History: (Detective Comics #560-564)-When crime and corruption threatened to engulf Star City, Mayor Thomas Bolt was determined to do something about it. He created a mechanical claw and adopted the identity of Steelclaw. While he allowed the city’s heroes Black Canary II and Green Arrow II to handle the more powerful criminals, he struck out at more common street criminals. He forced information from them about underworld activities that he hoped he could then act upon in an official capacity. What he didn’t expect was an encounter with Green Arrow and Black Canary, who were suspicious of his vigilante acts. He narrowly escaped them, but in doing so found himself tied in with a gang of criminals. Other criminal networks felt threatened by Steelclaw no matter what side of the law he was on, and gangland officials had him executed at the earliest opportunity. Star City lost a very dedicated if somewhat misguided mayor.
