They're pretty aptly rated to me.

In terms of unarmed combat when compared to an elite ufc fighter they are extremely overrated.

In terms of just whatever else they seem like they're pretty aptly rated. Though, I saw people arguing about real life 50 SAS people beating comic Deathstroke........

Im gonna say that an average real life soldier is way more better than an average Stormtrooper, at least in terms of aiming. So they could probably kill Hans Solo level character and the likes if given with an appropriate range weapon.

But im not an expert in SW universe so ignore my statement if im wrong

In unarmed combat vs. real life experts in unarmed combat, they are definitely overrated. In melee combat overall vs. ancient warriors like knights, samurai, etc., I'm not sure but I've seen some cases where they're overrated. In armed combat with ranged weapons, they're pretty much aptly rated.

Eh against a Knight in melee combat, I'd go with the Knight. A mail fist would do some serious damage and with modern times being what they are, melee combat isn't as prevalent as it was way back when.

Underrated in terms of the sheer firepower that a well armed modern military at platoon level or greater can unleash on the battlefield in a well coordinated attack. It's truly mind boggling!

Overrated in terms of a squad or single soldier taking down any decent street level superhero, whilst armed or unarmed. No one at Elektra Natchios level or above should sweat any standard squad of soldiers, from any nation's armed forces.

@christovgrigori: Yeah...the Knight wouldn't be at any real disadvantage in melee combat.

Special Forces are in a league you can only dream of. Do you know how many even pass selection let alone the actual training? Very few people in this world have the heart or genetics to endure what they do. Show some goddamn respect, people.

They would not though. They are just humans. Deathstroke is wildly better than them in every single possible way

There's a limit on how good a human being can be though. Lot's of street levels can beat them without any trouble.

@jucaslucasa: I'm sorry. The title asks if real life military is overrated or underrated. Not sure why you're bringing fiction into this.

@monsterstomp: Pretty sure he's asking in regards of how people rate them as fighters, as in, against fictional characters.

At least that seems to be what everyone else is reffering to.

@jucaslucasa: Well obviously its easy for a writer to just say "This character has a background in the special forces". Which is a credential nearly every street character has in comics, that its skimmed over like nothing.

If that's what we're going off then real life military is vastly underrated.
