Super soldiers are soldiers that are extremely skilled and technologically enhanced, both in fiction and real life. Super soldiers can be made more powerful by using genetics and cybernetic augmentation. They can also be enhanced through surgical means, brainwashing, black magic, and other methods. These super-soldiers have enhanced strength, mobility, psychic sensitivity, and other abilities. These soldiers can often be controlled through extreme training, and they often face other, evil counterparts.
There have been numerous attempts to make super soldiers in the real-world. Soviet Union attempted to create super soldiers. They tried to make a super assassin using the X-23 programme. Unfortunately, their experiment failed. They tried to put Vision bits in the bodies of living human subjects, but this failed. They later locked up their attempt.
The United States is looking at the possibility of developing super soldiers. The Department of Defense is placing emphasis on off-the-shelf components and technology, which offer tremendous cost savings, and allow for rapid delivery. These technologies were developed in the private sector. The Pentagon places a high priority to leveraging them. The DoD even offered a bounty to anyone who could develop a super soldier.
Porton Down, the UK's notorious for its unorthodox human experimentation, is also infamous. The UK has also developed a team of spec-ops superhumans, which is often referred to as The Order. These men are recruited through torture or augments. The Order is bound by a one-year contract.
The US Army also plans to develop super soldiers. There are many studies mentioning super soldier technology. But the Army has yet take the leap of faith and integrate them in its battles against Soviet Union.
Although there is no concrete evidence that the US Army has super soldier technology, scientists discovered genes that could potentially be exploited to create the effect. These genes increase the oxygen carrying capacity of blood, which can be activated with certain techniques.
The most striking of these technologies is the "Power Nullifier", which makes people with genetic mutations virtually unkillable infantrymen. Although it may seem like a joke, this is actually a serious undertaking. These people are also genetically unable to evolve. They will never age.
Another example of the "mood" showcasing off-the-shelf technology is the Strader Pharmaceuticals serum which gives super strength. The serum is a gimmick, but it's also responsible for causing anger, paranoia, and body degeneration. The mysterious benefactor of this gimmick promises Mal large sums of money in return for information about super soldiers.
The Hive Mind psychic gun is another scam. This is a fictional psychic weapon that the United States Defense Department has created. They haven't yet come up with any practical applications. The Disposable Superhero Maker, on the other hand, is not actually a real thing.
