Using the Near-Field, C limitation from Powers: Enhanced Senses, Penetrating Vision can provide an effective Powers-based way to replicate the effects of Armor Without Faceplates from Ultra-Tech, using psi, magic, etc. Penetrating Vision (PM, -10%; Near-Field, C, -30%; Specific, Metal, -40%) comes to [2]. Using the Psychotronic/Metatronic Generator rules, this can represent such a visor enchanted to be transparent only to its wearer; being limited to only that specific object might even warrant costing it as a perk, whether as a Gadget or with money.

Similar things could be done with Penetrating Hearing [5/level] or Penetrating Smell [1/level], to be able to use other ranged senses even with your head encased in solid metal.
