By real world genetics theory, Liquid's hair is the result of recessive genes, but Ocelot said that he is the dorminant one. Now it could be, Zero or Ocelot, is only referring to the combat abilities of the Twin Snakes, when they are talking about dorminant or recessive (Come on, the whole point is to create a few copies of a strong soldier, not a model with a specific hair / eye colour!). Furthermore, if they already have difficulties in cloning human alone back in those days, separating genetic materials perfectly by dorminant and recessive is even harder. It could just be that Liquid, seeing his hair colour, mistaken himself to be the recessive.

Big Boss' scars still puzzle me. Do you mean the MGS4 Big Boss had his face from Solidus? It's the first time I heard this but my understanding had always been that the MGS4 Big Boss has his own head, whereas the rest of his body was builded by either Liquid or Solidus' body. Have I missed anything?

Btw, that Mantis suggestion may work in the end, who knows?

No it doesn't complicate things if you pay attention to what the games tell you, yes Ocelot said that Liquid was the superior clone, but that does not mean he had the dominant genes the whole time, like I told the other guy, recessive=/=inferior and dominant=/=superior.

I mean in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Big Boss's flesh was burnt off by Solid Snake, in MGS4 they took the flesh from Solidus's vegetative body to replace Big Boss's burnt skin, Big Boss's head is still his own, it's his skin that was Solidus's, why else would Solidus's body not have any flesh on it? In all fairness, at the very least in The Twin Snakes (which had an updated script to better reflect the Japanese version, Mei Ling's Western quotes and the coma bit aside), they did refer to dominant and recessive for Solid and Liquid, respectively, and said it in a manner that indicated superior and inferior.
