Powers and abilities
The basic armor was a plasticized metal alloy of Curtis' own design. (Hardware v1 #1)
To equip his armor, he made use of a device known as the Shell Forger. Before activation, the Forge was a sheet of the alloy stretched across it like a drum skin. Upon passing through the Forge, it stretched around his body and then seals itself. The Forge then polarizes the alloy which becomes the basic armor. (Hardware v1 #1)
