Man of Steel
Kryptonian hero's title
Man of Steel is a nickname for Superman, the comic book superhero known for his invulnerability and extraordinary strength.
The phrase evokes someone who is physically powerful, emotionally resilient, or seemingly indestructible.
Beyond the Superman context, calling someone a man of steel suggests they possess exceptional fortitude or toughness: He was a man of steel through the entire crisis.
The 2013 film *Man of Steel* helped cement the phrase as synonymous with the character.
