I like the Endoskeletal Replacement option best.

PU2's Supersoldier category is better than the one in the main book, which appears to be carried over from the Revised edition.

I go by the book and random roll powers unless having a specific concept in mind.

I create the Supersoldier as per the book, which includes both enhanced abilities and powers.

I had tried allowing martial arts from N&SS but found it was too involved making sure players used the right moves for their martial art. I might try using them in the future, but not now.

If I was allowed to, I would select four minor powers,which would include Immune to High Speed Kinetic Attacks(this is a great power,as it makes you immune to bullets and you can jump out of airplanes without a parachute) and Extraordinary Speed. As for my three special abilities, I would Physical Transformation which in addition to the bonuses, gives another minor power(Extraordinary PS,) Mind/Body Attunement, and IRMS.
