The Super Soldier Serum IS steroids. 616 cap needed added on radiation therapy to activate the chemicals though.
Ultimate Cap however is the most realistic,with him having 6 month's of various chemical and surgical treatments just to become the very peak of human efficiency.

Nano tech as in nano bots, will require tansistors not mayed out of the traditional micro chips and will therefore not be vunerable to EMP's. 🙂
How about something like Master Chief?
* Advanced carbide ceramic material grafted onto bones to increase durability and strength
* Protein complex injections to increase muscle density and lower recovery time after injury
* Body growth hormone pellet injections to boost skeletal and muscle tissue growth
* Occipital capillary reversal to increase blood flow to the eyes, resulting in enhanced vision and perceptiveness
* Superconducting neurofilament fibers added to nerve endings, resulting in 400% increase in reflexes and increases in intelligence, memory, and creativity.

Give it a 100 years or so, but im pretty sure most human soldiers with have similllar modifications , although this seems a bit unlikely:
'Superconducting neurofilament fibers added to nerve endings, resulting in 400% increase in reflexes and increases in intelligence, memory, and creativity'
A 400% increase in refelexes would probably mean an entirely new CNS. 🙂

That was a single death , the Grey Blob scenario can cause millions to die with relative ease.
Infact the grey Blod scenario kills pretty much everyone .... buts thats irrelevant, as without Nano tech, the world dies eventually anyway. People said the same about the Nuclear bomb, but without Fission and Fusion we can forget about any form of necessery planetary travel, or future realiable energy sources. 🙂

Nanotech--at least in the context of this thread, wherein we are discussing a lot of hypotheticals--covers an extremely broad range. For example, it is conceivable that very advanced nanotech would be less 'little robots' inside us and more actual enhancement of our DNA, reinforced atomic bonding, using organic molecules in whole new ways, as examples. Nanotech might modify nerves into fiberoptic pathways, such that an EMP would be useless.
Nanotech hundreds of years from now might be as different from our current conception of nanotech as teraflop microchips are from an abacus (eg, picotech / femtotech, anyone?).

Indeed .... Imagine if we are able to enter another dimension (As stated in one of my posts on the last page) the nano tech may be able to alter our atomic structureWith this level of energy matter manipulation, anything is possible. 🙂

As for purposly manipulating DNA, there always the possibility that we have the inactive mutant gene. So far the only significant mutations we see on a daily basis are birth defects and the albinos. Nothing like blue fur or claws. There is always an endless possibility that tampering with our DNA would not only bennefit us in our everyday lives and assisting in the war, but it could also lead to stopping certin diseases and illnesses. But at this point in the world... I think we could use a few good men with good hearts to beat the snot out of the enemy once in a while.
But that's just me. 😉

Oh...i was thinking in more of the tiny robots/Star Trek voyager style nano tech then any 'enhance your atoms' style.

Oh yeah, I'm fully on Hawkeyes side. His powers are attainable by anyone. Just as long as they have enough training and dedication to be able to get to that degree of marksmanship.

eh....so I think that IF a Captain America type procedure can be done, this would be included in the package. I actually was thinking of the engineering possibilities, but I got lost in the brain related material (in my own spare time) then I went and looked it up:http://www.deaftoday.com/news/archives/003820.html
I mean think about it. How awesome would it be to....just KNOW everything? All the information in the world at your fingertips and cutting the "learning" time in more than half....WAAYY more than half.
I still think that having everything of knowledge at your disposal is the coolest idea.
And grey fox Im sorry, but clearing a room full of soldiers with guns with a BOW AND ARROW (and each guard had like 3 arrows a piece) is physically impossible. The time it takes to get an arrow, notch it, and release is a lot more than pulling your index finger 😬
