I get an email back from My Guy in response to my request for some sort of aerial upgrade to the Marauder armor:
This is possible. You have four options:
1) Flight (expandable wings w/ propulsion, jet boots)
2) Gliding (expandable wings)
3) Mechanical Assist (grappling hook, “webline,” pogo platform)
4) Vehicle (air scooter, gyrocopter)
For the first three options, I would need your body armor for approx 1 week. Let me know.
I don’t think I can afford an air scooter, so the Vehicle option is out. The Flight option seems too expensive and over-the-top and strays too far from the brand image. I’m an urban avenger, you know? Plus, I think I’d kill myself. As far as the Mechanical Assist option, same argument: I’d just kill myself using a webline, or at the very least humiliate myself by swinging into a skyscraper. I’m not Black Ant or Arachnita or any of the other insecty heroes.
So that leaves Gliding. I wonder how that works, are there like, wings that flip out like a switchblade or are there skydiving/flying squirrel type wings?
I make the arrangements to ship my suit to one of My Guy’s PO Boxes. This means I have to wear my uncomfortable back-up armor, but in a week or two I’ll be flying! Gliding, anyway.
Pogo platform? What the hell is a pogo platform?

Hey, KH how do you do that hotlink thing in the comments field? That's keen.
Thank you for your input re: jet boots and your well-intended but ignorant comments about the Midnight Rambler, who is way cooler than Batman. You better recognize.
I'm not sold on the jet boots - I really think I might hurt myself. I mean, I run into shit all the time as it is; I don't know if I want to give myself more opportunities to run into shit.
Thank you, HTML guru. I'll try that.
Thanks to Castor as well for the wise words.

KH, dude, not cool. Sun Tzu is the writer of 'The Art of War', a novel EVERY warrior, including the VM, should read, IF they get the chance. Not tryin' to hate or nothin', though. I agree with your ideas for flight and your opinion on Midnight Rambler. I mean, Rambler? Geez. Anyway, Batman's definitely cooler, VM, though I'm sure he (Midnight Rambler) has his strong points. Peace, homies.
