How exciting it would be to use EAP's (electroactive polymers) that can bend stretch and change shape in response to electrical signaling. You basically put on a skin tight thick suit (like a dry suit) that is controlled by your own bodies electrical signaling via an implant? Sort of like a fascia outside of the body that gives you a massive boost of strength and super human ability. Fantasy, I know.....
