He wanted to invent something... Something for SHIELD, something all personnel on SHIELD can rock and wear that he would invent. He snapped his fingers while inside of the SHIELD research lab. He decided to make suits that can send radio waves to eachother. They could speak to eachother, easily from their suits. He started by drawing it out, then making a rough draft. Trying to engineer it from start to finish. He followed all steps of the engineering process. First, gather information... He would easily gather information in making suits that can send waves to other ones, reporting their durability... And if they are under fire and what not. Starting to get it going, he made a small model of it for a GI Joe toy he had stuffed around somewhere. If he could make it model sized, he could make it life sized, it's that easy, right? It also would need a HUD, for certain things and what not so it can display it to the wearer. He steadily worked on that as well. After he finished that, he created a test model that he wore himself. Since, it was at its first stages... It was really heavy and bulky. He planned to make it more flexible and usable for combat. After he tried that out, he found a couple of more chinks in it. It would be hard to make it so that each suit would instantly send waves to eachother, but Easier and the suits could work at a longer distance if he routed them to a radio tower then to eachother, instead of sending it to others directly from themselves.
