A super soldier (or supersoldier) is a concept soldier capable of operating beyond normal human abilities.[citation needed]

Fiction

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.

The first supersoldier depicted in fiction was Captain America, who debuted in 1941.[1]
