Quite a few good choices here, but I selected the relatively underappreciated Skyrocket.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
Had to go with Skyrocket as well. I miss the Power Company. On another note is their something I'm missing about Steel? He's seems talked about a lot both in this thread, the all POC thread and the superman thread. Are his comics worth reading?
Cyborg's my fave. Honorable mentions, Steel, Robotman, Blue Beetle and Sky Rocket.
Cyborg easily.
Don't complain. Create.

Hardware, undeniably. the best (probably only) thoroughly afrofuturist character associated with DC.
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
I voted Other for the o overlooked Technocrat. I like Hardware and Engineer too.
I voted for Cyborg, though I'm not totally sure if he qualifies, since it's, you know, it's just his body, rather than a full-on armor suit.
Steel came very close. He's extremely underrated, and his co-creators Jon Bogdanove and Louise Simonson are each one of the greatest Superman artists and writers ever, respectively.
All of which said, I don't know Hardware half as much as I would like to, and I like him half as much as he deserves. I understand that Hardware is really one of the unsung greats, and I keep meaning to get into him as a character.
I suppose the new Milestone world is as good a chance as I'm going to get! I better get reading!
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
Gonna' go with Power Suit Lex Luthor.
Then after that, Shaquille O'Neal's Steel just for the cheese factor, because I find I'm not particular fond of any other characters or armored iterations of characters I can think of off the top of my head. For example, I like Wonder Woman, but I'm not particularly interested in her armor.

Gotta say I went Robot Man, choosing to interpret it as Bob Crane, alias Paul Dennis. The original Iron Man.
