Apart from its high-flying and colorfully costumed heroes, the DC Universe has always been home to dark and ominous figures whose names are heard more frequently in hushed tones than in boastful battle cries. While Amanda Waller has certainly become DC’s prototypical shadowy government agent, she is far from the first to take on that role. In fact, her earliest predecessor was nothing like her at the start, although the Sargent Steel of today is absolutely the kind of villain that Wonder Woman, Waller, and the rest of the world need to worry about.After an Amazon in the United States turns a dive bar into a slaughterhouse for being accosted and groped by a male patron, the United States government is swift in enacting the so-called “Amazon Safety Act.” This law not only shuttered the Amazonian Embassy and banned any Amazons of Themyscira from entering the country, it immediately criminalized any Amazons already on United States soil. As seen in the pages of Wonder Woman #1 (by Tom King, Daniel Sampere, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowles), to ensure that this law was enforced in the most extreme manners possible, an exceptionally ruthless hand was needed to guide it. Unfortunately for the Amazons, there is no hand more cold and unfeeling than that of Sarge Steel.Sergeant, or Sarge Steel, first appeared all the way back in 1964’s “File 101: The Case of the Pearls of Death” (by Joe Gill and Dick Giordano, from the pages of Sarge Steel #1). A Chartlon Comics production, Steel wouldn’t make his way into the DC Universe until after he had established himself as a private investigator with an exceptionally heavy steel hand. Throughout his early adventures, Steel took on a variety of organized criminals and masked menaces. His career as a PI was always tinged with an air of uncertainty, however, which made him a prime pick for the C.I.A.’s next great agent.RELATED: Tom King’s Wonder Woman will Once Again Don the ’60s All-White CostumeRELATED: Tom King’s Wonder Woman is Inspired by George Perez
