The Renegade FOX Unit

Gene


What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to yourself? Your country, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs? Your duty to your unit, or your personal feelings? Look at how much you've lost already! What kind of country deserves this much loyalty, Snake?

Also known as: Viper
Nationality: American
Role: Commanding Officer
Skills: Product of the Successor Project, Extreme Agility, Mind-altering Speeches, Possible Telepath
Equipment: Throwing Knives
Battles with N.Snake: 1 Time

My Thoughts: Meh. As a product of the successor project to make the ultimate battlefield commander based on genes from the late Boss, he was bound to be a contender! His voice abilities were a nice touch on draining stamina and he was a slippery mother to hit with a gun.

Gene also made the comparison that he and Naked Snake were 'brothers' because they are both products of the Boss. This made the final battle a little more important and further tied it to the consoles MGS' by pitting brother against brother. He didn't have any lasting affect on me though.

Cunningham


Simply apply the right type of pain, to the right degree, at just the right location.

Also known as: Boa
Nationality: American
Role: 2nd-in-Command
Skills: Master Interrogator, Arms Specialist
Equipment: Flying Hovercraft (Armed with a Gatling Gun, Side-Winder Missiles and a Laser), Prosthetic Leg
Battles with N.Snake: 1 Time

My Thoughts: This overweight cripple filled in the standard Ocelot role of double-crosser but he seemed to be playing more of a puppet which instantly puts him in the Mug Book.

The battle was quite easy. He floated back and forth with no habit for accuracy with his weapons. It was a good thing I suited up with an RPG to make this easy fight even simpler.

Your children; Les Infant Terribles. Snake, your son will bring the world to ruin. Your son... will save... the world.

Also known as: Elisa
Nationality: German
Role: Member of FOX
Skills: ESP (Psychokinesis & Precognition)
Equipment: Metal Gear RAXA
Battles with N.Snake: 1 Time

My Thoughts: Plot twist!!! I completely didn't expect it and was absolutely gobsmacked when it came about. Just goes to show that Hideo still has some aces up his sleeves.

My only problem with her boss battle is that she is inside a Metal Gear so you don't actually take her on person-to-person. I guess it would have been a similar fight to Psycho Mantis but who knows!

...Why? Why do you still live?

Also known as: Frank Jaeger, The Frank Hunter, The Perfect Soldier
Nationality: American/Vietnamese
Role: Member of FOX
Skills: Enhanced Reflexes, Product of the Perfect Soldier Project
Equipment: Machete, M1911A1 Pistol
Battles with N.Snake: 2 Times

My Thoughts: I wouldn't say it was the best boss fight but he is definitely a supreme opponent and a very cool looking gentleman. Cutting up bullets and dodging any form of physical contact makes this guy a legend.

I was even more surprised to find out who he eventually becomes and I'm actually oustounded that they waited this long to show him in his organic prime...if you know what I mean.

Python


Soldiers need a hero. They need a man for whom they can gladly risk their lives. Can you bear the burden of knowing that you hold your men's lives in your hands, Snake?

Also known as: N/A
Nationality: American
Role: Member of FOX
Skills: Hardened War Veteran, Immune to Extreme Cold
Equipment: Liquid Nitrogen Suit, LN Grenades, M1911A1 Pistol
Battles with N.Snake: 1 Time

My Thoughts: Supposed to be the Anti-Snake but I couldn't really see it. I was anticipating his first appearance from when Cunningham mentioned him.

I enjoyed the match-up though but I felt he didn't have enough to take down Snake. The obvious introduction of an ice element foe was gonna happen and it was definitely worth it for this chilling customer.
