Technical plausibility wasn't a concern when Sony Pictures and Marvel created this version of Doc Ock, the scientist fused with a robot in Spider-Man 2. Yet the Pentagon hopes to merge computer science and mechanical engineering to augment human prowess. It has doled out research grants to develop muscular exoskeletons like this one (right), from the University of California at Berkeley, to jack up the carrying capacity of a soldier, fireman, or factory hand.
