4. The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armour
Hey, wouldn't high school have been so much better if you had stumbled across a super-suit that gave you all sorts of awesome powers? Apparently not, especially for Sho Fukamachi, a 17-year-old who finds himself in just this sort of situation in the 1989 OVA, The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armour. What Sho finds out is that once this happens, your problems are far from over; you actually graduate to a bigger schoolyard, where the jerks have the strength of five elephants or the power to instantly burn a man alive. And the jerks still work in packs, but wedgies and FaceBullying have been replaced by the plan to skin you alive to get the armour back. Awesome. The series is based upon manga and has had quite a few permutations over the years, including two live-action movies.
How This Could Work: The Guyver is a suit of organic power armour, gifting the wielder with enhanced senses, speed, and strength as well as in-built energy weapons, and extendable vibro-blades capable of cutting vehicles in two. In addition to these, it conceals in seconds by an automatic quick-costume-change. The protagonist is transfixed in the midst of characters who all hold more information than he does, and yet are unwilling to give him a run of straight answers. An evil corporation run by monsters regularly puts out hit contracts on the hero. For a play concept, think Spiderman without webs, in a fully destructible environment, and the archenemy is a massive organisation with no shortage of resources and muscle that it will not hesitate to throw at the player or the people he cares about.
