Super-strong cyber suits for everyone!

Wait, what do you mean I have to be disabled by a brain or spinal injury? I just want one!

Sweet………..
Running to work everyday might be possible with one of these!

Neat

There is a thread, I think by fugu but I am not sure (might ne noeman), about this.

Loks cool, huh? It would make long distance running easier, right Jay?

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Yeah, it was me. I want one too!

The Japanes do love their Robots.

This is cool. [Smile]

I think OSC's next venture into comics should be the adventurers of the superhero Noemon with his exoskeleton that can walk up walls and other stuff.

What were all your powers going to be again? I lost track.

Hmmm...Ultimate Noemon? I'll have to find that thread (those threads) about cool tech I want and bring it back to the top. The exoskeleton and the gecko gloves and shoes were my most important tools in the fight against crime though.

Can I be your villainous arch-nemesis? [Big Grin]

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Sure, if your super powers are cool enough.

So far my two favorite candidates are The Maroon Marauder (who doesn't really have any super powers to speak of, but who has a cool name) and Vector, who spreads (through ultra high velocity sneezes and the judicious use of snot rockets) a genetically engineered virus that turns people into his zombie-like minions. They'd have conquored the world for him by now if they weren't all too busy lying on the couch eating chicken soup and watching The Price Is Right and I Love Lucy reruns.

It sounds a little like Issib's floats in the Homecoming series.

In an interesting turn of events, an elderly person equiped with a HAL 4 exoskeletal assistance device died after falling down the stairs when the device's battery failed mid-climb.

Link?

That was a joke Noemon [Smile]

A possible future headline.
