"S.S. Doomtrooper" is a 2006 made-for-TV science fiction movie starring Corin Nemec, in which a mutated Nazi supersoldier (which is blue, has glowing veins, can generate electrical radiation as a weapon, has greatly enhanced strength and size, and is a mindless monster) fights against Allied troops during World War II.

Plot

Set during WW2; SS Doomtrooper begins with six English and American prisoners being offered a secret mission, which entails them traveling to Germany in order to gather intelligence on a new Nazi project, and then destroy it, in return for their freedom. They parachute into German territory. Two of the Americans get separated from the rest of the group, and start making their way toward the meeting point for the rest of the group.

Meanwhile, Professor Ullman, the Nazi scientist, is given permission to unleash his project, a mutated monster, on the soldiers.

The two separated prisoners, encounter the Doomtrooper. They battle it, and just when things look their bleakest, the rest of the team comes. One is fatally shot by the Doomtrooper while the rest manage to escape..

When the Nazis hear that the Doomtrooper has failed to kill the Allies, they send a group after it in order to recapture the Doomtrooper. The Doomtrooper then proceeds to kill them all. The other four prisoners realize that the monster is still alive, and try to find a place to hide for the night. Subsequently, they stumble upon a French Resistance hideout. There they are told where the castle is. During the night, the Doomtrooper finds the French resistance base, and attacks. Most of the French resistance is killed. The five prisoners and two french fighters hide behind a bulletproof mattress. The team escapes from behind the bulletproof mattress and flee the building.

Back at the Castle, the Nazi commander orders Ullman not to make any more monsters. The scientist shoots him, and takes command of the base.

The team then make their way to the Castle. Once there, the Doomtrooper returns for a final showdown.

Back in America, the team's survivors tell the American General not to try to recreate the same creature. However, they suspect he will anyway.

Super-soldier

The super-soldier, produced by CGI effects, is a Nazi soldier that was mutated into a monstrous, vaguely Hulk-like creature seconds after being exposed to an unknown type of radiation. Transformed by a mad scientist played by Ben Cross, it is sent to battle the invading Allied troops but quickly turns on its creators and goes on a rampage. It is equipped with an auto-cannon attached to its right arm and is able to produce an electrical shock capable of electrocuting anyone in its grasp. The creature also possesses limited self-regenerative powers and near indestructibility to projectile weapons as well as high explosives, although it is fazed by fisticuffs and can have his arm cut off by a knife. The Doomtrooper wears a type of metal mask which hides its face and allows it to roar and growl in an electronically distorted-sounding voice. After killing nearly everybody that gets in its path, the Doomtrooper is finally killed by being injected with an overdose of the blue radiation used to create it. The Doomtrooper has a very similar appearance to the "Ubersoldat" or Supersoldier from the video-game Return to Castle Wolfenstein, a game made before the movie. The Ubersoldat from the game also has the ability to produce an electrical shock, and wears a helmet that completely covers its head.
