Super soldier
(Redirected from Super-soldier)
A super soldier (or supersoldier) is a concept soldier capable of operating beyond normal human abilities.[citation needed]
Fiction
[edit]Just as space travel is the archetypal sci-fi subject, so superheroes are the archetypal comic-book subject. The military subgenre of SF may be focused on space warfare, but its comic-book counterpart centres on the super-soldier.
