Halo's Spartans vs Captain America: Which Super Soldier Is Stronger?
This article contains spoilers for Halo episode 8.
Halo episode 8 finally shows just how strong a Spartan is without their armor — meaning the super soldiers can finally be compared to the MCU's Captain America. Inspired by the legendary first-person shooters, Paramount+'s Halo TV series marks the live-action debut of the Master Chief and his fellow Spartans.

Dr. Halsey wasn't content with transforming her Spartans into super soldiers, however; rather, those experiments were necessary so the Spartans would have the ability to use their Mjolnir exo-armor. This makes it difficult to properly evaluate the combat capabilities of a Spartan without Mjolnir, simply because they are never expected to operate in combat without it. Halo episode 8 breaks with this tradition, however, with a fight scene in which the Master Chief battles two of his fellow Spartans while he's out of armor; another scene shows Kai showing off among UNSC marines, letting them bet on whether she can pull off specific feats. These glimpses naturally mean it's now possible to compare Spartans to other super soldiers in fiction — most notably, Marvel's greatest supersoldier Captain America.
