Yes, bones are quite optimal for uniform, high pressure environments but they still break easily on earth. So I don't want metal that acts like bone, I want a titanium exo-skeleton(*) that doesn't break at all so I can fight crime yet still never escape the real life issues that beset the little people.

(*) Maybe claws that shoot from my knuckles as well.

Wolverine with an exoskelton.

For me new parts I want a carbon nano tubes epidermis with self-correcting memory.

I want an exo-skeleton that lets me leap tall buildings with a single bound, run faster than a speeding bullet, and makes me stronger than a locomotive. Then you can call me SuperStud.

S/he might have enhanced ability to use leverage or enhanced 'breaking point' strength of the 'bones', but physical strength depends on the muscle mass more than the bones.
