Dark Void is hotness. You have a jetpack and guns, you bash killer robots in their robo-privates, jack flying saucers (!) and generally behave like a cross between William Katt in Greatest American Hero and Jesse Ventura in Predator, which is about the highest praise I can possibly bestow upon a single character not composed entirely of explosions and/or wearing a bikini. The single greatest element of Dark Void -- the "X," as we Marketing Tools call it -- is the jetpack strapped to Will's back: it's glow-y and cool, squirts fire, is upgradeable and is part Harley, part F-18 Hornet, part Rocketeer. And compared to the jetpack that Gizmodo's Mark Wilson got to test out, emininetly portable.This real life Martin Jetpack does not have guns, nor does it come with robot assailants to crotchsmash. In truth, it's not even technically a jetpack, more like the back half of an Osprey with a seatbelt attached. While Mark did get to nervously hover a few feet over a grass field, he certainly did not save the earth from an impending invasion by parallel dimensional alien overlords.
