What you have seems to be very similar to Force of nature:

Power Name: Force of Nature
Rank: A
Requirements: Steel Skin
Description: The user further augments the steel skin's effect, drawing from the inherent strength of the earth to not only make the armor stronger, but to triple their natural strength. The user can also enhance his strength even further temporarily to lift objects as large as buses. This extra strength boost only applies when the user is attempting to lift objects.


In that case, you have your already very strong armor increased, father than a flat endurance increase.

I am reading this as your armor is reinforced, and your strength is augmented. Which are fine. But, there is nothing about this power that makes it especially unique compared to a slew of other powers we have that augment stats. A signature power should do something that you generally will not find on the global list. I do not think a simple attribute increase covers that.

With that being said, I would be happy to put a variation of this on the global list for your use, if you prefer. Your RPC only ever gets 5 signature powers, and they cannot be un-learned or replaced without great trial on your part. It is strongly recommended you not make one unless you have an idea for something that will be truly unique to your RPC (Adding dual-power set effects when you have a second power set is probably the best example) I have no problem with you using your signature technique to have this specific variant of enhanced strength, but I feel you could probably do more with the opportunity.

A global of this name and rank has been added. I did leave out endurance, however. Two buffs without a debuff are not what we would normally do, and the armor pretty much provides a C ranked endurance buff (The upgrade to it is the B ranked steel skin), so I think that niche is already filled. I hope this suits you well.
