Well. What I consider perfect.
This response scares the piss out of me. And if you don't know why, then I'm doubly scared.
Me? I would destroy it. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Don't believe me? would Truman have used The Bomb is Japan had one too? a suit like that, being one of a kind, would be a nearly unstoppable force on any battlefield, and can't be trusted in hte hands of anyone.
If you could truly. Honestly. Absolutely. Resist using the suit. For, even, one thing. Then that would 'scares' me.
If the world was filled with people who could resist such an opportunity. The suit would have no, real, reason to exist; as a weapon.
Comparing a precision, manually piloted, tool. Being used to capture and imprison induviduals. To a non distinguishing explosive. Which levels cities and kills the, thousands if not millions, of innocent residents within them. Is absurd.
Superman comics would have been very different if he had, simply, cut corners and thrown a-bombs from on high. At the countries, in which nazi government, or powers, had been installed.
You are reading more into a, light hearted, post than you should be. Save the assumptions and reductio ad absurdum. For a more meaningful debate. Not that the tactics will be welcomed; by the people quoted in those either.
