Suit Up clearly assists the Sidekick strategy introduced in Age of Apocalypse by allowing you to search up your identity-specific ally and the Sidekick upgrade in one shot. It can be a little tricky to manage - you need access to 7 total resources to play this, a 3-cost ally, and the 1-cost sidekick all in one turn. But if you've got a double resource in hand it can be done on turn 1. More generic Voltron strategies may run this as well if you need a certain ally like Yondu in play early. Training + Game Time decks may not care about what ally is searched for but need to see the Training early to turn on the copies of Game Time. Suit up is a great support card for adding consistency to any ally upgrade archetype!
It also has fun little quirky interactions like Rogue from Gambit's kit (who is normally completely free-to-play). Spending 3 ER for an ally with Tough and a one-cost upgrade isn't too shabby in that case. There are certainly other niche ways to make this event really sing. AoA was such a strong box that I think this is a fascinating little unsung hero.

Oh dang good call on Rogue. Makes me think of Black Widow's Winter Soldier ally as well. Lots of signature allies are just good enough to search for at a resource disadvantage because of what you get back by playing them.

The card doesnt state, that this is a "once per round/phase" anywhere... Neither does it tell you to exhaust... Is there an official errata for this? I might just play it with the exhaust option
