Good old chemistry tests.

I'd think a lawn-mower would make a good medium-large scale grinder.

Wrap it in a rubber skirt and block off the exit port. Should reduce a few cubic feet of charcoal to dust fairly quickly.

Not the worst idea in the world: most highways are little-traveled and have the electric grid right next to them as-is.

I agree that nuke-power is a fairly viable option, but the issue with that is zoning: no one wants a reactor in their back yard. People don't understand radiation and nuclear physics; what they don't understand they fear.

I'd like to see all mass-transit running off mini-nukes(re: nuclear batteries). A man can dream.

give him triple the normal number of mitochondria-per-cell.
Bigger adrenal glands,

I'd look into the "study helper" chemicals people peddle to university students, and Ritalin. Some implanted artificial gland that produces them.

Depends, If you piggybacked the myostatin and folliostatin genes onto a carrier virus, it would give a short term effect, but you seem to be looking for a form of permanency.

You could go a different route: artificial DNA. http://www.msnbc.msn...-controls-life/
John Smith has a culture of each major tissue type(muscle groups, organs, bone marrow) collected, his DNA is extracted from the cultures and mapped. After mapping new synthetic DNA based off of the original blueprint is injected into the now vacant cells, which are cultured. The super-cells are then re-injected into John Smith; having the same markers as they originally did, there is no immune-response.

This opens up some other intersting ideas:
the synthetic DNA could have much longer telomeres, allowing the enhanced cells to reproduce for a longer time and supplement, or eventually replace, the basic cells.
Your John Smith could be 120 years old, with barely a shred of his original cells left; At what point does he stop being the man he was? Does he worry that most of his body is(or eventually will be) made of frankenstein cells? Is he mad at what "they" did(are doing) to him? There's your aggression right there.



You're not the only one to talk about super soldiers. check this thread out: http://scienceforums...rsoldier-serum/


Edit: additional thoughts.

He needs Resistance to disease!
A LOT of pharmaceuticals are produced by vats of GM bacteria. GM whatever strain(s) of bacteria are in John Smith's intestines; he has a constant antiviral and antibacterial suppository.
