*'''Powersuit''': A character whose powers are granted by a powered suit of some sort, which provides protection, increased strength, and often other powers such as flight. Implies the person in the suit is either “normal” or comparatively weak without it (i.e., it's the ''suit'' that has the powers, not the pilot). Also called a '''Powered Armor''', '''Battlesuit''', or '''Suitguy'''. (Examples: Iron Man, M.A.N.T.I.S. from the short-lived TV show of the same name). Unusual in that this archetype focuses on the ''origin'' of the hero's powers, rather than the ''nature'' of those powers. | *'''Powersuit''': A character whose powers are granted by a powered suit of some sort, which provides protection, increased strength, and often other powers such as flight.
