"If we have erred, Rogers will be dead within seconds! For, he is drinking the strongest chemical potion ever created by man! But, if we succeed, he will be the first of an army of fighting men such as the world has never known! His reflexes, his physical condition, his courage, will be second to none!"
― Dr. Abraham Erskine (Tales of Suspense #63)

Properties[]

The character is a super soldier, a soldier or fighter artificially enhanced usually by scientific means that is/was (originally intended to be) used for military purpose to be beyond ordinary limitations for the purpose of combat and/or espionage. Super soldiers are often created by nations or very powerful independent heroes or villains, and their powers typically focus on combat.

Super soldiers can come in many forms, ranging from government-raised human weapons, cybernetically, genetically or chemically enhanced ordinary humans, to complete artificial lifeforms, or any combination of these.

Relationships/Variations[]

Flaws/Weaknesses[]

  • Process may cause various mental or physical side-effects that can range from irritating to debilitating.
  • Many super soldiers are just very strong members of their species, and so they often lack defenses to things they weren't engineered to handle.
    • For instance, their typical muscular super soldier has few defenses against psychic or magical attack.
  • Without training and/or experiences, the character can be defeated by those who are unenhanced but more skilled and/or stronger than them.
