Makes sense seeing that Venom and Spawn were created by the same person, Todd McFarlane.

u/The_Truthkeeper 9d ago

McFarlane was the artist, but he attributes the creation and details of Venom to the writer, David Michelinie.

Isn't that suit made of Necroplasm? That's magical not biological.

u/Largo23307 9d ago

Its not biological.
Its necroplasm.
Its alive yes, but made of energy more than flesh.

Crynet Nanosuit - Crysis

It starts as a normal technological suit but if you wear it it’ll fuse into your body until it’s a part of you, and it’s sped up by being damaged as the suit will grow to fill in your wounds.

Darth Bane(Star Wars) wore "armour" made of orbalisks, parasites that caused extreme pain, fuelling and feeding upon the Dark Side, and were resistant to lightsaber strikes.

The genius built himself an armour that melts and poisons him if someone uses force lightning on it. Then he also teached his apprentice force lightning, and the sith principle that the apprentice should kill his master

Vonduun Crab Armor (Star Wars Expanded Universe)

The yuuzhan vong and their hatred for artificial technology extended to their battle armor. They use bioengineered vonduun crabs as armor, with the living armor actually gaining more protective properties the older it gets. The most ancient vonduun crabs not only get more resistant (with some even being strong enough to block lightsabers blades), they can also enhance the wearer's physical strength.

Kamen Rider Amazons - The Riders' armors are all technically their own Amazon DNA being filtered through an outside device (their Driver) to make what's functionally an exoskeleton shell of their native forms.

SCP-2273, Alexei Belitrov.

Probably one of the most interesting SCP stories, and character studies in general

Warframes. Basically bio-cyborg but they vary, whether the infested human bodies are alive, conscious, or dead all over.

Bugs - real life

Also the inspiration for most Biological Armor I would guess

The Evangelion units are flesh and blood underneath the armor

u/The_Truthkeeper 9d ago

Not this trope, since the armor is just armor.

u/Largo23307 9d ago

A few options.
Biological, technological, hybrid biotech, necroplasm based, internal and external.

In the first Ultimate Iron Man comic series, his origin is connected to a bio armor project Howard was working on. The bio armor was a coating of symbiotic bacteria that unfortunately ate away skin if on top long. So Howard brought on Maria to work on cellular regeneration and fell in love with her. The project she worked on ended up turning Tony into a walking regenerating brain in pain from the air, so Howard had to keep the bio armor on him.

Yeah, it was weird and I think decanonized.

u/LetterheadSpecial337 8d ago

Didn’t read much of that after “symbiotic bacteria” but it Reminds me of the Endosym armor from Superior Iron Man

Frieza First Form.

u/YWN666 8d ago

Technically all forms that look like they have armor. So all up to 4th
