When you hear “super soldier” you probably think about Captain America. But throughout history there have been real-life super soldiers who dedicated their lives to defending their people and convincing 72,000 Ranker voters to support them on today’s super soldier tier list...

Keyboard warriors are the most dangerous. They can transform into something dangerous in an instant. A boxer, mma fighter or CIA? You name it. Anything to intimidate his opponent across the internet.
🤣🤣🤣
Indeed. And about as formidable as a wet, soapy sock in real life.
insert navy seal copypasta here.
me cookie monster
😂😂😂 made me lol. So perfect.. everyone turns in Steven Segal in the comments. Worked for cia, trained MMA since in the womb, is also a ninja and a elite hacker. 😂😂😂😂
If I’ve learned anything throughout all of these videos it’s that Weird History loves ancient Europe.
That’s where all the cool stuff happened
So it's ... historic soldiers ranked by pop culture apearance?
Pretty much. Not actual combat.
yes and no, it's quite accurate even if it was historical combat except for Apache Warriors that wouldn't stand a chance against other A's or even B's.
What about the Ottoman Janicar
Zulu literally fought ppl with guns and won. Yeah they C tier with Caped Baldie
Britian couldn't handle the horned prong attack at first
Dude agreed… eff this channel
The Zulu were done dirty. They should have been S tier
they won a single engagement, every other battle they were completely trashed. They won because of British arrogance and lax tactics, not because they were awesome
@@AeneasGemini wrong they won a lot more than that soooo
The Gurkhas should be on this list.
And they should be S ranked
@@Imperator-vo4to Yeah but Berzerkers and Spartans are more popular
Amon Amarth Berserker album guy on the thumbnail 🤣
Such a great album, one of my all time favs!
@@NashEsq It is an excellent album. I've got it on vinyl. Seen them twice in the last year and a half.
ah the real narrator is back. good.
Just like Trump, you need a diaper change.
This list is horrendously out of order
There's literally no rhymes or reason to this, whatsoever. Amateurish.
It was a user poll. What did you expect?
It’s more like the most well known warrior tier list. Not many people even know what Mamluk is lol
The Mongols are undeniably S tier
@@becauselifts9913You know this how?
No Comanche warriors??
Ask Ranker
17,000 left. Does not make for successful warriors.
NEVER REPLACE THIS NARRATOR! HE IS YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER FOR SURE!
I see even this channel does tier lists now
May be a bait 😄
I'll take that as a comment
Simo Hayha for the modern age
agreeee
Mongols should be S tier. Turkics too, even before the Mongols, Turkic (+Huns) literally dominated central asia and even the Middle east. No other nation has built more empires than the Turks
Its a popularity tier list, relax
Saying beserkers are above them is ludicrous. Mongols destroyed empires.
I think the best narrator on KZhead mentioned this was a Ranker viewer list so settle the feathers peeps😊
As someone who loved playing Age of Empires I know nearly every one of these “Super Soldiers”
I could also add the Nepalese Gurkhas, among the fiercest and bravest warriors we've known. I think they'll be put in A. Other warriors worthy of mention: French Musketeers, Ming Dynasty Warriors, Indian Rajputs, Swiss Pikemen, the Scots.
I enjoyed this and would like to see more, although I would prefer if you based it on actual historic research, not randos voting on the internet.
How can the Mongols and Roman Centurions not be S tier? They were the tools that shaped empires. Ridiculous ranking.
important to note some of these soldiers were over exaggerated in propaganda old sources during the period, famous example is spartans
True. Their hayday was relatively short lived. For most of Spartan history they were something akin to an amusement park for the rest of Greece. A place where they could come and watch re-enactments of past valour of Greece.
As someone with a lifted truck with Spartan stickers on it, it was.
Same with Berserkers. They are almost mythological.
Are there really people who don't know this?
😮
Awesome maybe a vid soon about the history of the Choose Your Own Adventure books.
I idea of the Mohawks and others using bows and arrows while sort of true is a bit of a historical misconception. Many Indigenous peoples of Americas armed themselves with muskets pretty much as soon as they could barter with them, and often times they had better guns than the colonists did because they weren't restricted by arms controls what guns they could purchase. If anything, colonists usually preferred to target the camps where the woman and children would be because they knew in a straight up fight with Indigenous peoples they would lose 9/10 times.
