* ''Acid Rain World'' is Hong Kong-based toyline set in a dystopic future world war. Among the factions are the Omangans, who are an imperialistic European monarchy. Omangan military assets include the Reborn Troopers. They are genetically enhanced and then given extensive bionic modification (like being permanently fused to their heavy armor) and only 10% of those subjected to this program survive. In the mobile game, the info entry for them even gives a ShoutOut to some more famous supersoldiers "Think of those [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 marines of the space variety]] and you won't be far off the mark for describing these fellas."

** Babel is the MegaCorp that's the most advanced faction of Acid Rain World. Protecting the Babel towers are the Uriel, an [[BadassArmy entire army of super soldiers]]. Babel has taken exceptional individuals, mindwiped and then bionically augmented them before outfitting them with state of the art armor and advanced [[RayGun particle beam]] weaponry. The commanders of the Uriel are known as Archons and many ordinary people and tribals fear the Archons as demigods because of how easily they defeat would-be invaders.

catch, that being [[spoiler:Lex Luthor holding the "off" button for all of the powers of the Everymen]].

* ''TabletopGame/MechanicalDream'', four races are essentially all super soldiers and in the racial hierarchy they occupy the top places with the Zins being at the top and the second place is a 3-way tie by the Soleks, the Yakis and the Volkoi while all the other races fall below. The Soleks and Yakis are both nomadic tribes and their journeys into the outside DeathWorld made them both strong and granted them special abilities, the Soleks are immune to psychic attack or influence while the Yakis shortly after birth are given a ClingyCostume, {{Biotech}} Power Armour made from the individual's placenta (Yakis born outside of the tribe or had their armour destroyed are shunned as being permanently weak with no armour), so both tribes are hired en masse as elite forces by the cities of the Core. The Volkoi and the Zin are both created species (the Zin were created by the Frilin to be their soldiers while the Volkoi were commissioned by the pre-Core Empress after learning of an invading force). The Volkoi are blessed with superhuman strength, a prehensile tail useful for combat, and an adrenaline rush that makes them even mightier. The Zin have borderline superhuman stats, immunity to ageing and are fused with a supernatural creature that lets them transorm into the true form of what possesses them.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': One of the key events in the series' {{Backstory}} is the Titan War, a particularly brutal conflict that ended about ten years before the series begins. During the war, both sides engaged in many [[PlayingWithSyringes unethical experiments]], including ones with super soldiers; most of these ended horrifically for both the test subjects and the experimenters. One of the test subjects to survive these was Tongpu (codenamed Mad Pierrot), who came out of the process as a sociopathic walking arsenal [[PsychopathicManchild with the mind of a child]]. One of the few opponents AntiHero Spike Spiegel actually feared, he eventually was incapacitated with one of his own weapons, at which point he broke down crying and begging for his mother until he was finally destroyed.

** Eighth Edition introduces the '''Primaris Marines''', the culmination of 10,000 years of research to make even better Space Marines. The brainchild of Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, the Primaris Marines are equipped with Mark X Tacticus Armour, which takes the best features of previous Space Marine PoweredArmor designs, the Mark II Cawl-pattern Bolt rifle as their standard firearm which is basically an improved version of the iconic Bolter, and they have even had their gene-seed modified with parts of the same process that creates the Custodes. The gene-seed modification is the most controversial aspect of the Primaris Marines, since many in the Imperium believe the Emperor's work should not have been touched.

** Space Marines (Imperium of Man): Fanatically dedicated, comprehensively superhuman, bio-engineered giants selected through decades of religious indoctrination and a form of TheSpartanWay that only one of a hundred (or thousand, depending on the source material) aspirants even ''survive'', who carry weapons firing fully automatic armor-piercing explosive-tipped rocket-boosted ammunition as their basic gun[[note]]Boltguns are NOT rocket launchers[[/note]], are strong enough to rip a man (or a cow) apart and can survive having a tank dropped on them. They are made by implanting a young male human with bioengineered organs that radically alters their development on top of giving them superhuman capabilities; this includes a second heart, a third lung, a second stomach, an organ that causes bones to coat in naturally occurring ceramite and fuses the rib cage that is solidified into one large chunk of bone, can spit acid, and a tremendously enhanced sensory apparatus. On top of their high intelligence they also have the ability to eat the brains of enemies to incorporate their knowledge. They are also "hypno-indoctrinated" to make them fanatically loyal and to give them a very narrow focus, so that all they think about is war and how to do it better, and possibly to impart knowledge on how to do just that. [[DependingOnTheAuthor Depending on who you ask]], they may also get genetic enhancements on top of their bodies being reworked from the ground up. Some chapters's have had the genome of their bioaugmentations corrupted for some reason or another, in some cases losing out on some abilities, but just as often it gives them something like giving them razor sharp bone spurs or perfect recall. Whatever the case, every Marine has muscles so thick that they are immune to any weapon smaller than a 9mm handgun, they can breathe water, they are immune to most diseases, and they require only four hours of sleep though they can go days on end without it. If they are not killed, they will live forever, with the oldest existing one having lived over a millennium being generally no worse for wear aside from WhoWantsToLiveForever biting at him a bit. And Chaos Marines are ''even deadlier'', possessing thousands of years of combat experience over their loyalist brethren as well as various boons and mutations granted to them by the Chaos gods to make them even stronger, tougher, faster or give them whole new abilities altogether.

