Remember Batman in Kingdom Come? In the graphic novel, an alternative-future and paralyzed Bruce Wayne moves around with an exoskeleton. Robotic braces allow him normal movement, all controlled like his mind.
Similar technology may become mainstream soon actually. Argo Medical Technologies in Israel is currently holding US trials for its ReWalk. Thats a exoskeleton that allows people who are paralyzed from the waist down to use their legs again.
