Do you think that gordon is superhuman? Or at least, something more than just a scientist... It seems as if they hint at it very subtly throughout the game.
Gordon....

Dr. Breen referring to Gordon's "infinite energy" or something along those lines
Dr. Breen scolding the combine for being unable to capture an ordinary man. (He kept emphasizing the fact that he is just an ordinary guy able to defy an entire army of combine forces)
There are some other but I can't remember them.

And then Neo flies through the wall and he and Gordon fight! 
Seriously though, he may be superhuman, but I don't think Valve would let series drift that close to the Matrix storyline premise.

How is it possible?
This is not some.. agent provocateur or.. highly trained assassin we are discussing.
Gordan Freeman is a theoretical physicist who had hardly earned the distinction of his PhD at the time of the Black Mesa incident.
I have good reason to believe that in the intervening years he was in a state that pre-cluded further development of covert skills..
the man you have consistently failed to slow, let alone capture, is by all standards simple that, an ordinary man!
How can you have failed to apprehend him?"

Yes, and there are more references to Gordon being special, although I can't remember any of them.
It's certainly not the 'Neo' type of special, that would destroy my faith in gaming for ever if it were ever to happen, but I think there is more to Gordon than we know...

Maybe, maybe not.
I think he's probably a normal human, but if he isn't, then my theory is that he's somehow, some kind of alien-- the Vortiguants' talk suggests that he might be, and in the box pics, he's got those weird, glowing, green eyes.

Breen's speech is referring to the insurgent's view of Gordon as a kind of Messiah-- it's got more quasi-religious overtones than anything else, I think, but what you've suggested is still possible, perhaps.

Gordon is the oppourtune hero. A seemingly ordinary person with an undefeatable desire to live, crafted at the moment of crisis, his reputation is much greater then what he really is. The only superhuman aspect of Gordon is his mechanical suit, and exceptionally strong will. Gordon dies hard.
In my estimation, Gordon is not merely an ordinary man. What ordinary man can pick up a weapon and continually defeat US Marines?. Although I would tend to stay away from the belief that Gordon has some sort of supernatural, maybe even divine, strength, I do think there is alot more to this man then meets the eye. That should be fairly obvious.
Somehow Gordon has been imbued with great power. Not power on the scale of what Neo had in the Matrix, but something less tangable. I think its something Valve will never fully explain, even after Half-Life 10 (hopefully).

Gordon just has an HEV suit. Without the HEV suit, Gordon = teh d34d.
That said, I was suprised when I was being chased over the rooftops to Kleiner's lab, got shot a few times, then put on the suit and still had 100 health. Maybe the HEV suit is actually making Gordon able to be damaged? If you can somehow avoid putting it on maybe you'll be invincible throughout the game.

I tend to lean more towards the fact that Gordon is really just an ordinary man with capacities he didn't know he had until the shit hit the fan. I think he's just your typical hero-from-a-man character.
Although, there are those odd little signs that point to him being someone special. Something I noticed was the very beginning of "Black Mesa East" (semi-spoiler...). When you enter the chamber and you see Mossman for the first time, she says something like "I've heard about you since long before the Black Mesa incident", which I thought was kind of strange. Who knows though, maybe he was just a renowned scientist before coming to BMRF, but it's still interesting.
