Get ready all you Clark Kents, Scientists have developed a Superman suit which magnifies the wearers strength and endurance by a factor of twenty:
Rex Jameson bikes and swims regularly, and plays tennis and skis when time
allows. But the 5-foot-11, 180-pound software engineer is lucky if he presses
200 pounds — that is, until he steps into an "exoskeleton" of aluminum and
electronics that multiplies his strength and endurance as many as 20 times.
...
Jameson — who works for robotics firm Sarcos Inc. in Salt Lake City,
which is under contract with the U.S. Army — is helping assess the 150-pound
suit's viability for the soldiers of tomorrow. The suit works by sensing every
movement the wearer makes and almost instantly amplifying it.
