Augmented Reaction Suit, 'Vanquish'
It could be said about many of the armors on our list that the suit itself is the hero's greatest weapon; but in the case of
Vanquish, the sentiment is a literal one. Instead of building futuristic guns, DARPA invested in the Augmented Reaction Suit (ARS) to turn an everyday soldier into a walking tank.
Besides heightening the users strength, endurance, mobility and speed (negating any need for developing a "supersoldier serum"), the suit's BLADE system puts an entire arsenal at the user's disposal. Able to scan any battlefield weapon and essentially recreate it out of the suit's own parts. Assault Rifles can switch to Sniper Rifles, to Rocket Launchers and back again at the press of a button.
That special ability alone offers a deadlier suit than simple body armor, but its ability to slow down time makes it one of the most underrated
