## Equipment

* **Hyena Suit**: In his Gray Hyena persona, Choi wears a black and gold-lined combat suit that is composed of a specially-designed promethium-mesh weave akin to chain mail that is lightweight, energy-absorbent, nigh-indestructible and renders him immune to most physical damages especially from collisions and conventional weapons such as firearms. The Habit's promethium composition makes the user completely bulletproof and near-indestructible. Despite being made of metal, the suit doesn't seem to inhibit the wearer's mobility in the slightest. Due to the promethium absorbing and redirecting force, the user becomes physically superhuman. The gloves have promethium-laced knuckles built in, while the toes are also laced with promethium, both of these are meant to enhance strike attacks. The suit is accompanied with:
	+ **Helmet**: The Hyena helmet, which has similar properties with the suit, and is adorned with gold trimmings and slightly pointed arches on either side of the top that mimic the ears of the animal. The helmet has a safety lock in the rear area, enabling it to attach firmly to the user's head
	+ **Claws**: Two sets of extendable, retractable, and rejectable promethium Claws embedded in the fingers of the gloves like nails; serving as both utility and primary weapon of Choi during combat.

* **Utility Belt**: The Utility Belt is a specialized belt Choi wears to equip his crime-fighting gear. It carries an encrypted cell phone, a medical kit, smoke bombs, mini-explosives, periscope, and other unspecified equipment.

* **Grapple Device**: A line cable firing device that automatically entangles a limb of a flying or fleeing culprit, thus preventing their escape. It is kept in the utility belt.
* **Xandan Royal Ring**: The Royal ring worn by Choi serves as a key to open up a containment pod which he uses to store the Hyena Suit.
