A mask, adopted by Roy Jones (formerly The Flying Brick). He was given a super high tech armour known as the terminus Suit, which can only be worn by an invulnerable being because it is ablated directly onto his skin by a set of particle accelerators using claustronium focusing membranes. The suit has nine accelerators on rooftops all over the city, and Roy needs a clear line of sight to at least four of them (normally five) in order to transform. The accelerators lock onto transmitter implants in his wrists and all major joints, so he simply needs to touch his wrists together in the right haptic gesture in order to activate them. This would be easy, if he didn't need to be above rooftop level in order to get line of sight. And even with his natural gravity-bending abilities, that can be a challenge because by Hope City Centre standards, a hundred storeys is considered small.

Appearance

Description from his first appearance:

The door closed again with a dull thunk, and the apparition stood stock still while the theatrical smoke cleared. Initially, some of them weren’t entirely sure whether the tank-like figure before them was a suit of armour or some kind of robot. With the joint expertise of all the specialists who’d been called in here it would have been in their power to develop either. What they were sure about, with all the engraved eagles, badges, and other symbols of patriotism decorating the heavy plates, was that this design had been crafted to scream ‘super soldier’ to anyone who saw it. Right in the centre of the chest, a panel two feet wide bore a large embossed logo, the only part of the decoration that wasn’t incorporated into some form of lights, vents, weapons, or mounting points for other gadgetry. Beneath the shield that represented the city and a stylised image of Hope Tower itself were the letters ‘CU’ rendered in baroque serif capitals. There could be no mistaking the intended allegiance of the figure they were looking at.