** Officio Assassinorum Operatives are expected to be able to ''cross entire starsystems'' on their own. While a Squad of Space Marines can figuratively take over a planet, this is usually acknowledged to be a figurative speech, as the marines would be supported by, at the very least, their own air force. The Assassins themselves must not only know how to forage for food on alien worlds, but survive in them and find a way off of them, which includes up to hijacking entire starships. The only field assassin that (presumably) does not have to do this is the Eversor, whose physical biology is so messed up by the combat stimms that he must be kept in stasis between assignments or his body will collapse (and explode).

They are also "hypno-indoctrinated" to make them fanatically loyal and to give them a very narrow focus, so that all they think about is war and how to do it better, and possibly to impart knowledge on how to do just that. [[DependingOnTheAuthor Depending on who you ask]], they may also get genetic enhancements on top of their bodies being reworked from the ground up. Some chapters's have had the genome of their bioaugmentations corrupted for some reason or another, in some cases losing out on some abilities, but just as often it gives them something like giving them razor sharp bone spurs or perfect recall. Whatever the case, every Marine has muscles so thick that they are immune to any weapon smaller than a 9mm handgun, they can breathe water, they are immune to most diseases, and they require only four hours of sleep though they can go days on end without it. If they are not killed, they will live forever, with the oldest existing one having lived over a millennium being generally no worse for wear aside from WhoWantsToLiveForever biting at him a bit. And Chaos Marines are ''even deadlier'', possessing thousands of years of combat experience over their loyalist brethren as well as various boons and mutations granted to them by the Chaos gods to make them even stronger, tougher, faster or give them whole new abilities altogether.

* In the manga ''LightNovel/{{Kieli}}'', the main character Harvey is an 'Undying', an undead soldier that was created from the corpse of a soldier who had died in combat. Upon being reanimated, the Undying are nigh-unstoppable. They don't have any more strength or speed than a regular human, but they aren't affected by pain (although they still feel it), they don't age, do not need nourishment or sleep, and they can take nearly any amount of damage and keep going. Harvey, at one point, had half of his head blown off, along with one leg and an arm. Though it took months, he recovered. The only way to kill an Undying is by ripping its 'core' out of its chest, as the core is what gives them animation. After the war, the Church (who originally created the Undying to win the world war they were fighting) began to hunt them down and slaughter them mercilessly, offering a massive bounty for anyone who located or killed an Undying. Despite being technically dead, the Undying still have the same emotional capacity and personality that they did when they were alive, so the scant few who escaped the Church's massacre went on the run. At the beginning of the story, Harvey has been avoiding the Church for eighty years and counting.

