Synopsis for "Vertigo"

John Henry Irons is feeling anxious for reasons he can't explain. He calls Guy Gardner, who is actually happy that his Warriors bar is full with a rush of costumers looking to drown their sorrows in alcohol. Irons then heads to Metropolis as Steel to seek Superman's advice. Superman can tell Steel is emotionally unstable right now, so he asks Steel to watch over Metropolis while he meets with the Justice League to discuss the mysterious change in mood and fluctuating powers around the world. Unfortunately, as Superman leaves, his out-of-control powers inadvertently shut down Steel's suit, and he begins to fall out of the sky.
