Liquid Snake We have no past, no future. And even if we did, it wouldn't truly be ours! Also known as: Master Miller Nationality: British Role: Commanding Officer Skills: Adept in Hand-to-Hand Combat, Piloting Aircraft/Gears Equipment: Jeep, Hind D, Metal Gear REX Battles with Snake: 4 Times My Thoughts: The reckless and arrogant leader of the team with an inferiority complex to boot. Liquid was the commanding officer of the squad when it went rogue so he was in the frame when the whole thing was orchestrated. I'm not sure why but he always reminded me of Roy Batty toward the end of the game. He was a good villain though. He was always there to beat you down a little further. 9/10

Revolver Ocelot We're gonna launch that nuke and ride it all the way into history. Also known as: N/A Nationality: Russian/American Role: 2nd-in-Command Skills: Formidable Gunfighter, Master of Interrogation, 'Ricochet Genius' Equipment: Colt Single Action Army Revolver, C4, Torture Chamber Battles with Snake: 2 Times My Thoughts: What a joker. Ocelot and his whacky gun fighting provided me with many laughs. I always tried to fight him without wasting a single bullet. The SOCOM couldn't be beaten. Ocelot always made me feel like he was always there like an omnipresence. In a different way to Mantis as he always seemed to have kept a tab on everything that happened at Shadow Moses Island. 7/10

Sniper Wolf I was born on the battlefield, raised on the battlefield... Rockets, gunfire, screams... they were my lullabies... Also known as: N/A Nationality: Kurdish Role: Member of FOXHOUND Skills: Expert Marksman, Affinity with canines Equipment: Heckler & Koch PSG1, Diazepam Battles with Snake: 2 Times My Thoughts: The token femme of the team. SW was a worthy adversary in my opinion. I really enjoyed the snipe-off with her. One of my favourite boss fights due to its simple yet trying dynamics. I think along with Tifa Lockheart, SW had a place in my heart during my youth. Her calm and passionate love for what she held close was boundless and she was a looker! 7/10

Psycho Mantis From the moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain and misery. Also known as: N/A Nationality: Russian Role: Member of FOXHOUND Skills: Psychokinesis, Telepathy Equipment: Gas Mask Battles with Snake: 2 Times My Thoughts: The pick of the bunch. Mantis was consumed by so much rage and darkness, it made him the perfect boss to fight. His power which doesn't rely on conventional weaponry was immense and I'm surprised he was one of the first to be taken down. A tortured soul aswell, as he had a traumatic past which was one of the first steps that sent him toward his oblique madness. Check out Heracles' Summary for an overview of the battle. Entry 5. 10/10

Vulcan Raven The path you walk on has no end. Each step you take is paved with the corpses of your enemies. Their souls will haunt you forever. You shall have no peace. Also known as: N/A Nationality: Inuit/American Role: Member of FOXHOUND Skills: Shaman Intuition, Heavy Weapons Handling, Ordinance Specialist Equipment: M1 Abrams Tank, M61 Vulcan Cannon, Claymore Mines Battles with Snake: 2 Times My Thoughts: Haha, legend. Anyone who can walk around with a fighterjets offensive cannon as a handheld weapon is a hero in my book. Often people think that because he carries around a heavy arsenal that he MUST be a muscle bound tough guy with no brains. I always felt there was a deeper meaning behind VR. This massing hulk of a man had a deep spiritual side that reflected through his connection with the ethereal. He also had the best ending sequence of the entire series in my opinion. 8/10

Decoy Octopus How did you know?!? Also known as: N/A Nationality: Unknown Role: Member of FOXHOUND Skills: Master of Disguise Equipment: Baron Von Costume's Deluxe Disguise Kit Battles with Snake: 0 Times My Thoughts: I always felt that DO had more of a cameo appearance in this game. Seeing as the only time he met Snake was when he was under the guise of Donald Anderson, we only had his personality to go off. Safe to say that he does a mighty good impression of whoever he disguises as. I also felt there was an underlying obsession with the character as he went to extreme lengths to become his act. Right down to the blood and he paid for it with his life. 4/10
