The newest trend in suits for soldiers comes with more — and lighter — body armor, plus boosters for the knees and ankles. If it sounds like something out of a Marvel Comics movie, you’re not far off.

“[The suit] can make you run faster and for longer distances,” explained Col. Alex MacCalman of U.S. Special Operations Command.
