[mizptdns] Cornstarch-Man

The superhero has skin, or armor, or emits a dampening field, that stops high-speed objects (like bullets) but lets low-speed things through, kind of like cornstarch in water suspension.

In fact, body armor based on non-Newtonian shear thickening fluid is being developed in the real world.

Also similar to the personal shield in Dune.
