The Emperor's new groove.
How much do you know about marine biology? Now, I'm not talking about that creepy subset of real-world science where you learn how clams can get depressed or how sea urchins mate (the answer is "carefully"). I'm talking about Space Marine biology. Because whether or not you're excited about Relic's upcoming 3rd person action game could probably come down to how clued up you are.
Thanks to extensive genetic augmentation, each Space Marine is 7'6'' tall and weighs 700lbs before you put the armour on. They have a third lung and a second heart that's capable of pumping steroids or adrenaline into the first. They're implanted with something called Larraman's Organ, a high-tech liver that allows them to survive by eating dirt. Their salivary glands allow them to spit poison or chew through iron bars. And when they choose to sweat, they secrete a waxy substance that can protect them from extreme temperatures or even a vacuum.
They are superheroes hand-designed to protect humanity. They're also quite literally heavy metal fascists. Many Space Marines feel the need to protect "mortals" gets in the way of their job of eliminating the enemies of the Imperium.
