U.S. Army conceptual mock-up of an exoskeleton-equipped soldier.
A powered exoskeleton is a powered mobile machine consisting primarily of a skeleton-like framework worn by a person, and a power supply which supplies at least part of the activation-energy for limb movement.
Powered exoskeletons are designed to assist and protect the wearer. They may be designed for example to assist and protect soldiers and construction workers, or to aid the survival of people in other dangerous environments. A wide medical market exists in the future for providing mobility assistance for aged and infirm people.
Working examples have been constructed but are not currently widely deployed. Various problems remain to be solved, including suitable power-supply.
That looks pretty futuristic, and I’m sure with the added amour it will lower the death toll of soldiers in war. I wonder how fast someone can move with all the equipment on though.... Robocop wasn't a speedy guy LOL

Take over the world of course. I'd probably start by conquering a few smaller Asian countries, then have them make millions more suits for my ever-growing army of minions.
Although I'd have some fun before doing that - for example, running up beside cars doing 10 kph and throwing them into the ditch.

or walk onto the highway and stop 18 wheelers dead in their tracks, or maybe stand under a boeing 747 and right before it touches down, keep it from landing, spin it around, and give everyone on board motion sickness.:haha:
