Kept you wanting, huh?
~ Solid Snake's catchphrase
We can tell about other people about--having faith. What we had faith in. What we found important enough to fight for. It's not whether you were right or wrong, but how much faith you were willing to have, that decides the future.

Summary[]

Solid Snake is one of the clones of Big Boss created in the "Les Enfants Terribles" where Solid Snake, Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake were created by The Patriots in case Big Boss turned against them. Snake would join various military organisations and eventually joined FOXHOUND and in his first mission, he infiltrated Outer Heaven and killed Big Boss before retiring.

Snake would get pulled out of retirement in order to stop the nuclear weapon, Metal Gear Rex from launching a nuclear weapon at the United States which would result in Snake fighting against Metal Gears by forming the organisation Philanthropy with his best friend Otacon.

Later in life, Snake's body began to age rapidly due to his nature of being a clone, however, this didn't stop him from fighting against both Liquid Ocelot and The Patriots to stop them from controlling the world.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • CQC: CQC, short for Close Quarters Combat, is a form of CQB created by Big Boss and The Boss. It allows Solid Snake to fight in close quarters while using both a knife and a handgun, allowing him to switch between fighting at short range and shooting an opponent in the distance. While Snake refuses to use it usually, his body forces him to use it.
  • Nanomachines: Snake has been injected with Nanomachines, tiny machines that assist his body and give him various abilities such as his Codec, the ability to hack highly advanced computers in a few seconds with just a touch, regulating his emotions so he doesn't suffer from fear or PTSD and administering adrenalin, nutrients, sugar, nootropics and benzedrine so Snake can stay awake longer without needing to sleep, his body won't freeze at sub-artic temperatures, his made smarter and be given all of the nutrients that he needs to function without eating.
  • FOXDIE: FOXDIE is a lethal controlled disease injected into Snake's body that is programmed to kill certain people when Snake meets them face to face by infecting them and simulating a heart attack. This later goes out of control and threatens to infect millions of people at random until Snake was injected with some new FOXDIE which started to kill the old FOXDIE.
  • Stun Knife: The Stun Knife is a knife that can be used as a taser to shock someone, allowing Snake to non-lethally defeat an opponent by knocking them out with the shocks.
  • Tanegashima: The Tanegashima is a musket that has been around since the era of the samurai, it is a special musket that has a one-in-three chance of producing a tornado when fired.
  • Solar Gun: The Solar Gun is a high-tech pistol that absorbs natural sunlight from the area around Snake to fire it off as energy projectiles to non-lethally take down an opponent.
  • The Patriot: The Patriot is The Boss' weapon, The Patriot is a machine gun that, due to its infinite shaped barrel, has infinite ammo.
  • Rail Gun: The Rail Gun is a weapon Snake acquired from Crying Wolf, it is a portable rail cannon that fires large pieces of metal using electro-magnetic waves to shoot them like a bullet.
  • Mantis Doll: The Mantis Doll is a doll that Snake took from Screaming Mantis, it allows him to use Psycho Mantis' psychokinetic powers to lift someone with Nanomachines up and throw them around until they die.
  • Sorrow Doll: The Sorrow Doll is a doll that Snake took from Screaming Mantis, it allows him to use The Sorrow's connections to ghosts in order to lift the dead body of someone with Nanomachines up and throw them around to grab items.
  • Stealth Suit: Solid Snake can equip the Stealth Suit, a full-body suit that makes his footsteps completely silent, protect his body from external temperatures as cold as liquid nitrogen and external poisons and makes his body heat to be able to be detected by thermal goggles.
  • Infinite Bandana: Solid Snake can equip the Infinite Bandana, a bandana that, when worn, gives every single one of Snake's weapons infinite ammo.
  • Stealth Camouflage: Solid Snake can equip the Stealth Camouflage, a piece of electronic equipment that, when worn, bends light around Snake making him invisible to the naked eye but can be seen by other means such as Thermal Vision.
  • Octo Camo: Solid Snake can wear the Octo Camo, an upgraded version of his Stealth Suit which regulates his temperature as well as match his exterior temperature to his surroundings while creating a camouflage that makes him blend into his environment. It also generates a light electrical current that makes Snake's body regenerate from light injuries better than it could before and increases his muscle strength.
  • Face Camo: After defeating Laughing Octopus, Snake gets Face Camo, a mask that allows Snake to appear as if he was someone else and trick others into believing he is them.
  • Big Boss Face Camo: One of the Face Camo's Snake has is the charred corpse of Big Boss (Later revealed to be Solidus Snake), by wearing it, whenever Snake is seen, it will terrify the opponent to the point they will hunch over in fear. This works on soldiers with Nanomachines that suppress any negative emotions.
  • Solid Eye: The Solid Eye is an eyepiece that allows Snake to zoom in, see in both Thermal Vision and Night Vision, it can also determine an opponent's emotional state even if those emotions are being suppressed by Nanomachines.
  • Soliton Radar: The Soliton Radar is a radar that determines a layout of a location as well as if anyone is in the area and everyone's field of vision in the area by using electromagnetic waves.
  • Codec: Snake's Nanomachines allow him to contact his allies in the middle of a fight. His allies can use their extensive data to give Snake the weakness of the opponent or how to counter their tactics.
  • Syringe: Snake has a specialised Syringe that, when injected into someone, can halt the functions of their Nanomachines which causes the emotional suppression to shut down and in the case of Vamp, his regeneration ceases functioning, allowing Snake to beat him.
  • Metal Gear Mk. II/III: Metal Gear Mk. II/III is a small Metal Gear created by Otacon that Snake can control with a PS3 Controller. It can hack into machines, can shock opponents with an electrical wire and has a high resistance to radiation to the point that it is barely affected by the microwave hallway.

Note: Since Solid Snake was designed to be the perfect clone of Big Boss, he should have every natural ability that he has.
