Biography[]
Dating Natalie[]
Matteo met Natalie Lane Irons at a party in Metropolis,[2] and they eventually began dating.[3]
Discovering the truth[]
Matteo took Natalie to meet his parents for dinner in Hobbs Bay. However, Matteo and Nat were taken away by Bruno's men when Nat's father, John Henry Irons, showed up. Eventually, Matteo managed to kill the henchman escorting them and witnessed John in his armor and Peia being taken away by Superman. Later that day, Matteo had an argument with his father due to him keeping his criminal life a secret.[4]
Aiding his father[]
Matteo later went to visit Natalie in Smallville to tell her that he didn't know who his father really was. Back at Intergang's hideout, Bruno showed Matteo Bizarro's body, which he planned to use to create a cure for Peia. Matteo then agreed to help his father finish the cure to save his mother.[5] After it was complete, Matteo snuck it into the D.O.D., and injected his mom with it.[1]
The cure temporarily worked, before it backfired by making Peia's already dangerous powers uncontrollable. With help from Superman, Peia gained the courage to let go, which allowed her powers to erupt and kill her. Superman then delivered her body to Bruno and Matteo, to which the two sobbed over her corpse. Following these events, Matteo and his father were detained by the D.O.D.. Bruno made John Henry Irons promise to keep Matteo safe. After Bruno confessed to killing Boss Moxie, Matteo was likely forced to say goodbye to his dad, and Natalie and John Henry took Matteo somewhere safe to lay low.[6]
D.O.D. Academy[]
Matteo then began attending the D.O.D. Academy[7] and Bruno was imprisoned on Stryker's Island.[8]
Personality[]
Matteo is a kind and caring individual who cares a lot of about his friends and family. He treats women such as Natalie with respect and decency. When forced into a confrontation, he is not afraid to do what he has to do to protect himself and the ones he cares about. Overall, Matteo is the perfect balance between his mother's compassion and his father's aggression. When Matteo found out the truth about his parents, he was shaken up at first, but soon after overlooked it.
Abilities[]
- Peak of human physical condition: Matteo is in great shape for a boy his age. He is likely a star football player as he was strong enough to knock out one of his father's trained hitmen with one punch.
