2006 limited series 52 from Lex Luthor's Everyman Project for a time. She originally used the codename Starlight but following a change to her powers, she instead assumed the name Vaperlock.

The character has made several appearance in media, including Superman: The Animated Series where she is voiced by Cree Summer and is portrayed by Tayler Buck in the television series Superman & Lois, where she is renamed Natalie Lane Irons and is made the daughter of John.
