That still doesnt tell me where Spartan-117 comes from? How are the kids different from the other ones? did they give them a radioactive element to help them become smarter, stronger, and faster?

Ok, Spartan 101...
Back in the late 2510's, the human empire stands on the brink of a catastrophic civil war between Earth and the inner colonies loyal to her, and the outer colonies. As an alternative to open warfare, Dr. Elizabeth Halsey comes up with a radical alternative.
After screening the population for the required subjects, she and a secret branch of the Office Of Naval Intelligence kidnap 75 children ranging in age from 4-6, replacing them with flashcloned duplicates.
These children are trained to the limits of human endurance and beyond, becoming the equal of any special forces team, with the minds to match. When they are around 14, they undergo a series of incredibly dangerous biochemical and biomechanical augmentations.
30 of the children are killed during augmentation, around a dozen more are seriously crippled. The surviving children are now much stronger, faster and smarter then the average human.
They are used as a precision strike option against the rebels.
