[@cgi2002]

@Joseph Douek because it makes doom's version of hell look like a nice peaceful wander through a summer meadow. In Doomguys hell is there a planet were time repeats itself, just so a battle can go on for eternity, there is in the warp. Or places were randomly your innards are now on the outside, but your still perfectly alive. Or places were the air you breathe in suddenly is made of glass or sand, or the ears of mice because a demon thought it would be funny. Or properly immortal enemies, including several which if you kill them, you become them. Hell in the doom verse is just another reality, following a fixed set of rules & laws with no "gods" with unlimited and complete control over it. Hell itself can't corrupt you and twist you into a creature of evil/chaos, it requires active intervention to do anything like that. The warp has only 1 rule, anything can and will happen. It has atleast 4 very twisted and all powerful deities that can change and do anything they want, at any time, including but not limited to messing with time itself. However the warp itself however doesn't need these gods to mess with you, the warp itself can and will twist and corrupt those who enter it, or are linked to it, making some evil, making some mutate, and randomly making some stay the same or even become paragons of light. Simply put, to beat hell, you just need superior force. To beat the warp, you need to kill the entire universe so that it doesn't exist anymore, as its created and sustained by all living beings with a presence in it, and the 40k universe is hard to kill, they are if anything prepared for a fight.

[@Khornecussion]

@@r5509 Master Chief still pales in comparison to Astartes. Take Master Chief, give him the same steroids they gave him for the Spartan program, but times ten? Closer to an astartes. Plus give him literal armor under the skin, better eyes, the ability to spit acid, his body to fight most toxins and poisons like it's a common cold and if you're too wounded in battle, your body will feign death and put you in a coma where it regulates your body heat through a thin gel substance on your skin that also keeps the local wildlife from trying to snack on your " corpse ". ... Master Chief just drops dead if too wounded and a plasma burn can drop him if in the right spot. An Astartes needs to be struck with anti-vehicle weaponry and specially built rifles intended for Astartes vs. GIANT SPACE DAEMON COMBAT. Not sure Master Chief holds a candle to that. Doom Guy maybe, but as much as I love Master Chief, even I can look at things logically. Doom Guy beats Master Chief and an astartes with maybe three or four missions under his belt is a " Doom Guy " essentially after what they go through. Usually years of war and witnessing people melting from plagues, daemons that bring disease, their own brothers in arms being consumed by a special daemon made plague called warp rot that turns them into Plague Marines... I think Astartes take the blood soaked cake, personally.

Another intense super soldier program was Manticore from the Dark Angel TV series. These super soldiers were bred with advanced genetic engineering and gene splicing from the DNA of certain animals. For example, a soldier intended for desert warfare would have the DNA of desert reptiles. However, Manticore was brought down by a team of super soldiers that had escaped from the Manticore facility years earlier, including the main protagonist of the series, Max Guevera. This led to the escape of dozens of experimental super soldier prototypes into an unsuspecting world.

Super soldiers from various franchises, all leading up to 40K's Astartes, and as usual 40K just has to be... well... 40K about it all. In a setting where more is most definitely more - more ridiculous trials of strength and 'purity', more extreme augmentation, higher procedure failure rate, more excessively gruesome medical procedures, more powerful weapons (Bullets? Bullets are just so pre-Imperial. Now, rocket propelled, mass reactive, armour piercing explosive warheads? That is more like it...), more high tech powered armour that is also sort of like medieval full plate armour crossed with a main battle tank, more delusional fanaticism and merciless ruthlessness.... ... And then the Astartes gets eaten by a giant killer space bug - the 40K cycle of life.

@@brandonforrester9729 And then a crippled warship falls out of high orbit and wipes out all life within a 100 mile radius. The survivors have no means of contacting the Imperium, but that's ok because they don't need to be redeployed- there's now a daemonic incursion to keep them occupied. Loyalist settlements form around the few remaining salvaged Gellarfield generators and while waging war in the desolate and irradiated and warp tainted wasteland is important, it's just as dangerous and important to go scavenging for materials and gear. Generations pass because the Imperium is too busy to check on you. The Daemonic incursion has been mostly stopped, but now only folklore tells of the way things once were through the lens of religious zealotry. There's probably one surviving wandering Custodes still looking for a means to salvage a way off planet. He is regarded as a wandering demigod. Everyone believes that the ghosts, daemons and other strange things are kept out of their settlements because they are consecrated holy sites, not realizing that the aging and salvaged Gellar fields which provide their safety could falter and leave them vulnerable at any time. Then some filthy xenos show up and you need to contend with them...

