supersoldier theme
There is a soldier capable of operating beyond normal human limits or abilities. This is typically achieved by augmenting an ordinary person, either through surgical means, eugenics, genetic engineering, cybernetic implants, drugs, brainwashing, traumatic events, an extreme training regimen or other scientific and pseudoscientific means.
Examples
In "X-men Origins: Wolverine" (2009), Major Stryker led a clandestine research program the goal of which was to enhance the abilities of natural mutants, turning them into elite soldiers.
