visited this clinic a couple of months ago to get an x-ray of my teeth. it was only when i got there that i realized the place was owned by a doctor with such an awesome name. too bad i was attended by a nice radiologist named Claire, and not someone who struck me as reminiscent of the namesake.

next on my agenda is finding a new dentist with an even cooler name. imagine how hardcore that would be, telling people you got your ivories repaired by Doctor Pain.

ladies and gentlemen…

*drum roll please*

the first working exoskeleton that can potentially increase human strength by a factor of 10.

now, this thing has been in development with the end goal of helping sick and disabled people. but then again, the Iron Man prototype was originally developed by Tony Stark to help keep his heart ticking… and look at what that thing is now. busting Thors. busting Hulks. busting metahuman ass. yeah.

and as if the first working Iron Man suit wasn’t enough, the Japanese have also developed something akin to cloaking technology.
the freakiest part of it all? both the cloaker and the exoskeleton were developed by University teachers. in an academic environment.

just think of how much farther they’d get if they had military-grade budget. or Area 51-like facilities. i mean, think about it: a kevlar-composite exoskeleton that provides impressive strength, agility and speed boost, that MAKES YOU INVISIBLE.

anybody armed with that can walk up to you and simply deliver your last rites in the form of an awesome tagline like

“i must… break you.”
or

“You have no chance to survive make your time”

and before you could say “All your base…”, he’d activate cloaking and fuck you up, predator-style.

i may look like i’m overreacting now, seeing as i’ve just paralleled real-world technology with comic book awesomeness, but how can we be sure that these things won’t be developed with military applications anytime soon? the exoskeleton should go to market for only $20k each. American forces in Iraq carry ordinance worth more than that.

in any case, when the whole Cyborg Apocalypse happens, don’t say i didn’t tell you so. i just hope that it happens in true explosive Anime style… with proper subtitles.
