SUPER SOLDIER SERUM[]
The Super-Soldier Serum, also called the Super-Soldier Formula, is the name for a process to increase the physical attributes of its recipient to the peak of human potential as in almost superhuman. Peak Humans are superior to any Olympic level athletes who have ever competed. Top athletes normally have one or two aspects close to, or a bit under, peak level. While peak human enhancements have all their capabilities like mind, strength, speed, durability, healing, eye sight, immune system, aging etc.. at the maximum level of human potential. Dr. Reinstein established that this potential is the next step in human evolution for regular man (non-mutant), a man from the coming decades. Meaning one day humanity will reach this level on their own, in the far future. "Serum" is somewhat of a misnomer, as the "serum" actually consists of various processes. Characters that are considered by a enhancement true "Peak-Potential" are noted to be Captain America, Isaiah Bradley, Josiah X, Protocide, Union Jack (different SSS variant), and Black Panther (Wakanda-herb). Variations of the Super Soldier serum have been developed over the years which induced greater-mutations then Peak-Potential capabilites, one which even created the powerful Sentry. But the more powerful variants come with strange side-effects that may also include mental deficiencies. Those people who attempted to recreate the Super Soldier Serum had become something far more than an enhanced human and then became superheroes and supervillains.
A dose of original Super Soldier Serum is equivalent to a D12 Business, Military, or Medical resource. The original Super Soldier Serum has no Limit. There are many variants of the Super Soldier Serum missing or replacing certain parts of the original Erskine therapy. For each missing part step back the cost equivalent by –1 and add a Limit to Super Soldier Serum. For each additional power, or for each stepped-up power, step up the cost equivalent and add a Limit to Super Soldier Serum.
