Basically in my opinion how joe average see's a "super trooper" depends on
the situation that created the trooper. Was it the need of a brutal war -
with super troopers suddenly mass produced as a new super weapon? Was it
a long program of social and genetic engineering/eugenics to create a
line of superior warriors trained and conditioned to protect the average
joes from the terrible secrets of space? How many super troopers are
there? One (Captain America), Ten (Super Soldier), 100, 1000, 1 Million,
more? Do the super troopers has social responsibilities they are held to
(some sort of Neo-feudalism). How long has joe average had to become
accustomed to the idea?
If they come into the public eye during a specific conflict, public
opinion of that conflict will probably colour their opinion of the super
soldiers, as well.
Compare, for example, the US revealing a super soldier program during
WWII vs Vietnam. If the Super Soldiers become linked with, say, Dieppe
in the public eye, they would have a completely different reputation
than if they were linked with some of the more sordid events during
Vietnam.
