Main

 * Liam Andrews/Steelhand - a war veteran who lost his hand early in the war, causing him to come home early, getting his hand replaced with steel and is now a vigilante.

Supporting

 * Lisa Roberts - a scientist of Z-Tech who Liam has a crush on.
 * Mason Zanetti - the CEO of Z-Tech who is an ally to Steelhand and Liam's best friend.
 * Detective Harvey Tex - a detective who had a dislike of Steelhand at the beginning, eventually becoming one of his closest allies.
 * Dr Julian McWill - a psychologist and an old friend of Liam who he usually visits to talk about his war traumas.
 * Ashley Yellow - a news reporter who, unlike Marie, believes that Steelhand isn't a menace to the city, usually covering his acts.
 * Mayor Jimmy Hora - the Mayor of San Francisco and a close client of Z-Tech.
 * Quinton Andrews - Liam's overbearing and aggressive father who he has a strained relationship with.
 * Tiffany Michaels - Liam's supportive mother who was never married to his father.

Antagonists

 * Dr Thaddeus Storm/Iron - a scientist who used to work for Z-Tech and got into an accident, turning his skin to turn into iron.
 * Children of Ares - a cult of people who worship Ares, consisting of:
 * The Red Mask - a mysterious figure in a red mask who leads the Children of Ares.
 * Elizabeth Johnson/Snowstorm - a rich madame who gains the ability to control ice.
 * Albert Popov/Tungstenhand - a Russian man who had his arm cut off and replaced with one made of tungsten by terrorists as a foil to Steelhand.
 * Maxwell Alexander/Psycho Paradox - a former employee at Z-Tech who was involved in the same accident as Iron. He was originally just a janitor but after the accident, his IQ grew to genius level and he gained the psionic capabilities of a god. Luckily, he has a rather large weakness: he is massively egotistical and refuses to believe he can ever make a mistake.
 * Ty Bluesky/Papercut - a villain who can make paper very sharp. He is often made fun of by other villains and rarely ever poses a real threat. In fact, just to show how unthreatening he is, he wears a paper mask instead of a villain costume. He has gone on record as saying he is only a villain to impress Thaddeus Storm, who he has a rather large crush on, much to his annoyance.
 * Marie Dixon - a news reporter who is soon revealed to have been in contact with a mysterious device giving her electrical powers.
 * John Zanetti/Savage - Mason's less successful brother who ends up being drugged into being a full monster.
 * Luke King/Midas - a con man gifted with the powers to turn people into gold.
 * The Candy Bowl - a criminal gang who are all named after sweet things, consisting of:
 * Candy Man - the leader of the gang who is known for being rather intimidating and intelligent.
 * Sugar - Candy Man's "main squeeze" who is known for being rather flirty.
 * "Marshmallow" Thompson - the smart member of the group who always carries a laptop with him.
 * Charles "Chocolate" Kyle - a quiet hulking beast of a man whose entire life is violence.
 * Lewis "Red" Liquorice - the younger of the Liquorice brothers who is rather mad.
 * Michael "Black" Liquorice - the older of the Liquorice brothers who is very well kept.
 * Mandy "Peanut" Butter - Chocolate's girlfriend who is both madly in love with him and just plain mad.
