10 Video Game "Super Soldiers" That Were Completely Useless

6. Middle-earth: Shadow Of War: The Nazgul

The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit films make the terrifying Nazgul, the Nine Servants of the Dark Lord Sauron, out to be the ultimate warriors of Sauron's dark army. They can slaughter hundreds of men and elves single-handedly. Their very presence instills the hearts of Hobbits, Men, Wizards, and Horses with an unshakable fear and sense of imminent death.

In the sequel to Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, the main character Talion and his Elf ghost pal Celebrimbor are forced to fight every single one of the Nine several times. And every time the elf-man duo wins sending even the Witch King of Angmar screaming in fear.

While it's true that Talion and Celebrimbor are helped out with a host of superpowers and their own constructed one ring, in the game it seems that even normal humans could wipe the floor with the Nine. This makes them the weakest members of Sauron's army. It has to sting when an Orc with a crossbow elicits more fear than the nine superpowered wraiths that were once kings of men.
