Victoria Steele

Victoria Steele is the kind of hero statues are built for—only she’d tell you to tear them down and get back to work. Tall, broad-shouldered, and battle-scarred, Paladin Steel has led the front lines for decades. Her angular chrome armor appears the instant danger sparks, her shields absorbing damage meant for others. Revered by peers and feared by villains, she commands with a quiet, unshakable presence. But beneath the steel, there’s a woman who has seen too many good ones fall—and who still shows up every day so fewer have to.
