10 Comic Book Inventions That Could Actually Change The World

9. Armoured Battle Suits

An armoured battlesuit, such as the type worn by Iron Man, War Machine or Steel, has been on my Christmas list every year since I was 10 years old. Alas, over the years, I€™ve slowly come to terms with the fact that they don€™t actually make them... Still, you€™d never believe it from the sheer amount of battlesuits worn in comic books. From Lex Luthor€™s purple and green power suit, to New 52-era Batman€™s armoured costume, battlesuits appear to be all the rage in comicland. A typical comics battlesuit contains rocket boots for limited flight, projectile weaponry (or concussive laser blasts) in the gloves and the ability to give a nasty shock to anyone who grabs you from behind. These suits can also allow users to breathe underwater and withstand tremendous amounts of physical punishment. I don€™t know about you, but that all sounds good to me.