Interesting video thanks!
Thanks for this! 🛡
Half these rankings aren’t by actual power, but meme status. The Spartans had so many issues with their focus on eugenics that it pretty wiped them out as a society, and they didn’t stand at Thermopylae alone. Meanwhile, the Aztecs had fucking obsidian swords that could decapitate HORSES. The Mongols could do seemingly impossible archery on horseback, and engaged in biological warfaref(and helped spread bubonic plague, whoops). There are so many more incredible armies in history that AREN’T growling white men that need more exposure 💕
What do I think? I think this list is based off pop culture popularity and has nothing to do with the military effectiveness of each group, especially since every single group mentioned has been defeated in battle numerous times. Im surprised ninjas and pirates arent on the list.
Your telling your age " that rabbit guy ," 😹🙈😹
Interesting coincidence. I've been playing Unicorn Overlord lately and a lot of the classes were terms I've never seen in JRPGs like hoplite and landsknecht. Lo and behold, saw the IRL inspirations for some of em in here! n
SAS, Navy SEALs, Spetsnaz, GSG9... C'mon guys go full Deadliest Warrior on Spike TV....
You should do a modern soldier list.
I don't really even understand how one could rank these at all.
They a voting system through ranker
Monguls gotta be S tear they were the most efficient warriors of all time
I remember watching Captain America winter soldier in hospital
shit time; shit movie...
Absolute joke of a list
Awe man... This narrator again? I guess I'll just cry in the comments...
No Navy Seals, Green Berets or Army Rangers?
Varathians were legendary especially in the defense of Constantinople. Also there the Scared Band of Thebes. They were undefeated for 10 years
They still lost to persia and probably not in ranker
A lot of folks getting their feels ruffled on this one.
Probably because the channel "usually" tries to stay true to actual history and they went a bit Discovery Channel with this one.
Centurions belong in S tier.
Sorry I'm late... was in a battle.
You forgot the sikh warriors like Baba Deep Singh, Hari Singh Nalwa, Ajit Singh, Jujhar Singh and Himmat Singh just to name a few
Left out one United States Marine with an M4, Mossberg 500, sidearm, and a trench knife. Above all of them.
Something Something European modern army fans may disagree and don't even get started with the Russian Spetnaz
@@BeyondDaX We also have the raiders, green berets, Seals, Rangers, Delta force, night stalkers.. with 70,000 active.. navy, army, airforce, Marines, Floridians, Appalachians, Ozarkian, Cajuns, street gangs to psychopathic suburbanites... Our school teachers have more combat experience than most special forces. Most children play laser tag, paint ball, air soft or play strategy driven war simulation games. It's whatever tho.. ✌
IMO, the warriors that use wood or stone instead of metal are more dangerous because they seem like the ones that could kill you with their bare hands alone and lack of gear.
Bro I just fucking subscribed to a newsletter in 2024, let the spam continue! I need to get in on some of these votes.
Aimo Koivunen. After he took all the Pervitin. 😁
So no skull warriors from the Aztec n instead the simp jaguar warrior?
Boo on the Spartans joke. Go Blue. Go Wolverines!!!
I believe this is a first rating for the channel. I want to see another tier list about actors and actresses
No thanks. I'm pretty much "Hollywooded-out".
what about conquistadors?
Not on ranker I guess
@@BeyondDaX Rankers a cool site.
2:07 Centaurs are naturally good at horseback archery. For the Zodiac, the Sagittarius sign is often represented by a centaur.
Aztec Gang ❤🇲🇽
0:01 I used to have one of those metal lunchboxes of Captain America when I was in elementary school.
Running 100 miles in one day..right
🎤"Would you like to ____ my ____ Berserka"
Show me your long sword.
But what about the Klingons
You should have use WWE wrestler The Berzerker in your clip on the S Tier
Spartans & Berserkers priceless 🙌🏼💯❤️⚔️🛡️
Good video but...ARGH! It's "Jag-U-Are" NOT "JAG WIRE".
Comanche smoked apache
Super soldier = Wolverine for me
so was S tier the super soldier rank? could've just left the other ones out
4:58 In the film That Thing You Do, Guy Patterson (played by Tom Everett Scott) has a lot of "I am Spartacus" quotes. Just watched that film the other night (recommended by The Cobwebs Channel), awesome film!
