If you’re in love with comic books, with cartoons or read science fiction books about superheros. I’m pretty sure you’ve read or saw one about a super soldier. The idea of having a super soldier in real life would be surreal. What you could use the soldier would change war and battle strategies. Forcing soldiers to come up with different strategies. It would also force the enemy as well to change its battle plan or probably fleeing back. Super soldiers are those who are strong and able to resist anything and anyone. Its part of the genre science fiction because it is dealing with the imagination of a creator to create such thing that is so powerful. With a enhanced technology of course.
Many armies could use a soldier that is intimidating, strong, patriotic, and frightening. In battle that could be really helpful to make the enemy to turn the other way and fleeing back and making sure they wouldn’t come back. In Marvel comics there have been plenty of cases where that has happened. Such as the well known character, named Captain America (aka Steven “Steve” Rogers). He was a human that joined the military and volunteered for the experiment to create the world’s first superhero. The results turned out well and he became a super soldier, the first of its kind in the Marvel Universe. He was created during WW2 to defeat the Nazis. Steve’s friend James Buchanan Barnes (aka Bucky or The Winter Soldier ) He was also turned into a superhuman. He was created, because he was in a terrible accident in battle and the enemy found him and they engineered him to become an assassin to get rid of their enemies. He has super strength and they gave him a bionic arm. ( Since his real arm was amputated off. ) Bruce Banner (aka The Incredible Hulk), ...

...t was really real then pretty sure they will die.
The hardest part of making a super soldier would be training them physically or mentally. Which doesn’t really pop out in movies until this year 2014. An example can be the Divergent book and movie. The Erudite teamed up with some bad Dauntless leaders. Injected a mind controlling serum to all the Dauntless group, which created a super army that cause a war in the story. Without the Dauntless group knowing they were under control.
Super soldiers are strong and created either by an accident, or for a purpose to use them. Capable of resisting anything and/or anyone in their way. Popular within our culture today, especially within the children and some teenagers. Many may be wondering if there are such a thing of super soldiers or if its just in our science fiction imagination in movies and comics. Who knows?
Recently, students of Olympian High School have stumbled upon the question, "What is a hero?" In the school's 2013 Young Minds Essay Contest, students are expected to consider universal concerns and ideas. Many times when people think of a hero, they think of Superman, Batman, and many other Marvel characters who display unattainable superpowers. However, heroes are prevalent throughout the world.

...portant before engaging in any warfare. The team should plan well on how to engage the enemy and adhere to the plan unless an unprecedented occurrence takes place; the team should also consider a plan B. Thirdly, apart from physical warfare, the mental warfare can be used to convey a message that affects the confidence of the enemy negatively. The First Special forces adopted a strategy of scaring away the Germans using stickers with threatening messages; the color of their faces was also scary and facilitated in camouflaging. Fourthly, military concepts should never be made public, the adoption of the force was a big secret but the success was tremendous. Lastly, coordination and a good chain of command is key in conquering in any battle. Without proper coordination an army can be destabilized by the enemy, however, proper chain of command guarantees performance.
The Army requires its members to adhere to prolonged training and learn specialized skills. From the moment a soldier transitions from the civilian sector into the Army, he is indoctrinated with training. Regardless of rank, the Army demands each soldier to be technically proficient and mentally competent in order to be qualified in a respective Military Occupation Specialty. As a soldier progresses in his military career, he is required to continue his education and training. Army leaders are expected and required to continue developing their skills through academic studies, operational experience, and institutional training. An opposing view argues that anyone can learn these skills; however, statistics show less than 0.5% of the population serves in the armed forces, indicating a soldier is a rare mix of intelligence and character.1 These lessons are necessary qualifications to achieve what General Martin Dempsey describes as “effectiveness rather than efficiency.”2 Much like the profession of medicine which must heal, the media which must provide truth, and law which must provide justice, the profession of arms must provide secur...

Iconic and well recognized heroes like Hercules, Superman, Spiderman and Achilles are some of the few heroes known around. All heroes have a similarity to each other, for example Beowulf and Batman. While both can be considered great heroes, they differ significantly, yet are similar in other ways.
What is a hero? Is it a character who has immense strength and is admired for his or her outstanding achievements in situations that are different from what normal life is like? After World War I, many young boys thought that participating in a war was a rite of passage, a way of becoming men. They looked up to their fathers and grandfathers as “heroes” who fought for their country, and they wanted to become just like them. When World War II began, those boys believed this was their chance to become just like their heroes by fighting for their country. If they survived, they would be considered heroes upon their return.

Many people think that a hero is a person who monitors the skies defeating all unwanted agitators that cross the threshold of our near perfect society. Many people think a hero needs to have superpowers, like incredible strength, supervision, or super speed, but on the contrary, a true hero is what we see in the readings, “Oh Captain! My Captain, Fredrick Douglas by Robert Hayden, and Love Triumphs”.
Unlike Joseph Campbell, Joseph Loeb and Tom Morris describe heroism as individuals who rise above the universal and altogether concern for the self and rather focus on the needs of others, serving the greater good and being selfless. (11). What made this definition superb compared to Joseph Campbell’s it that is breaks down the stereotypical hero and gives perspective to the everyday heroes. As stated in their work, “what’s so heroic about stopping an armed robbery if your skin is bulletproof and your strength is irresistible by an ordinary, or even extraordinary, street thug? (12). Yes, superhero’s have vulnerabilities within their character, but characters of all genres display tremendous acts of heroism, often overlooked to be considered heroic.

Captain America is not like the average superhero. Captain America, or his alter ego Steve Rogers, was a frail young man who was chosen by scientist Abraham Erskine to be tested with his experimental serum. That experimental serum made Rogers from a weak, bony young man to being to the peak of human perfection. Right after that, a Nazi spy appeared and shot Erskine, killing him. “In order to keep Nazi spies from obtaining the serum, Erskine hadn't written down the serum's ingredients, along with much of the procedure, having instead committed it to memory.” (Comic Vine) Rogers was the only super soldier manifested. Given a patriotic costume and a shield that not only is nearly indestructable but is used as a weapon, Captain America was born.
