Default Looking for an idiom

In Russian, Ukrainian, or Belarusian, most likely. I'm playing in a Weird WWII campaign, with British characters who have ended up in Stalingrad, shortly before the Germans get there.

It being Weird WWII, the Germans have an unusual kind of special forces. They use a weird variety of technomagic, which comes in remotely powered backpacks. These give the user amplified strength and DR (about DR20) when switched on, and allow them to fly via mental commands to the device. The visual effects are that the user looks bigger and stronger and more "Aryan", and glows with golden light.

The name we cynical Brits are using for them is "Golden Boys", which may require some amplification. The usual meaning is only semi-sarcastic, used of an individual who is destined for fame, achievement and/or power by virtue of both talent and circumstance; we're using it a lot more sarcastically.

But if anyone has a guess what the Russians (or Ukrainians, or Belorussians) might call them, with a translation back into English, I'd really like to know.

Thanks in advance.