Actually it had 300 to start, then axed to 150 due to budget and complication reasons. Then of those 150 75 were finally chosed (some were rejected for deformities, some were left out because of how hard it would be to get them out, others were quite literally never found, vanished seemingly into thin air). Of those 75, 33 survived the augmentation, with an unknown number of washouts being rehabilitated and deployed to the field.

Doesn't really do the Astartes recruitment process justice. After all, there are the other joys of the process. Starting with a lot of the surgical procedures being performed in conditions that would appall a medieval plague doctor (gotta make sure the candidate's newly boosted immune system is up to scratch) and the frequent lack of anaesthetic (pain is an illusion of the mind) before moving onto the Chapter's Librarians having a rummage through your psyche to make sure your soul isn't tainted in any way (no, they're not gentle about it), frequent brainwashing via hypnosis all the while coupled to a training regimen that can charitably be described as 'relentless'. This process takes about 6-8 years depending on the Chapter. The real clincher, however, goes to the Space Wolves with the Test of Morkai. Thanks to some Dark Age genetic shenanigans, Space Marine geneseed isn't quite compatible with the genetics of native Fenrisians. To get around this, the Wolves implant the first stage of the geneseed, then fly the candidate several hundred kilometres away from their base and drop them into the snow covered wastes surrounding said base. All the candidate has to do to pass is get back to the base. No, they don't get any equipment beyond a loincloth. Yes, the environment is mostly polar tundra. And the continent is crawling with predators that include 'wolves' measuring 6 feet at the shoulder. And that not-quite-compatible geneseed I mentioned? There's a small but significant chance of it turning the candidate into what is basically a werewolf - something that the candidate is expected to hold in check by sheer force of will. If the candidate gets back, they get the next stage of the implants which stabilises things somewhat. If they don't get back...well, it's no major loss and it makes things more interesting for the next batch. It should not be a surprise that the success rate of Astartes induction is normally quoted as being about 1%.

[@weldonwin]

Ironically, the Space Wolves Canis Helix might not be quite compatible with the people of Fenris, but they are the only people in the whole galaxy that it is AT ALL compatible with

[@weaseal]

There are no wolves on Fenris...

[@garygcrook]

You forget, many Chapters put would be recruits through a gruelling process that "weeds-out" a lot of them before they're even considered for selection. And the actual process includes more trials, some of which are really weird. Like the feast that tests the Omophagea, the Gene-Seed Organ that allows the Astartes to absorb genetic material from whatever they eat and process it for Genetic Memory. Some Chapters like to sneak in meat from humans into the feast. As for the Rite Of Morkai, I thought Space Wolf Aspirants only got a dose of the Canis Helix before they went on it?

[@Yuzral]

@@garygcrook It's possible - the lore on this has gone back and forth over the last 30 years. Maybe the "Canis Helix" is the first stage of implantation for Space Wolves and only works on Fenrisians precisely because it's needed to make the Fenrisian tinkering work with the rest of the Astartes mods?

Some other super soldier transformations that I can note: Skulls Parasite Unit from MGSV. The Skulls were members of XOF who were given a new species of parasites that turned them into a perfect killing machine but with the side effect of losing their cognitive functions and basically becoming zombies. They have heightened senses, super strength, and teleportation to name a few. Cyber Newtypes from The Gundam Universal Century timeline and the After War timeline. CNs are an artificial form of a new sub race of humans called "newtypes" ,which are humans that have telepathic powers. The process of creating Cyber Newtypes is still unknown in the Gundam canon but it is known that they are given organ transplants and chemicals that heighten their reaction speed and other physical/mental capabilities. They are also subjected to hypnotic conditioning that alters their personality and memories but with the side effect of rendering them mentally unstable with even the possibility of personality disorders. All this turns them into the perfect mecha pilots despite being a bit screwed in the head. Imperial Assassins from W40k. A bunch of people who were shown to having promising mental and physical capabilities who are then all stuffed inside a ship and forced to fight in a battle royale for survival until their ship arrives at their designated training facility. All the survivors are then given mental conditioning that deletes their memories and personalities and turn them into viscious killers. They are each then sent to one of seven Assassin temples that best suits their abilities to train and become Imperial Assassins. Psycho System Pilots from the Gundam Universal Century timeline. Pilots of the Psycho system are forced to have their limbs cut off and replaced with a cybernetic adapter that connects their nervous system to Mobile Suits that were built for the Psycho system. This in turn makes more natural movement and better reaction speed from their mechs.

