So I know I just generally post random shit that interests me...
But like I've had an idea for a while now so I’m just gonna scream it out into the void. Fair Waring with will be long I will try to insert one of those cut things some where but I do not have much hope that it will work, I am a tumbler baby.
It involves the idea of super soldiers, you know the ones that populate the Marvel universe. Which is honestly a cool idea except... there not really soldiers are they? Like they don’t follow orders worth a damn, there only like one of them and they NEVER EVER really work fully integrated with the wide military complex. and if they are, such as Captain America and his group they are organized with one super solider as the nucleolus for a unit composed of normal people, or more likely riff raff. they also go off on there own all the damn time because they can.
Also... wouldn't gaining super powers after like the age of 5 or 8 be super fucking traumatic and super hard to learn to deal with? Like seriously imagine going through your life, you have basically trained in gross and fine motor movement to suit your capacities and need your entire life and suddenly every limit you ever had sky rockets. YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROPER:Y GAUGE THE AMOUNT OF HAND STRENGTH YOU WOULD NEED TO PICK UP FRUIT.
seriously imagine going from skinny Steve rogers to CAPTAIN FRICKEN AMERICA. like you can breath now which will make a everything that easier but that pickle jar you used to have to reef on to open? yeah that’s gonna shatter in your hands now. not to mention,,, the people who get crazy strange super powers later in life.
Imagine one day waking up shooting mother trucking lightening! that would be horrifying and you probably cant control or modulate it worth a damn because that was not something that had to deal with. I don’t know about you guys but I have issues walking with out falling on my face some days and I have done that literally every day since I was a toddler. Learning a new skill like that or just the amount of control needed would be awful.
I though puberty growth spurts were bad, imagine gaining super powers.
So if they had super powers from birth... that issues would not exist and the complex that made you could reasonably be in charge of your socialization and your teamwork abilities, because if your gonna be desperate enough to make a super solider you may as well make it useful. (Like don’t get me wrong here guys I’m not arguing that any of this would be moral... i think the process of raising these super soldiers would be awful... but it would produce and actual super solider. one that would know how to use its powers, how to follow orders and how to work in a wider group to complete objectives.) Also you have there entire development to see if the super powers ( here im assuming that they used genetic manipulation to give them powers)
