Exo-Man

An Exo-Man is a fictional character or concept, typically found in science fiction, referring to an individual equipped with an exoskeleton or powered armor suit that enhances their physical abilities. These suits usually amplify the wearer's strength, speed, and endurance, and often provide protection from environmental hazards or weaponry.

The term often implies a humanoid form-factor for the exoskeleton, distinguishing it from other types of powered machines or robotic vehicles. The abilities granted by the "exo-"suit can vary widely, ranging from simple strength augmentation to flight, advanced sensor capabilities, and integrated weapon systems.

The character's background is often depicted as someone needing the exoskeleton to perform dangerous tasks, overcome a physical limitation, or function in a hostile environment. They may be a soldier, a construction worker operating in extreme conditions, or an individual with a disability utilizing the suit for mobility.

The concept of the Exo-Man explores themes of human enhancement, the relationship between humans and technology, and the potential consequences of relying on technological augmentation. The character's reliance on the exoskeleton can also be a source of vulnerability, raising questions about their capabilities and identity without the suit. The term is distinct from "Iron Man," which is a specific copyrighted character.
