Sorry, he only gets to be in combat if he's gone rogue and the heroes get to beat him up too. I have a rather unflattering name for him involving ramrods and bottoms.

Blue Steel is responsible for the 'birth' of the villainous Clockwork King. After tracking down a suspect involved in a police homicide committed by robots controlled via telekinesis, Blue Steel beat the man nearly to death and left him for dead. This man's body was never recovered, and was beaten beyond repair. However, the Clockwork King's brain survived the encounter, and he used his powerful telekinetic powers to build himself a clockwork body, leading to the rise of the Clockwork King.

I've never liked this guy since I read that. In a game that celebrates heroes he seems anything but heroic, more like a fascist bully-boy thug and personally I don't think he has any right to be blue side. Even some of the darker mainstream comicbook heroes don't go that far when apprehending suspects.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE an opportunity for heroes to take him down and boot him out of Hero Corps - he's got no place being there IMO

He's actually a PPD officer, not part of Hero Corps, but your point makes even more sense in that context.
Mind you both BAB and Manticore have been known to use, um, more direct methods in their hunting of criminals, and does anyone else get the feeling that Ms Liberty is far from libertarian in her attitude to law enforcement?

Hell no - it particularly grates given the back story in Frostfire's bio:
[ QUOTE ]
Calhoun [= Frostfire's civvie name] was first arrested for a disastrously failed attempt at super-powered heroism. At age 17, he witnessed an attempted armed robbery at a convenience store. Although he had neither training nor experience, he intervened, freezing both the robber and store clerk in blocks of ice. He then attempted to melt the clerk free, but the stress caused his powers to spasm uncontrollably. His fire powers ignited the building, and the ensuing inferno destroyed the building. Although Calhoun escaped unharmed, several people were killed in the blaze, including the clerk and the robber. .
Calhoun surrendered himself to the authorities. Although the District Attorneys Office offered a deal for 5 years of jail time acknowledging his pure motives, Calhoun refused, believing wrongly that the jury would find him innocent. He was stunned by his conviction. Still, the judge was extremely lenient in his instructions, and a relatively light sentence was handed down as Calhouns heart was judged to be in the right place.
[/ QUOTE ]
Frostfire, a civilian, tries to help and gets given a jail term when things go wrong.
Blue Steel, a law enforcements officer, gets no documented punishment and to keep his job when he knowingly beats a suspect to death (or what would have been death if the suspect hadn't turned out to have unique superpowers).

Not this blue steal then?
I often confuse the two
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Here's the thing a lot of you guys forget: the Clockwork King had killed and brutalised a number of people with his creations prior to that incident. Furthermore, anyone who uses a weapon set, a variation on fire, etc, has no right to complain about the guy with the shield.

I iz Kat Scrapper. I don't have an issue with excessive force, but it is, technically, 'unheroic' to beat some snot-nosed kid to a pulp because he killed a cop. Blue Steel should have known better, but he lost it and there were no repercussions.

I heards the clockwork king said "I felt like, "This guy's really hurting me." And it hurt."
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
With the introduction of the forthcoming Shields powerset, does that mean that we'll finally get the chance to knock seven shades of hell out of the man responsible for the Clockwork King?
Are you interested in seeing Blue Steel in combat? (Have I missed a rare mission where he actually is in combat?)
And if you do face him, what would you say to him before you knock him senseless (or protect him, if you're on that side of the fence?)
