Line 51:
* In Frank Miller's ''[[300]]'' features Spartans going bare-chested into battle, with little but loinclothes and bracers as armor besides their shields. Miller, with his background drawing spandex-clad superheroes, was more comfortable drawing human physiques, and thought the Spartans in armor looked too weird. In reality, Spartans wore heavy bronze armor, including breastplates, which was a major advantage over the cloth armor and wicker shields of the Persian soldiers.
* In the ''New 52'', ''Superman'' wears armor. Given that he's tougher than any materiel in the DC universe, the only possible explanation for this is that he wants clothing that won't disintegrate when he so much as sneezes. There's a Yakkov Smirnoff joke in there somewhere.
* [[Spider-Man]]'s enemy the Vulture used [[Powered Armor]] during the brief period where he had de-aged himself and became a young man. If was later destroyed by a monster called DK, who also caused him to regress back to his true age, and he [[Status Quo Is God|never seemed motivated to rebuild it.]] He did consider doing so once in a story where he was with some other villains at the Bar With No Name; Kraven (as in, Alyosha Kravinoff) advised him not to, saying he himself never had much luck with armor.
