Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) and Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) characters share similar traits to one another. Both were recruited to volunteer for Treadstone and Blackbriar projects. Both were military soldiers presumed dead. Both share similar military training and expertise in weapons and martial arts. Both had a love interest (Bourne/Nicky Parsons) and (Cross/Martha Shearing, possibly). Both are being chased and pursed by the C.I.A. by their former mentors/recruiters (Chris Cooper's Alexander Conklin for Jason Bourne, and Edward Norton's Eric Byer for Aaron Cross). The major differences is that Aaron Cross knew his real identity as he had revealed it to Shearing (Rachel Weisz) midway through the film. Damon's Bourne doesn't find out who he really is until the end of The Bourne Ultimatum - Il ritorno dello sciacallo (2007). Cross also remembers his family even though it's revealed somewhat vaguely during his conversation with Martha Shearing, and it is not known who if Bourne has or had a family and that may be revealed in Jason Bourne. Cross is a genetically enhanced soldier both physically and IQ wise and we do not know if Bourne was also enhanced or just a natural, physical soldier without enhancement. Of course the differences are explained by Bourne getting amnesia due to his initial shooting in Bourne Identity and that only Blackbriar subjects were medically enhanced as new experiments and not those involved in Treadstone.
