This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What drives a powersuit?

Power cells, or a generator with fuel, pretty much. It is going to be electric as J. Arcane states due to the needs of a powersuit.

Of course I really want to say "The Blood and Souls of your enemy!"

Gas Turbine Generators.

If you have the technology to build servomotors small and fast enough to make an effective powersuit, then you have the technology to make a gas powered turbine generator small enough to be used to power them. Incorporate some high-efficiency thermocouples and you could have them run on liquified methane and air, with the liquid methane being pre-heated by the thermocouples that run from the pre-heater to the exhaust manifold.

Want thrusters? Make the tech level a bit higher and the gas turbines become MHD turbines, more efficient and can be throttled to either vent the exhaust gasses or pass them through a convergent-divergent nozzle for thrust.
"Meh."
