Twenty years ago, this was a movie prop:

It seems similar to what Raytheon has. Perhaps in time we'll get Tony Stark's version.

That was exactly what I was thinking of when I saw the Raytheon suit, too!

Maybe! I just re-read Haldeman’s “The Forever War”, they had (will have in the future) exoskeleton vacuum suits with more bells and whistles than you could imagine.

I liked Ripley’s cargo handler’s exoskeleton. The prop people put in wear and tear, and it just looked like Caterpillar or similar, right down to the controls.
