A super soldier is a soldier artificially enhanced to be stronger, faster and more super, and there are plenty of methods for making one. These mostly turn out to be on the ethically dicey side, however, so for the next time you need to build a super soldier, avoid the sketchy schemes outlined above and subscribe to Outside Xbox: http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
The Spartan II program that gave us Halo's hulking Master Chief, for instance, involved kidnapping young recruits for a military program that killed or maimed half its subjects with radical, experimental augmentation procedures.
Armacham Technology Corporation from survival horror shooter FEAR, meanwhile, could give Resident Evil's Umbrella Corporation a run for its money in the field of ethically murky military R&D.
However many freaky bioweapons Umbrella created and failed to keep under control, Umbrella never put a little girl in a coma, locked her in a vault, and eventually impregnated her with clone embryos to breed psychic super soldiers, that we know of.
Is that better or worse than a soldier mentally disturbed in childhood by the horrors of war then stuffed into an animal-themed super suit? This is the question neglected by private military outfit Outer Heaven when it created the Beauty and the Beast Unit for Metal Gear Solid 4.
This super squad was formed by taking four girls with debilitating post-traumatic stress and turning them into a squad of violently unpredictable supermodels dressed as cyborg animals. We'd say you can't argue with the results, but then all four utterly fail to complete their mission of destroying Solid Snake. Back to the drawing board, Liquid Ocelot.
At least you didn't condition a teenage girl to be a living weapon who would eventually go on a roaring rampage of cutscene revenge, a la the ICA scientists of Hitman Absolution, or inject a fetus with Jenova cells and create Aeris-murdering ultra-villain Sephiroth, like the geniuses at Shinra Electric Power Company, hey.
