He currently wears a costume we call the Ikon Suit, designed by Dr. Ikon, a Canadian superhero who was once one of Slade Wilson's partners in covert ops (David Isherwood, a nervous, Jeff Goldblum-type introduced in issue #2). The Ikon Suit contains a point defense shield system which senses incoming force (a punch, a bullet) and hardens the uniform in those spots, like the shields on the Enterprise.And, like the Enterprise shields, the wider the surface the Ikon Suit needs to defend, the weaker the shield.
From Christopher Priest.
So the SMALLER the surface area the suit needs to defend, the stronger the shield.
