A codpiece (from Middle English: cod, meaning "*******") is a covering flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers and usually accentuates the genital area.
For our visual learners, please see Figure 1:

For those who are still unable to ascertain the object in question, its the giant Alien larva looking thing protruding from that mans underpants in Figure 1. Further examples provided in Figures 2 and 3:

*This may or may not be a codpiece covered by spandex.
The codpiece also has a practical function of protecting certain male vulnerabilities, and thus must be sculpted to size to protect the wearer. This applies particularly to armored combat. Which brings us to Figure 4:

Clearly the Atlas is packing Long Tom artillery if you know what I mean. No doubt this leads to a lot of inconveniences in his life, such as:
-Urination and no. 2 (the toilet water is quite cold)
-His intimidated lady friends
-Poorly fitting pants
-Can't wear short shorts for fear of exposure
-His NARB's could potentially poke an eye out
-Jogging
-Lotion and tube sock expenses for his 9 to midnight
I would like to start a fundraiser for Male Member Reduction Surgery for the Atlas, but unfortunately this really doesn't fall under any category in Kickstarter. I figured the next best place was here. So if you would please leave your pledge amount in the replies, we can get an estimate of the funds we can raise for Mr. Atlai and setup a Paypal thingy or something...
