[Comics] How common are Peak Humans (especially in the military/sports)?

So Batman hit Peak Human by spending his formative years turning his body into lean, mean fighting machine. The Arrow did something similar with his time on the island and his fighting skills. That being said, isn't the military also pretty interested in churning out peak human soldiers as fast as it can? Given the success of peak human vigilantes, does any military have training programs geared towards churning out Batman level fighters? As far as I know Frank Castle got most of his training in the military and he's pretty damn 'peak', so that has me leaning towards yes.

And if so, are peak humans actually that rare? Is the average special forces guy actually pretty close, or is there some 'special sauce' missing from their training that keeps them from attaining 'peak' status? When Batman takes on a SWAT team, or a Special Forces squad, how far above them is he really, in terms of pure physical stats? 

The same question could be asked about Batman and Olympic/Pro Athletes.

Essentially, how common are peak humans among non-vigilantes who also happen to be training their bodies for peak performance, like professional athletes or soldiers?

Sure, but the actual people that join aren't really interested in becoming a peak human soldier. They just want to earn a paycheck like you and I, most likely for doing the least amount of work.

Athletes are also a no-go, since they're interested only in becoming peak in a very narrow way.

When we're talking "peak" in terms of Batman, Cap, and others, we're talking peak in a very broad way. They are peak human speed, endurance, strength, fighting ability, etc.

Sans artificial means, this takes an extraordinary degree of training, willpower, and biological makeup that would be extremely rare. Not to mention the free time to actually put in the effort. It's no coincidence that these non-artificial peak humans you mention are either extremely rich (Batman, Green Arrow), or basically hobos with no day job (Punisher).

What really sets them above the rest, though, is mentality. Firstly the have the mentality to devote themselves to the kind of regimen required to become peak human. But also, when fighting your average Joe, they just have the mentality that is needed to win/end fights. Batman can win against someone that is stronger or a better fighter because he's got the single-minded devotion to his cause that is truly rare. Your average SWAT guy simply doesn't have that mindset. His goal is to deescalate a situation, use lethal force as a last resort, and get home alive.
