I'll go with Dread power suit. I think its slickness and the combination of colors is unmatched. About MP4, I think that we won't have the classic Power-Varia-Gravity upgrades but something that maybe enhances her psychic power?

I loved the Dread power suit, and the gravity suit in particular. The purple with the green lighting down her torso looked really cool, kinda Evangelion vibes. Phazon suit from Metroid Prime was also badass.
I'm not sure what they'll do for MP4, but I feel like there HAS to be some series of visual upgrades. It's an integral part of the series at this point!
Wow I never made the connection with Evangelion! Now that I think about it the Varia suit is very similar to Asuka's EVA!
Ohh you're right! I feel like Evangelion has influenced a lot of Japanese media
In this case maybe it's the other way around since Super Metroid predates NGE 1 year! Also there were concept arts circulating since the first Metroid in 1986. Who knows..
I suppose it's a combination of things! Assumedly both were inspired by earlier mech anime and 80s sci-fi design
