A good idea, but the execution overpowers it way too much.

There is no kill like overkill. Though getting that good at martial arts is ridiculous.

There is no kill like overkill. Though getting that good at martial arts with no partners, or the benefit of any experience at all is ridiculous.
Italics mine, for emphasis. Not to mention finding a suit that has a frigging jetpack, multiplies your strength a thousand fold, and has integrated weapons. That's not an actual project, that's a plot device blatantly there for the sole purpose of curb-stomping. Not to mention, Harry can't possibly have been the only one to think of Imperiusing himself like that - there's nothing unique about him that makes it viable, the spell isn't recent, and there have been too many humans in history before him that could have thought of it first.

I thought he magicked the suit to strenghten himself thousandfold.
Imperius... How many would risk giving someone full control over you? Also, some of what he did needs muggle knowledge, though that might not be a huge part of the powerup.

I thought he magicked the suit to strenghten himself thousandfold.
It's not how he did it but the amount of power it gives that makes me disbelieve it. It's easy to say a thousand-fold, but if you think about it..
Let's say you have someone who works out regularly in the gym, and let's say he can bench 285 lb, or 129 kg. That means his muscles are exerting 1,266 Newtons of force (actually not since moments about the elbow are involved and the strength to lift weights up is greater than just holding it, but we'll ignore those).
Wearing this suit with this spell, this guy's muscules can exert 1,266,000 Newtons, meaning he can now hold a weight of 130,000 kg, benching 286600lb. For scale, according to Wikipedia a blue whale (the heaviest mammal in existence, now or ever before) weighs 190,000 kg.
Another example: the Boeing 737. The most it can weigh on takeoff is 85,100 kg.
This suit lets a weightlifter bench two medium-sized jumbojets at once. I think it's overpowered.
