Praetor Suit

The **Praetor Suit** is a legendary armored suit worn by both the Doom Slayer and the Scorch Slayer. It was an ancient artifact mass produced and worn by warriors of Natlan over 2000 years ago. The one Jack wears is a modified version of the Doom Slayer's own suit, recreated to fit Jack's measurements. Jack is always seen wearing this suit during battle (Except for the Irodori Incident.)

## Overview

The Praetor Suit is a dark green, silver, black and bronze suit that has served both the Slayer and Jack for years, providing them both durability, strength and combat enhancements to give them the edge in battle.

Currently, four versions of the Praetor Suit has existed throughout the series. The Slayers (First), Jack's First Suit (Second), Jack's Second Suit (Third) and Kiryu's exterior (Fourth.)

### **Origin**

The very first original variation of the suit was one of many mass produced by the Sentinel Forgers over 2000 years ago, for the sole purpose of protecting Natlan's guards and warriors safe and enhanced for any opponents that challenged the land of war. Once the Cataclysm hit Natlan, All of the suits that these warriors have worn were destroyed by waves and upon waves of incoming AntiMatter.

The Doom Slayer was able to escape the tyranny of Dharkon's mistake, making his suit the only survivor. After being transported the Abyss by constant fluctuation of the Infinity Stones in trying to seal Dharkon into a Domain, He was put to sleep there for over 500 years when he would wake up and find himself on Earth where he would meet a certain infant.

Despite all of the suits that were made, any suit prior to Jack's birth and the Doom Slayer's transport to the Abyss are all destroyed with no trace.

### **Attributes/Abilities**

The Praetor Suit is known for both it's extreme durability and preservation, still holding up even after thousands of years of it's material. However, this suit does include equipment and enhancements to the users overall prowess to give them edges in combat and maintain themselves in extreme environments. The Standard Suits include:

* **Rebreathers** - Regulates the air mixture in the helmet for high and low-pressure environments. Enhances oxygen intake for stamina increase.
* **Performance Flexibility** - Enables the user to maneuver more effortlessly, decreasing the required need to forcefully move one's body. This essentially makes the suit feel more lightweight.
* **Stabilizers** - Allows the user to adjust their movement and weight while in the air more effortlessly.
* **Delta Jump-Boots** - Allows for the user to increase both their jumping strength off the ground.
* **Kinetic Gauntlets** - Through repetitive motion (ex. Punching) allows the user to slowly store kinetic energy into their fists. When the user chooses to release the energy, they gain an explosive burst of power upon impact.
* **Kinetic Soles** - Through repetitive motion (ex. Kicking, Stomping) allows the user to slowly store kinetic energy into their legs. When the user chooses to release the energy, they gain an explosive burst of power upon impact.

## MK.II: Scorch

Currently, the suit exists as a third variant of itself, that being the **Praetor Suit Mk.II: Scorch** or simply the **Scorch Suit**. The reason why Jack moved onto this suit was due to the original being destroyed from the pectoral to the arm up from being striked with a devastating blow from Thanos. This suit has ventilation and emits steam and fire sparks to keep the user cooled. This is to prevent Stamina levels from dropping without relying on the Rebreathers.

While in his transformed states, the suit will overheat and eternal flames will combust wildly throughout his entire armor, most notably his lower legs and forearms. Several parts of the armor glow the color of flame.

**Attributes/Abilities**

This version of the suit carries on it's predecessors standard abilities and includes specific enhancements to provide Jack more of an edge in combat.

* **Ventilation Systems** - Due to the Pyro Demi-Archon's flame burning more hotter as time went on, Jack became more fatigued in combat. To prevent both stamina levels from dropping and increase comfort, the Scorch Suit includes a heat ventilation system which allows Jack's entire body to be cooled in the interior of the suit by releasing all built-up body temperature out into smoke and fire sparks.
* **Dash Thrusters** - Located in the suit's calves, Jack can maneuver easier to avoid incoming attacks. The thrusters propel Jack in the direction he wants.

After the battle against Disco Devil and losing the infinity stones, There was no method of bringing back the top half of the armor due to it's critical condition. Thus, the suit has lost it's rebreathers, half of it's ventilation systems and most notably the kinetic gauntlet, which without will decrease the impact of Jack's base Meteor Smash.

The lower half of the suit is still being used by Jack currently.

## Trivia:

-The original suit weighs a heavy 130 lbs (59 kg.) Jack's suits weigh about 75 lbs (34 kg.) The weight does not affect the suit due to it's Perfomance Flexibility feature.

-If Jack stayed in the Kaioken transformation for long periods of time in the original version of the suit, it would've slowly melted it away.

-The helmet of the suit is one of the key components of the suit, having it's own rebreather system to control the air for better oxygen intake. Jack doesn't wear the helmet due to being able to withstand different air environments from being a Demi-Archon.
