While the movie screens are busy with the on-screen confrontation of superheroes, the military is already preparing to show the world quite real super-soldiers. The Pentagon is already boldly demonstrating ready-made prototypes of the latest armor - and, more interestingly, developments implanted into the human body that will be able to develop incredible strength, the ability to telepathy and complete protection from pain.
Carbon armor
The researchers tested the potential ballistic protection of graphene by shooting it with a machine gun. They found that the material was stronger, more flexible and lighter than modern ballistic plates and Kevlar body armor. In addition, a million layers of graphene will be only 1 mm thick. MIT is working on an effective way to make the thinnest graphene body armor that will be able to protect a soldier from any small arms.
Synthetic blood
Synthetic blood will work much more efficiently than natural cells in the human body. A super-soldier who has received a full transfusion of blood already being developed will be able to do without air - respirocytes, trillions of miniature air receivers, will automatically renew the access of oxygen to the organs.

Speed
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other research universities are looking for ways to enlarge the human ankle and Achilles tendon. At the moment, the most promising is the development of bionic boots that mimic kangaroo tendons. People equipped with such boots will be able to jump eight meters into the air and maintain a sprint speed of 50 km / h.
Pain blocker
DARPA's main focus at the moment is to create an active pain blocker that will help a soldier recover from a wound instantly. It is assumed that the blocker will act for 30 days, gradually eliminating all the consequences of mechanical tissue damage.
Freedom from sleep
Another promising development by the dark geniuses of DARPA concerns human sleep. Scientists are conducting experiments to keep one half of the brain active while the other is resting.
Telepathy
Part of the DARPA Brain Machine Interface project is the development of better computer chips that can directly connect to human brains using implants. In addition to the ability for soldiers to control robots with just one thought, this would allow officers to communicate directly with fighters using telepathy.
Suction cups on hands
As part of the Z-Man project, American military scientists have already developed special gloves with which a soldier can climb any wall. The existing prototype is capable of withstanding a load of up to 80 kilograms.
