Powered Armor: Difference between revisions

** Unfortunately, in the sequel, B-Ko's father (Who may or may not be an [[Expy]] for [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]]) wears a similar suit... [[Nightmare Fuel|And doesn't bother to alter the design for a male body!]]

* {{spoiler|Chao Lingshen}} claims the outfit she wore during the [[Story Arc|festival arc]] of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' was merely a somewhat upgraded version of a standard battlesuit from her homeland, but even without the built in time-travel device it straddled the line with [[Clothes Make the Superman]].

* The ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]'' manga presents Do-chan (for dogi, a martial arts uniform, plus an affectionate suffix.) It is an ancient, sentient (and utterly perverted) suit of armor that looks like a puffy Chinese blouse, black leggings, and a yin-yang belt. It can move around independently, has limited senses (sight, hearing, and touch, at least) and can fight to defend itself. It will only accept a female owner, but those who wear it will find that their speed, power, and agility have been increased to match their own ultimate potential. Thus, when Akane wears it, she can punch enormous craters into asphalt, [[Roof Hopping|leap over buildings]], and generally outclass Ranma to the point of utter humiliation.

** A more straight-up example is the Battle Armor which [[The Woobie|Gosunkugi]] purchased [[Charles Atlas Superpower|off a mail-order ad]]. It promises amazing strength and incredible combat skills for defeating one's foes... and it certainly delivers, except that it locks into place as soon as you put it on and only activates when said foe comes along. And ''then'', you have a very limited time to defeat him before the suit self-destructs.
