DARPA has recently been working on new projects that could in fact make fictional characters such as Captain America a reality. They launched a new division called Biological Technologies Office (BTO) to "restore and maintain warfighter abilities." They have many projects that will augment what a regular soldier would normally be capable of doing. One of their projects is called Technologies for Host Resistance (THoR) which is meant to find ways to "prevent the body’s overreaction to infection and buy time for the individual’s natural recovery mechanisms to kick in." They have many other projects that they are working on and it seems like warfare will soon change in the future to adapt. It is pretty crazy to think that things that seemed unreal are starting to become things that are simply not achieved yet.
