Star Soldier

## **Powers, Abilities, Equipment, and Weaknesses**

### **Powers**

**Super Physiology:** Benjamin was born with no superhuman powers, but as a result of Compound V, he was transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and the first Super. The Compound V metabolized and permanently enhanced all of Morgan's bodily functions beyond the point of human efficiency, and is the most perfect super in existence**.**

* **Supernatural Strength:** Benjamin can raise thousands of pounds to tens of thousands of pounds. Being able to carry out any offensive action with the force of a massive vehicle. He can can lift cars, trucks, buses, moderate to large sized rocks, tall trees and are often beyond the physical limits of humans at their maximum. He can perform extremely powerful attacks and cause a lot of collateral damage such as destroying large bridges, buildings, and heavy vehicles.
* **Supernatural Speed:** Star Soldier can move faster than the peak members of their species, making it very difficult for one to be able to react to him. Due to this ability he's even outright immune to the side effects of moving at such speeds. These effects include, but are not limited to, g-force, inertia, intense heat build-up, massive kinetic energy build-up, etc. He is fast enough to outrun helicopters, motorcycles, and others vehicles within that range of speed. With his speed, he can move faster than the eye can see and avoid an opponent’s perception.
* **Supernatural Athleticism:** Ben can use this ability can go from one motion to another effortlessly, effectively dodge attacks, swing from things easily, sprint, do back-flips, leap across rooftops, and numerous other gymnastic, athletic and martial implements with little to no effort. He has both extremely well developed sense of balance, the positioning of limbs and the center of balance as well as the physical condition to use these facts. This combination makes him almost impossible to being knocked down/imbalanced, falling down and able to recover from momentary imbalances near instantly.
* **Supernatural Reflexes:** Star Soldier has drastically enhanced reaction speed, allowing him to dodge multiple bullets, catch flies in mid-air, dodge and maneuver around complex attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments and react instantaneously to what others take more time to react to like high speed projectiles e.g. sniper bullets as well as react to a being with superhuman speed. He can achieve complete and utter precision on close targets, with the activity in his brain center for precision drastically improved.
* **Supernatural Durability:** His bodily tissues are much harder due to being radiated organic matter instead of normal flesh and far more resistant to physical injury than the bodily tissues of a normal human. Benjamin is highly resistant to penetration wounds, even from high-caliber machine gun shells. He can also withstand tremendous impact forces such as falling from great heights, being repeatedly struck by superhumanly strong opponents or breaching planetary orbit and making re-entry without being hurt. Also showcasing high resistance to extreme changes in temperatures.
* **Supernatural Stamina:** Ben can endure physical stresses beyond the capabilities of the greatest humans, enabling him to do things such as: tolerate extreme amounts of physical pain, having limbs ripped off or having bones completely crushed, being corroded by acid, and even resisting extremely painful headaches for prolonged periods of time. He can also hold his breath for longer intervals, like 2-3 hours, and always remain calm through any stressful or painful situations. He can also tolerate extreme hunger, unbearable thirst and strong urges to sleep, being able stay active for 48 hours to 72 hours without food, water and sleep.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** He possesses; a physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional, and sexual health and condition beyond the max health of their species. He can rapidly heal and get restored to his optimal and full health/state at an extremely fast rate. He would be capable of healing minor amputations to the body, such as lost fingers, toes, ears and potentially reattaching lost limbs. He would be immune to damage done by any form of contaminants, diseases, and infections, including but not limited to strokes, Ischemic heart disease, sexual diseases, diabetes, cancers, radiation etc.
* **Supernatural Mind:** His mental abilities, capabilities and attributes are above ordinary members of his species, beyond what can be emulated via natural training and with little to no maintaining. This entails that he is more; intelligent, intuitive, creative, charismatic, instinctive, wiser, and have a higher brain capacity and deductive ability than all other members of his species. He is an extremely skilled strategic genius and apply this skill to several objectives, able to intuitively create strategies and plans several steps ahead of the opponent.
* **Supernatural Senses:** Ben has extremely accurate senses, allowing him to see, hear, smell, taste and feel better than the best member of his species. He can see thousands of miles away with immense resolution and see/track things too fast for the natural eye, hear through dense walls perfectly and listen to the smallest vibrations/noises from extremely far away places, smell anything over vast distances up to and including individual molecules/atoms, taste the smallest details to the extent of distinguishing at a molecular level, and feel the slightest vibration in the air, ground and water.
* **Decelerated Aging:** He has enhanced life energy, which may augment his physical capabilities, grant enhanced stamina, enhanced health and regeneration abilities. Which gives him an extended lifespan, allowing him to live longer than a normal human; He can age slower than normal members of him species due to having extremely healthy cells extending their lifespan. He could live up to decades with no signs of aging since this ability is at peak human level. Also, his power would activate when his young-adult years, and he look twenty-years to even a hundred times younger.
* **Bio-Radiation Manipulation**
	+ **Radiation Attacks:** After gaining the power of a nuclear reactor, Star Soldier now possesses the ability to fire tremendously powerful blasts of radiation-infused energy from his upper torso. He can release the energy as a forward-facing beam which lasts several seconds before his energy is depleted. He often scythes the beam by changing his direction as the beam discharges, creating a wedge-shaped or omnidirectional wave of destruction. It appears that Soldier Boy's ability to produce radioactive beams of energy is powerful enough to burn the entirety of Compound V from the bloodstream of a Supe, effectively killing them or turning them back into normal human beings.
	+ **Radiation Empowerment:**

### **Equipment**

**Shield**: Star Soldier wields a brass, golden-colored triangular shield in the shape of the Vought American logo as his main weapon of choice. He usually uses it to bash his enemies and block attacks. The shield has great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. It's great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enables it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is virtually indestructible: it is resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation.

**Combat Knife**: Benjamin carries an eagle headed combat knife on his right hip. It can be used as both a melee weapon and as a throwing-knife.

**M1911**: The pistol Star Soldier carried while hunting Manbot was an M1911. It was the standard issue sidearm for American military personnel until the adoption of the Beretta 9mm pistol in 1985.

**M1 Submachine Gun**: Star Soldier has been depicted wielding a M1-variant Thompson submachine gun on a commemorative statue of his likeness, hailing back to his glory days in World War II.

### **Weaknesses**

* **Radiation Detection Equipment**: After gaining the power to create blasts of radioactive energy, Benjamin's body now constantly emits high levels of radiation. Because of this, it is possible to detect him by using radiation detectors, a good example being a Geiger counter.
* **Requires Time to Build Up Energy for Discharges**: It can take considerable time for Star Soldier to generate sufficient energy to discharge his radiation-infused energy blasts.
* **Blunt Force:** Though almost invulnerable, beings of equal or greater strength, namely Captain Honor, can physically harm and likely kill him.

## **Trivia**

* He is based on Captain Atom (DC Comics) & Captain America (Marvel Comics)
* He is the first superhuman
* He is the advocate for cannabis usage
