A group of Biologically augmented soldiers from a previous generation of the program. Their augmentation isn't as advanced as the PC's, but it did include a dramatic life extending serum that's allowed the Super Soldiers to remain in top fighting shape for longer then the PC's have been alive. So they're far more experienced and skill to make up the difference.


Questions that need answering
  • Why have they gone rogue?
  • Why isn't the program using this method any more?


Maybe the program is morally ambiguous if not strait up evil and the Super Soldiers are true patriots who went rogue to write their previous wrongs. In this scenario the formula involved secret nazi methods to produce the chemicals that we still can't replicate so the only super soldiers are from the first batch created just after WWII.

Or perhaps the method isn't used because it produces mental instability in it's subjects and the Super soldiers are Vietnam Vets who've gone rogue do to a combination of PTSD, regret and paranoia from their actions in the war and the side effects of the treatment.

Also you could even use both these examples in the same game. The program managed to replicate the formula, but with an additional side effect that caused mental instability. The WWII vets go rogue when they found out the program knew about the flaw in the formula and still when through with it to produce soldier to fight the Russians in the event the Cold War heated up.