** The [[DimensionalTraveler Otherworlders]] are often sought after by various human kingdoms to serve as this. In this world, humans on average lack access to magic or skills, and in order to harness it one must either be born with the aptitude or risk one's life living in [[{{Mana}} Magicule]]-rich environments in order to passively absorb them and gain the ability to wield them as high levels of environmental Magicules are ''toxic'' to life that isn't adapted to it. Otherworlders, on the other hand, acquire a massive amount of magicules from the process of crossing the dimensional plane to this world and have plenty of natural talent at harnessing magic and Skills as a result. "[[SummonEverymanHero Summons]]" are often the result of attempting this, but not every Otherworlder develops the combat Skills (or even possesses the fighting mindset) wanted. Plus, [[ChildSoldiers child Otherworlders]] often don't develop the Skills to channel their Magicule supplies ''at all'', and as a result their underdeveloped bodies can't handle their power and they die young.
** The Holy Empire of Ruberios and the Western Saints Church has their paladins, considered the elite of their military. Each one is trained rigorously to master the combat arts, given high-tier weaponry and equipment, and are often trained in various magics such as Elemental, Summons, and/or Holy depending on their strengths. Even the average paladin is on record as being called worth ''1000'' normal human soldiers. The strongest paladins are ranked among the Ten Great Saints, each being at least an Enlightened/Sage, and their leader is Hinata Sakaguchi, a Saint who mastered all the combat arts and magics taught to her, wields Legendary-class weapons and armaments that allow her to temporarily stand up against True Demon Lord-level threats, and is considered by almost everyone who knows of her as the strongest human outside of the Eastern Empire.
** [[TheEmpire The Eastern Empire]] boasts a total military strength of 2.1 million soldiers, which quantity-wise is by ''far'' the largest army in the world. As this is a world where HumansAreAverage and monsters capable of destroying entire towns or [[OneManArmy single-handedly slaughter an army of normal humans]] are ''frighteningly'' commonplace, they've also taken the time to shore up their troops quality-wise.
*** The Armored Division, the main division of the army, has subjected its members to magical modifications that allow them to survive a full week without eating or drinking alongside increasing their physical parameters. They're also equipped with the latest of [[GivingRadioToTheRomans Otherworlder technology]], including firearms, tanks, and airships. Rimuru actually noted that these augumentations along with the technology level makes them superior to a first-world modern army.
*** The Magic Beasts Division has utilized and weaponized DNA analysis technology to create and breed powerful Demonic Beasts that are ridden by warriors carefully screened and trained for the job. [[spoiler:They've also developed a special secret drug that would in theory allow the rider and beast to perform a FusionDance to become a MonsterKnight of even greater power, but [[SuperPowerRussianRoulette the potential risks of death, insanity, and/or permanent monster transformation]] mean it's only meant as a last resort.]]
*** The Composite Division are technically the RagTagBunchOfMisfits of the army, where the fighters too uncontrollable were placed. The reason they're so "uncontrollable" is because most of them are [[TrappedInAnotherWorld Otherworlders]] blessed with unique sets of skills and physical/magical abilities that makes it too awkward to organize them as a proper disciplined military force. This is also the place where human experimentation to produce more powerful soldiers was carried out, resulting in the creation of unique "human weapons" that remained under the banner.
*** And finally there's the Imperial Guard, the 100 chosen warriors of TheEmperor. Together, they're considered worth the other three corps ''combined'', as each fighter is at least the level of an Enlightened/Sage and equipped with Legendary-class equipment (which according to [[TheHero Rimuru]], comparing such a weapon to a "normal" weapon is like "bringing a machinegun to a sword fight"). The single digits are even stronger, having all the advantages of the double digits at bare minimum combined with receiving [[SuperEmpowering a blessing from the Emperor]] that grants them a pseudo-Ultimate Skill, making them borderline {{Reality Warper}}s. The top six in particular are at the level of Saints and wielding the even stronger Mythical/God-class equipment and capable of matching up against ''[[MaouTheDemonKing True Demon Lord]]'' level foes. The top two were even capable of matching blows with [[spoiler:two of the seven Primordial Demons, one of which is powerful enough to ''destroy the planet''.]]

* In the Creator/JetLi film, ''Film/BlackMask''; the operators of Squad 701 are this. The 701s were created by the Chinese government in order to deal with the escalating crime rate caused by gang violence and drug distribution. The 701s were selected from elite military units, and subjected to a procedure known as a neurorectomy, in which they injected a chemical solution into their brain stems, chemically deadening the part of their brains responsible for pain, exhaustion and fatigue. Because of this, the 701s [[FeelNoPain no longer feel pain]] to a large extent, nor are they affected by exhaustion and fatigue. This [[UninhibitedMusclePower removes the psychological limitations on the human body]], allowing for them to push themselves harder then the average soldier. They were able to hit with enough force to break through concrete, fast enough to outrun automatic gunfire and dodge it and perform other incredible physical feats.
** The downside to this process is that it left the 701s impaired to physical trauma and wear and tear from overexertion, meaning that it was very possible for the 701s to die from internal bleeding caused by their superhuman performance. Another downside to this process was that it left the 701s with impaired judgment and morality. Major troubles for the 701s started when one of their own went berserk and killed a bunch of police officers in the process. After this incident, the government terminated the project and had most of the 701s killed, with only a handful escaping and surviving out in Hong Kong. TheProtagonist of the movie is a 701 attempting to lead a normal life, but is called back into action when his fellow 701s begin taking down gangs all over Hong Kong and begin to cause trouble for the police.
* In ''Film/TheBourneSeries'' it is hinted at that the operatives in Treadstone and Blackbriar, including Jason Bourne, had some form of enhancements beyond simple TrainingFromHell. While they don't do anything quite superhuman they have an unreasonable amount of stamina, [[FeelNoPain pain tolerance]] and [[HyperAwareness mental acuity]] to the point you know they aren't quite normal. The fourth film, ''Film/TheBourneLegacy'', actually has it as part of its plot. The operatives regularly take specific pills that increase muscle density, give them a mild HealingFactor and sharpen their minds. When cut off from that supply they suffer withdrawal and are threatened with being reverted to "normal" without them. It is later revealed that the newer iterations of the Outcome operatives, the LARX operatives, had these improved traits and abilities made into permanent parts of their physiology via [[BioAugmentation retroviral gene therapy]].
