Possibilities:
The marine can have

Higher vision

Better attack vs other infantries

the ability to walk on water

Specialization versus boats

The ability ride helicopters

A morale system

Nothing; I dont think marines need a power up

Explanations for abilities:
Higher vision
Did you know that humans can hear up to 200000 hz underwater? consumer.healthday.com/bone-and-joint-information-4/bone-joint-and-tendon-news-72/underwater-humans-hear-through-their-bones-653235.html in comparison, dogs can hear up to 60000. Anyways, humans could experience something similar in alien air
Pros: Doesnt make marines op in k v s, and it gives marines distinction.
Cons: My source could be wrong.

Can walk in water:
They are marines after all. This was originally an idea from the uniwar 2 thread i think.
Pros: Its cool and helpful
Cons: Only helps on certain maps. Also, this could turn out op

Specialization versus boats
They are marines. Not to mention, this could stack up with the walk in water thing
Pros: It makes the marine more unique
Cons: Could mess up the amphibian units update and make marines op

Better vs other infantries
They have machine guns, which does help mow down infantry
Pros: It doesnt mess up k v s and it makes marines unique
Cons: Could turn out op, or ruin balance

Can ride helis
They are humans and therefore can ride machines. However, they will only be able to ride helicopters because tank and marauder arent equipped to take multiple passengers ( or maybe tanks can carry marines too)
Pros: Helps humans in the beginning of the game, and makes them more unique. This could also allow them to play island maps.
Cons: could mess up k v s a lot, and make marine travel too easy.

A morale system
This system gives +1 when marines have high morale (from nearby enemies dying, for example) or -1 when they have low morale ( when fellow soldiers die).
Pros: This will help stop marine spam, since sacrificing multiple marines will cause a drop in morale and make spamming seem unattractive. This could also make plague more effective vs marine swarms
Cons: This could really mess up k v s. Also, its hard to explain why marines have morale when no one else does.

They dont need another ability
They are humans. Why do they need something else?
Pros: Assures balance
Cons: marines are weak in comparison to other infantries

marine is the stronger infantry unit so far, and the most used infantry unit. it ability to attack air and being able to walk 3 hexes makes it unique already
