I'm actually working on something similar to this, it doesn't involve
the whole super soldier thing and it makes a complete tweak of the Ranma
Universe.  Ranma is the heir to the Musabetsu Kenjitsu Saotome Ryu (as
opposed to Musabetsu Kakutou Saotome Ryu), a several times reincarnated
soul who, in one life, drowned in Jusenkyou and, in another, was Himura
Kenshin (hence the red hair).  He will, of course, have flashes of his
previous lives (in male form he'll have dreams, but in female form,
certain events will cause visions).  Also, as a female, he'll have
unconscious access to the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu (if you've ever seen
Ruroni Kenshin then you know that it makes him nearly unbeatable), this
should help solve the lack of story plot thing (at least I hope so)
Expect the Prologue to "Happily Ever After" sometime in the next month
or so (I've got 5 other fics to work on that haven't been touched for
over a year)

    I was thinking about all the Ranma falls into the spring
of Captain America fics I have seen recently, and I wondered
how Ranma would react if his female side were superior to
his male side in martial arts.

    For example if he fell into the spring of the drowned
Warrior Woman. She was a German scientist attempting to
recreate the super soldier serum used on Steve Rogers to
turn him into Captain America. She had just succeeded when
an allied bomb blew a large vial  ( containing about ten
times the dose Steve got ) into her chest, turning her into
giant super soldier, faster, stronger and with better
healing abilities and an a more enhanced learning abilities
well as more enhanced senses than Steve got from his dosage.
Now picture her moving east after the war, becoming a super
hero in the far east, especially in Japan and China. Then
she hides in an uncursed pool in Jhusenkyo from a villain
before escaping back to the amazon village.

    Remember a spring of drowned whatever doesn't mean a
dead whatever, only that it breathed in Jhusenkyo water. (
see Spring of Drowned Akane)

    Then Ranma and his dad come along and he gets knocked
into this pool. Now he is about 7-9 feet tall, about as
muscular as Captain America ( proportionately ), much
faster, strong enough to carry a truck and able to regrow
lost limbs, also immune to aging. She would probably look
something like Ranko, with Red hair and a fantastic figure
for a young girl.

    I figure the Super Soldier serum will eventually enhance
Ranma (male) but not immediately.

    How do you think Ranma with his male chauvinist training
will react to such a superior female form. Anything he can
do; she can do better.

    How would his dad react. I suspect this  world would
change immediately as Ranma would easily catch his dad and
would probably notice and be able to catch Ryoga. With the
original Warrior Woman known to the Amazons, they would
probably try to recruit this version as well, So Ranma would
be able to learn his special attacks.. I would probably make
this a one shot pool, so all the Amazons don't go jumping
in.

At this point, Especially with the emotional reactions of
the people involved reactions emotionally, I am completely
stuck. I just can't see ANY future past this point. If
anyone wants to try this, or some version of the idea, feel
free.
I would appreciate it if you'd mail me a copy when you get
it done.
