#REBEL INC ESCALATION TVTROPES SERIES#
Cowboy Bebop: One of the key events in the series' Backstory is the Titan War, a particularly brutal conflict that ended about ten years before the series begins.Having a lot of AOs and no more source youma from which to create more Claymores would be kinda bad. Why the Organization does not simply create an army of them (rather than their traditional 47) and exterminate the youma is never explained, though it likely has to do with the danger of too many of them slipping through the control process and becoming Awakened Ones, which have the mind of a youma and drastically increased powers. The Claymores of the anime Claymore are half-human, half- youma hybrids that are generally a match for most ordinary youma.From Burst Angel: Jo, Maria, and the other "Genocide Angels".This shows up to different degrees in the various incarnations of Birdy the Mighty, including the title character herself.They are of the cyborg variety of super soldiers. Alita and the other Panzer Kunst warriors of Battle Angel Alita.
Each surviving member is considered a One-Man Army, which apparently led to the government persecuting their clan in the past. While its origins remain mysterious, the members of the Ackerman family possess an unusual trait that allows them to become one when awakened.All are insanely skilled soldiers even before factoring in their Healing Factor and ability to transform into Titans with unique powers. The enemy Titan Shifters are a Tyke-Bomb variant, hinted to have been raised and trained to carry out their mission against humanity.Dot Pixis invokes the trope to explain Eren's mysterious ability to transform into a Titan, claiming it to be the result of a military experiment to create a super soldier.Attack on Titan makes use of this trope to varying degrees.Fyana (Make: Melkian Government, Model: Perfect Soldier) of Armored Trooper VOTOMS is one of these, but she's as much of a MacGuffin as a character.(This latter question is often addressed by making the Super Soldier into a spec-ops agent of some kind, not being fielded in open battles but instead sent behind enemy lines to break things, or just simply being that powerful!) The second biggest logical flaw is the fact that, despite all their oft-expensive augmentations, they're still foot soldiers - and thus still vulnerable to things like aerial bombardments. The biggest logical flaw is, of course, why the results would remain loyal (itself creating the logical flaw of why an organization with the resources and know-how to create such beings wouldn't also invest in a bit of insurance). Note that this is a trope unusually likely to bring out the Fridge Logic. If large numbers of them are created by the Big Bad, they will seem terrifying at first, but eventually either they lose their threat and become just more mooks to get beaten up by the dozen, or else the production facilities are destroyed and they are never heard from again. In the latter case, they'll usually have to go against Evil Counterparts in the form of the "normal" super-soldiers or Psycho Prototypes. The exception is when they're created to defend the good guys against overwhelming forces, or if they were created as super-soldiers but raised as regular people. If the super soldier is a protagonist, then they lie anywhere on the spectrum from hero to villain to Villain Protagonist to Hero Antagonist. They're also Sympathetic Sentient Weapons at times. Super-soldiers are likely to unintentionally attack their own comrades out of reflex (metaphors for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are optional, but very common). They are often wracked with guilt over their previous actions and may be extremely "twitchy". If the super-soldier is a hero, they will often either be ruthless killers who have had a change of heart and/or angry victims who want revenge against their creators. The Super Soldier can come in many forms, ranging from government-raised human weapons, cybernetically, genetically or chemically enhanced ordinary humans, to complete artificial lifeforms, or any combination of these. A soldier specifically intended to be above and beyond a normal man harder, better, faster, stronger, tougher, more skilled, more determined, built and trained to fight and win.
