Surprised it didn't mention Iron Man. That is almost certainly the most popular of sci-fi body armor at the moment.

This is touched in the article about how they manage to keep melee weapons as focus points. Realistically, no armor is protecting you from modern gun fire. And many hits that are survived by the likes of iron man would kill the person inside, regardless of if the armor survived.
