Soldier as seen in game
Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe. After arriving and finally locating Poland, the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a Nazi killing spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949.

Attack Potency: Wall level to Small Building level physically, At least Building level+ (The mercs can utilize weapons that are capable of vaporizing giant MvM robots. There are statements that indicate some of their weapons to be capable of atomization; see note. The Cow Mangler specifically is stated to be able to atomize human beings and sheep), likely City Block level (The Cow Mangler is also stated to be capable of atomizing cows), likely up to City Level to Mountain Level+ (Should be superior to Gray Man, who easily took several hits from Saxton Hale, who can kill yetis with a single punch. Yetis have been stated to "not be stoppable by anything on earth", which could indicate that the Yeti is capable of tanking nuclear explosions, and possibly the Tsar Bomba. Can damage the giant bread monster in Expiration Date, which can somewhat take damage from a nuclear bomb. Although the bomb did kill it, it was still durable enough to allow Scout and Miss Pauling to survive by hiding inside it. Can survive the Meteor Shower spell, albeit briefly), Possibly Planet Level (The Mercs can literally wear Max's severed head as a hat in game. Max defeated Lactose the Intolerant, who could destroy planets. Assuming it counts because Yetis are "Not stoppable by anything on Earth", Earth can utilize explosives strong enough to blow up the moon, meaning this possibly scales to yetis, who Saxton Hale can explode into blood with a single punch), up to Low Complex Multiversal with unusuals (Via the "Fifth DImension" unusual, which seems to conjure something from a 5th dimensional space. Other mercenaries can harm and kill those who use it despite its 5th dimensionality) | Possibly Universe+ Level (Capable of harming Master Cake), to Low Multiversal (Soldier has been shown to be capable of frightening Mario, and appears to be comparable to Mario too, as well as other tf2 characters who compare to SMG4 Mario. SMG4 Mario fought and should be somewhat comparable to Master Hand who created corridors of Smash Rooms, SMG4 Master Hand is the ruler of these dimensions and can manipulate and change the rules of them at his will which SMG4 Crazy Hand who has the same powers as Master Hand changed the rules of the Smash dimensions multiple times and Master Hand can create more game modes and more dimensions/maps at his will. SMG4 himself, who Mario is comparable to, is comparable to Zero, who has destroyed many, many universes in his search for “the avatar”. Capable of harming Master Cake in Unusual Troubles), possibly High Outerversal to Boundless (Once again, he is comparable to SMG4 Mario, who is based off of the original Mario, who was able to kill off the entirety of the Comic Book Industry in MARVEL What The...?! Vol 1 #24. Mario was claimed to be superior to Thermos by Death herself, whom Thermos was trying to Impress, who wiped out the entirety of MARVEL. Note Mario in SMG4 also beat Master Hand and Crazy Hand, who are somewhat superior to the original Mario, who did the previously stated thing. Can fight against Mario and other Smash Bros characters. Is comparable to Engineer, who can "Shred bfs vocals" in the tf2 fnf mod, and actually managed to harm his vocal cords when rapping against him. Bf was even able to combat several SCPs in Friday Night Foundation in a rap battle and win against them, including 049, 106 in his pocket dimension, and 173)
Speed: Relativistic (Moves at a fifth of the speed of the projectiles from the Righteous Bison), Relativistic+ reaction and combat speeds (Can consistently fight with and against his fellow mercenaries. Capable of reacting to the projectiles from the Righteous Bison), Relativistic+ to FTL with weapons | Immeasurable to Irrelevant, up to possibly Omnipresent with the teleporter device
Lifting Strength: Class 5, possibly Class K (Comparable to his fellow mercenaries. Can casually totes his rocket launcher and over a dozen rounds of additional rocket launcher rounds in addition to several cartridges of shotgun ammo and sometimes even a Japanese katana. Superior to Scout, who wrestled Heavy. Heavy is capable of Briefly holding back a speeding train) | Class 100+ (was able to lift an entire tank as well as two sentry busters above his head while he was flying in Soldier's Magnificent Adventure), likely Comparable to before, possibly Immeasurable to Irrelevant
Striking Strength: At least Large Building Level to City Block Level, possibly City to Mountain Level+, Possibly Planet Level, possibly Low Complex Multiversal | Possibly Universal+ to Low Multiversal, possibly High Outerversal to Boundless
Durability: City Block Level (can tank cow mangler shots), possibly City to Mountain Level+ (Should be superior to Gray Mann, who easily took a multitude of punches from Saxton Hale. Can damage other mercenaries), possibly Planet Level, possibly Low Complex Multiversal with unusuals | Possibly Universal+ to Low Multiversal, possibly High Outerversal to Boundless
Stamina: High (can easily tote around a rocket launcher and sixteen reserve shots along with a trench shovel and a shotgun/backpack without fatiguing and easily shrugs off the pain from rocket jumping). He also reacted very casually to having his hand cut off by the Pyro ("Miss Pauling, Pyro cut off my hand."), higher with the Battalion's Backup.
Range: Several hundred meters with his rocket launcher (is more effective the closer he is to his target), Several dozen meters with his shotgun (once again, is more effective the closer he is to his target), Extended melee range with melee weaponry.
Standard Equipment: look here, Mann power here, spells here, and unusuals here
Intelligence: The Soldier is a truly insane and fanatically patriotic murderer who displays clear signs of being a delusional psychotic. Nevertheless, he is recognized as one of the nine most dangerous mercenaries in the world and is an expert marksman while holding his own in melee combat with his trusty trench shovel. However, his insanity makes him impatient and reckless, which has gotten him into trouble on numerous occasions.
Weaknesses: The Soldier is truly insane, leading to his illogical actions and volatile personality (i.e. "I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days."). He must hurt himself in order to Rocket Jump. His Rocket Launchers have a long reload time. He must take or deal a certain amount of damage in order to activate his bugles' effects. Using the Escape Plan makes him more vulnerable to damage and his Equalizer deals damage based on how much health he has left.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Rocket Jumping: allows him to soar through the sky with ease and with great speeds, some weapons even deal more damage while hes in the air. however it does cost some health due to how he must shoot a rocket at his feet to properly rocket jump
Note: Most unusuals are not combat applicable, though because the Mercs have a resistance to them, they might be capable of being used in combat
