How about the new composite Aluminum Glass? It's supposed to be stronger than a steel, light and transparent. Go Commando underneath and mind-fuck your opponents.

My sister would be better at explaining this since she's a materials engineer. It's not about hardness. But (and there's official scientific words here I can't remember and am leaving out) a thin sheet of titanium such as on armor, would be much more brittle than steel and prone to cracking. Its about the ability to absorb. Steel is a better material than titanium. The only reason titanium got such a good name was because it was lighter than steel and harder than aluminum. So its used a lot in space missions. If it weren't for that, it'd have very few uses.
Also, are you sure you have titanium and not some alloy? Almost nothing is pure titanium. Because alloys are better.
Not sure about the glass thing, but that sounds like a safety hazard.
PS Also I have no idea how the average person would cut and mold either of those materials without cracking. I have a tough time molding aluminum and that's soft...
