Captain America, the First Avenger
Captain America was created with a secret serum, and possibly a treatment in what looked like a vertical iron lung, translating over to an injection of a serum derived from secretive means, followed by genetic modification giving Cap super strength, super reflexes, and super durability. He favors old school fisticuffs over martial arts, and has extensive military training and experience.

His composite soul gives him massive strength and almost godly endurance.

Cool. Because you did.
I reminded of something Pieh wrote back in to 2010, I will just repost his comment...
'I'm not sure there are any redeeming qualities in this one. I think the last line hits it on the head. It's almost like I was handed an overly generic, staple, cookie-cutter, bland, stereotypical wizard, then given some totally useless information. When given the information I looked up and said 'Whut?' then I was told: Oh... Just act like Gandalf.'
Just act like Robert Downey Jr.
