[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7614527, member: 19675"] Oh nononono! I was thinking of the armor as much the same as Iron Man’s (or a Paladin’s, in fantasy). It isn’t a manifestation of the power, it’s a piece of technology there to protect the vessel in which the power resides when The Orgonaut goes into battle. When you look at pictures connected to the concept of orgone, you have things like the pyramids, but there’s also a bunch of wire-filled furniture and transistor packed boxes and other gizmos.

The armor protects the user, but especially contains and protects the machinery that collects and possibly aids in focusing the various orgone powers. Agreed on orgone energy powering his body to (slightly) superhuman levels of strength, speed, and healing. I could see him regenerating to a certain point, but not actually doing a Gallifreyan rejuvenation. And while his orgonically reinforced body would be inherently strong, fast and tough, he wouldn’t be able to duke it out with a typical superhero. Think...50% stronger and faster than current world record holders: clearly superhuman, but not so über as to seem [B]obviously [/B]godlike. Which is another reason for the armor: the suit would amplify his orgonic abilities beyond what he’d be able to do without it. Still not a powerful as someone like Iron Man, though. The Orgonaut would probably be able to win an encounter with a SWAT team, but not an entire police force or an armored division. The systems with which I am most familiar would DEFINITELY make those bypassing powers expensive- among the most expensive available. I hadn’t thought of it in particular, but agree that orgone powers shouldn’t bypass force fields. Good catch! Magic should likewise have some ability to blunt or utterly defeat orgone powers as well, depending on the details. I haven’t thought of him in ages!