The whole bottom of the comments section is all your comments...
Who is the Cossacks ?
Siberians at their most wild
where are the power rangers on this list ?
the Mamluk warriors that you underrrated them to F are the only ones who really defeated the Mongols for good... Shame on you.
A+ video! LOVE IT! Fascinating topic and ranking!
Look.... it's a ret*** fishing for a 🍹
Look.. a reta** fishing for a 🍹
No Alexander the Great?
That's a guy not an army
Maori warrior's should be top tier.
So, no love for Moro juramendatos?
2 of them at least i don't agree with
Eating ANOTHER Weird History snack! Eating DORITOS*† Blazin' Buffalo & Ranch chips...while watching this Weird History video! I ate those chips when the Buffalo Bills played in the AFC Championship game in 2021. * From the the Weird History video "The Spicy and Surprising History of Doritos" † I hope more stores keep stocking their shelves with this flavor or Doritos, it is fairly hard to find!
I'm eating your mom's tuna patty....
2:15 That is from the film Clerks, awesome film!
Showing Mayans from Apocalypto in place of the Apaches? Come on. Lazy. Plenty of movies about Apaches.
I love the tier list style video and I would love to see more of them
I disagree with your notion of the jaguar warriors being cool-I view ritual human sacrifice as demonic-but you are entitled to your opinion.
Aztec Jaguar soldiers would decimate the entire list
I dunno, have Obsidian weapons work on certain armors? Also horseback disadvantage.
@BeyondDaX look up Tzilacatzin and see how the spanish trembled by hearing his name even with their fancy armor... also Jaguar Warriors wouldn't have fought against horses head on they were master strategists
Prime Jon Jones beats any of these guys in unarmed combat
Jon bones jones
Weight classes and rules.... I trained without rules since I was 3. I'd bet a dollar I could beat him on the ground without rules. With rules I'd look like I've never fought... I don't even want to know what they trained to do to people.
kzhead.info/sun/i7epe5SNqZlreYk/bejne.html They took fly agaric
I can't believe Haku and Harley Race didn't make this list.
They're wrestlers though, no matter how legit they were
Zulu's should have been in S as well...
Tell that to the voters
A million other kids had one also. So what's your point
5:12 I have the same middle name as Gerard James Butler who plays King Leonidas. What an experience it would have been to be a Spartan!
1:34 Batman films were the Top Grossing Domestic Films for the year FOUR Times. That was in 1989 (Batman), 1992 (Batman Returns), 1995 (Batman Forever), and 2008 (The Dark Knight). (Box Office Mojo)
Our Guy is back
Utter shite. This the same Celtic warriors that fought off the Roman Empire?
Samurai’s aren’t S !?!?
Samurai were basically cops and never really fought wars. They were used to put down peasant rebellions. Every once in a while they would fight each other. They also lost every battle against an outside force.
Much of the abilities of the Samurai have been exaggerated. Not to say they weren't good at what they were primarily used for. That said they sacrificed armor for agility (as they were Martial Arts experts), which means against a foe with anything more then leather armor, they were basically useles.
2:35 The Roman Centurion experience would be awesome, it would be the ultimate soldier experience!
Best Tier List EVAR!!!
0:19 On the film No Hard Feelings, Maddie (played by Jennifer Lawrence) attacks her enemies naked on the beach and beats the crap out of them.
I'm descended from Viking, Teutonic, and Maori warriors, so I guess it's safe to say I'm pretty badass! My profile pic says it all. 😂
This does history so much unjust… like wtf⁉️
Samson and King David and his mighty men from the Bible.
The Vikings did not use two-handed swords. And the principle weapon of the Landschenecht was the two handed great sword known as a Zweyhander or Bidenhander, together with a short sword with a unique S-shaped quillion, known as a katzbalger.
Pretty sure the Kusarigama is a ninja weapon, not samurai, and the Naginata was used only by women…
This is silly
3:11 I am watching for the Lord of the Rings trilogy to come to Netflix, hopefully that is soon!
Mongol warriors were clear S tier. Sorry. This is just badly done.
Blame the voters
My viking blood boils with pride
No Viking berserkers?!
They're in the list...
Where does Antifa rank?
