Working Title: Power Armor: From YKTTW
Silent Hunter: Has this been attempted in RL? I'm sure DARPA or someone like that would have done.
Noaqiyeum: There are a couple of groups that are working on it... I don't recall the details, but designs have been featured in Discover and Popular Mechanics a couple of times, as I recall.
Janitor: Overview at the other wiki...

Cassius335: Where's the pic from?
Servbot: Crysis
Large Blunt Object: I really, really don't think that pic ◊ gets the concept across. It's just a red and silver shiny thing - the design is such that you can barely tell it's human-shaped, and you certainly can't tell it's a man in armour rather than a robot or mech.
Cassius335: Maybe someone can find a picture of Ragnar Blackmane or somesuch...
Large Blunt Object: There are about five pages with Space Marines as the page image. There's GOT to be someone else who makes it look as good... >_>

Unknown Troper: In Gears Of War, the characters wear Powered Armor? Really? Though, I recall a popular theory for the Gears' strength is messing with genetics somehow, so the Super Soldier thing is held to be right by some.

The Gunheart: You know, now that we have the Mini Mecha trope, a few of these examples (like the District 9 one) should be moved there. Rule of thumb is, if the limbs are mostly mechanical rather then simply act as armor, it's a Mini Mecha.
Zarpaulus: I thought that the rule was that if there was a cockpit it was a Mini Mecha. The District9 example is still Powered Armor because Wikus was wearing it and the suit's limbs followed his movements.
