10 Marvel Super Serum Soldiers

Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
You’re only as good as the army that you have and an army is only as good as the soldiers in it, so the saying goes. While this is a warning for generals not to forget soldiers in lieu of weapons, for comic book armies and the super scientists that work for them, it’s a challenge. What if the soldiers were enhanced, then the army could be really good. The best way to do that? Training, sure. Attention to their health, okay. But why not just put a big old science finger on that scale and amp up what is humanly possible. Enter the supersoldier. After a lot of false starts there was one big shining red white and blue success story in the form of one Steve Rogers, Captain America. Unfortunately before anyone was able to repeat that success the formula was destroyed, starting a decades long search to replicate that formula with a mixed bag of results. From Captain America’s old sidekick Bucky becoming the Winter Soldier who would then train other super soldiers like the Black Widow, to characters from alternate universes whose programs create super non-soldiers like Spider-man and super bad guys like Green Goblin or Abomination. Taking people who are already kind of super by birth, known as Mutants in the Marvel Universe, have had equally mixed results creating Wolverine and Deadpool. Let’s take a look at the search for the supersoldier and some of the successes and failures along the way.
