Interesting. I just finished reading a trilogy novel called the Renegades where a character called the Sentinel had his armor packed in a compartment in his chest. I just want to see Roger in the suit again. I don’t care if it takes him ten minutes to put it on. Maybe team up with Scott Lang and he can shrink it. There are lots of possibilities. None of them matter if he doesn’t get any writer interest. Only Hallum and Spencer showed any interest in Roger.
That WOULD make sense, as the T-Bolts are usually about reforming villains. That's not what the current team is though, it has members who've never been villains (Monica, Power Man, and America), and their aim is to redeem the Thunderbolts name itself, which had recently been used by villains with no intention of heel-face turning.

I know it's just my opinion, but I would like to see the Thunderbolts title return to something closer to what it was. This time though make it villains who actually are attempting to change. Led by Songbird and maybe Atlas, bring in Titania, Crusher Creel...would be perfect for Roger. Tag line "Trying to change their lives....but will the heroes let them?"
Weak, But Skilled. Common enough, that it's a trope.

I have said before that Roger needs some sort of enhancement. Even if he keeps the suit he needs to have a way to keep it with him (the armor matrix thing I suggested above or Darla Deering's Thing Rings for ideas) and maybe some sort of Super Soldier Serum Light like Codename: Bravo or the 2nd Tarantula.
Teams need to be balanced out. Speed, skill, strength, power, tactical, etc. Who knows now that Jessica Drew trained Roger he might fall into the skill and tactical part. He is also a ranged fighter so he could take on the ones that the strong peopl can’t get close enough to. Atlas, Titania, Absorbing Man, Rhino. That’s a lot of bruisers. This team would kick some ass. They could smack the Avengers around.
Roger could be what the Fixer/Techno was to the team. I’m not sure how tech savvy Roger is though. Norbert Ebersol would be a tough act to follow. That guy created the Mach persona for the Beetle. There is still a lot we don’t know about Roger that needs to be explored.
