Ultraman Suit

The Ultraman suit (ウルトラマンスーツ) is an invention of Mitsuhiro Ide that first appears in the 2011 manga. In the absence of a Transformation Item, the suit is donned by the protagonists to become 'Ultramen'. The suits are essentially powered bio armors that Shinjiro, his father and others wear when in combat.

ULTRAMAN
A creation of Ide, though some of their technology was provided by Yapool, the suit is a device made to be worn by a bearer of the Ultraman Factor, allowing them to use a greater potential of their Ultra DNA than before. It has two known wearers, Shin Hayata and his son Shinjiro. The two wore them to fulfill their roles as 'Ultraman' for the SSSP, helping to battle evil aliens and act as a deterrent for other aliens who may think to commit similar atrocities.

Later models designed for normal humans have also been designed and built.

Trivia

 * The Ultraman suits bares a resemblance the robots from Linebarrels of Iron, a previous work done by ULTRAMAN's penning team Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
 * The suit can be seen as an artificial Ultra Armor (skin of an Ultra Warrior) since there are no transformation devices in the series, and without it, the main character would be helpless in a fight.
 * The suit is the first known, major Ultra related item to have been created by humans.
 * The eye visor of the Version 7 suit is based on Ultraman Noa's Energy Core.
 * The live-action suit used at Comic Con 2017, as well as the CGI model for the 2019 Anime has more red spots around the thighs and the neck, making it look more similar to Ultraman himself.
