So i seen a obscure trope of sorts. i want to see if it can be created and highlighted: Grounded Posthumans. Or something along those lines. Imagine someone who has been genetically or cybernetically modified or engineered. But the catch is...They are still "mortal", they may or may not have above human like reactions, but they are still vulnerable to bullets. They are still easy or roughly easy to beat like any any mortal soldier. They are just a bit the above best of the best soldiers. From what three examples i know, they also don't have power armor. I believe there might be more like them out there. I will post my examples to see what you guys think:

Combine Soldiers from Half-Life 2, its episodes and Alyx

Death Troopers from new Star Wars canon.

Replica Soldiers from the F.E.A.R. games.

There is another one i know, but vaguely and may not even count. a friend of mine mentioned human forces from Game of Thrones called "Unsullied". Who could also count, as they were engineered in a crude way, to be the ultimate soldiers. But other than higher pain thresholds and having near superhuman morale, they seem to be humans still. Seem to be as vulnerable to harm as any of us. What do you guys think? i want to see this one grow, because i love that usually, "supersoldiers" are considered far beyond anything any human can be. What if they are just modified, but still within human limitations, if not as much? Tell me what you think.

That's something you should take to Trope Finder first. If such a trope for supersoldiers doesn't exist, take it to TLP and follow the guidelines.
