Super Soldiers was a comic book published by the Marvel UK imprint of Marvel Comics in 1993. Part of the shared Marvel Universe setting, it centered around a team of superhuman British soldiers, with some plot aspects drawing on the background of Marvel's successful Captain America character.

[edit] Publication history
The series was canceled after eight issues, after the first part of a new storyline, when Marvel UK abruptly ceased publishing new material.
[edit] Fictional team history
The Super Soldiers consisted mostly of individuals modified using biotechnology based on the American supersoldier codenamed Nuke. These characters were part of a British supersoldier program, which had been officially disbanded due to a mission gone wrong, and years later reformed along with other characters such as the rowdy mutant Guvnor, the Savage Land warrior woman Xantia, and the revived (after hibernating since the 1970s) martial artist Dragonfly, to work alongside S.H.I.E.L.D. and the USAgent. In the eighth (and, as it would turn out, final) issue of the series, the unit found themselves privatized and their contracts sold to the Mercy Corporation as an "Autonomous superhero response unit".
The team, or at least Joseph Hauer, are still in operation in the Marvel Universe as Hauer appeared during a briefing alongside Pete Wisdom, Captain Britain and Union Jack on the details of the British Superhuman Registration Act by Contessa Valentina Allegro de Fontaine, Alistaire Stuart and Commander Lance Hunter as part of the superhuman Civil War.[1]
