You could make a man-powered suit with power assist, ala power steering,
power brakes, or any other number of analogies. It just takes smaller
power sources and actuators, and we're moving in that direction. Keep
the dream alive.

Here's a sort of rigid/flexible concept that works now.

Let's see, if we have a power steering type assist, and then we need power
to run the assist, then that means we need a power source, like an engine.
Do we still have man powered flight?

NOPE

By the way, anyone seen one of those man powered, power assisted flying
units at your airport? Come on now, there must be at least one out there
somewhere.