[@lilgnida]

A little note: Space marines don't get bone implants, they have a special organ that makes the bones grow faster and larger (it also makes their ribs flatten, overlap and eventually connect into one whole piece) and it hardens their bones natyrally via the excessive amount of minerals, including silicon, that they consume from their food.

I'm not a big Rock fan, but the Rock probably doesn't need a lot of steroids. He's 1/2 Samoan.

[@lincolnpascual]

He doesn't use steroids. Dude doesn't know what he's talking about at ALL. It's clearly evident in his own physique (sloping shoulders, terrible posture, barely hidden paunch) that he barely puts in work, if any at all, at the gym. The Rock has been completely open about his workout regiment and diet. I wrote a comment going into more detail about this already, but the TLDR is he eats enough food to feed a small country per week (exagerration but not by much), works out intensely and intelligently 5 times a day, 5 days a week, and has millions of dollars to support his physique (something the average person simply can't afford to do). Him being half black half samoan also contributes to his size since he has great genetics.

[@semperrabbit05]

@Generation Films, you forgot about the SOR from Deathworlders on r/HFY. It's a pretty intense process, where they take a drug called "CRUE-D," where they get intense healing capabilities, and they just push themselves in the gym harder than anyone else could go, including supergravity and massively higher weights. instead of traditional gym exercises, where going too hard will tear muscles to the point of not being able to use them, with CRUE-D, they heal stronger than before, causing them to grow increasingly larger, and massing much higher than any other humans in the universe.

[@eviljoshy3402]

I was worried the space marines weren't on this list until it got to the end. I think one of the more gruesome augments they get is when they literally skin them alive to apply the black carapace that acts like a nervous system and connects to their armor.

I vote for the soldiers from Old Man's War by John Scaizi . The story starts when, John Perry, a 75-year-old retired advertising writer, joins the Colonial Defense Forces who protect human interplanetary colonists. Volunteers sign letters of intent and provide DNA samples at age 65, which John and his now deceased wife Kathy had done ten years prior to the beginning of the story. After visiting his wife's grave to say goodbye (as volunteers can never return to Earth), Following a series of sometimes bizarre psychological and physical tests, Perry's mind is ultimately transferred to a new body based on his genetic material. His new body is a younger version of himself, but genetically engineered with enhanced musculature, green skin, and yellow cat-like eyes. He now possesses enormous strength and dexterity, nanobot-enhanced artificialblood, enhanced eyesight and other senses, and most critically, a BrainPal-a neural interface that, among other capabilities,stores and processes mission data,links to the soldiers weapons and allows Perry to communicate with other members of the CDF via thought. (From Wikipedia.) Not a direct transformation of the original body but of the new body.

Warframes- (spoilers) Adults and their Children are put in a space ship that flies through an area of space called the void, which has properties that are pretty much magic. Doing so gave the children to gain incredible powers but drove the adults insane. So the children killed their parents and were left trapped on a ship alone, until they were found by their civilization and put into pods that allowed them to control drones (made o people) that harness their magical void powers to use a variety of powers such as fireballs energy swords, laser shooting disco balls, etc. They also gought in a war against space terminators and were eventually put into cryostasis, and forgot that they were children

You've dealt here primarily with one of two basic ideas. Here the idea is that the beings involved are modified themselves. The other idea is that the beings involved are put inside of suits that have enhanced capabilities. Though in some cases you have both. The problem with modifying the beings involved - except for the Urak-hai (which would seem to be able to be mass produced) - the beings themselves tended to go through a process that would limit their numbers. Here - the length of the process would prevent the program from keeping up with losses. If the emphasis is placed on the suits (as in Heinlein's book Starship Troopers) you can mass produce the suits and give the people being put in them training that while extensive wouldn't take long enough to prevent you from being able to replace your losses - and in fact - wouldn't stop you from increasing their numbers. .

It's interesting that Spartan 2's are essentially a more primitive version of Space Marines. I wonder if they were simply a copy or convergent 'evolution' so to speak.

[@swaghauler8334]

You missed the soldiers from the movie SOLDIER. The newest batch soldiers were made "invitro" (test tube babies) using recumbent DNA, while the previous generations were selected at birth using extreme genetic profiling. For someone who was tagged "obsolete," SGT Todd was pretty bad-assed. For a "B-roll sci-fi movie," SOLDIER was pretty good!

Bonus points for, of course, stating that Warhammer 40k Space Marines are THE ultimate, enhanced super soldiers. Obviously the (*cough* cash- grab) Primaris Space Marines are the ultimate version (Grey Knights nonwithstanding) but minus points for referring to their organisation as the "Empire", rather than the "Imperium (of Man)".
