"Slimmer."

...is there a Titanium Man right now? It's a high-mortality gig, but I thought it was a state-sponsored job; you don't usually see a freelance TM. The names I picked were from popular Russian boys names, or at least what the internet claimed were such. The Red Room types, the Widows, I would expect to be a parallel track of operatives but possibly expected to know something to support their confederates. 

It very rarely comes up as such, but I think old Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe entries for armor types would sometimes describe the suits and multiplying the wearer's strength by a factor of such and such. So what happens if you put someone that's already super-strong in one of those? Would Alexei be extra-strong, or would it be like wearing too-tight of a suit and shredding it on the first flex? Hmm.

Probably more like the second but I'd say there's an upper limit to mechanical strength enhancement, so it'd be like he's just a little bit stronger with it.

Yeah based off that assessment, then yeah, anyone with super/augmented strength would in turn have that strength further augmented by the suit.

Looking up Titanium Man's wiki page it looks like it's there's not so much one sole TM, but multiple TM's running around at any given time, kinda' like an unofficial franchise that can be co-opted at any given time for the sake of the story.

Still want that MS Titanium Man figure though.
