Blue Steel..ae baby!
I thought the Blue Steel meme had its origins in the old mission where you find the body of the Clockwork King (his human body) - Blue Steel smashed him to a pulp, and of course the Clockwork King went on to get his new "body".
Plus, monsters hide under Blue Steel's bed because they're afraid of HIM.

It's one of the oldest CoH memes, way back from the days of kill skuls and jerk hackers/gone to the Americans. Okay, maybe not quite that long ago, but Issue 7 when Grandville was introduced.
A lot of the high-level missions for Villains have a sort of happy ending, as though even the people who played CoV were good people. This was usually in the form of the villains being THIS close to winning, but then they get word that whatever captive or whatever ended up getting rescued by Blue Steel. Let's see... Happened twice to Westin Phipps: once with Miss Francine and the other with Ido and Hugo... Once to Ghost Widow as she attempted to destroy Numina... Once to Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt when he was plotting against Valkyrie... Once to Vernon von Grun as he was interrogating kidnapped scientists about the Devouring Earth... Can't think of any more at the moment. As a result, he was the go-to guy when something needed to happen, and the Chuck Norris-esque meme developed shortly thereafter. |

I was disappointed when I kicked his *** so much in that mission. I was completely prepared to start crying like a little child when he rocked up.

Blue Steel is the reason why there is a limit on how far the Pillars of Ice and Flame can carry a person.
Blue Steel once punched a Rikti so hard that the mothership crashed landed in what we now call the Rikti War Zone.

Blue Steel spared you the humiliation. Besides, that wasn't the REAL Blue Steel... He sent in an inferior robot that looked like him.

The Well of Furies feeds off a trickle of Blue Steel's energies. If Blue Steel wishes, all super powered individuals would become normal again.

In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...
(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
You have to expect him being special. The area you first see him had the main theme going-the old Title Screen/Level Up theme, didn't it? They 'gave' him it, you have to believe a guy getting that behind him is going to be special.
The Coming Storm that Ouroboros keeps warning us about is actually a battle royale between Blue Steel, Chuck Norris, duct tape and bacon. The sheer magnitude of this battle WILL destroy the multiverse AND the time-space continuum.

I always though Blue Steel was Martial Arts/Shield. He seems like he kind of guy to throw punches and brawl with enemies, not use standard police weaponry, especially against a super villain. Martial Arts, or better yet Street Justice, would've suited him much better.

I'm pretty sure this was the devs' way of killing off the Blue Steel meme.

Formerly confirmed. Now retconned or just ignored. Then again, Maelstrom's supposed to be DP/EM, Lord Recluse is supposed to be an MM (and there's only one version of him that summons minions if I recall), and Ghost Widow is a Dom who thinks Dark Miasma is a control set.
