There's nothing to rate because he's one big unknown. That said, I'd love to see a spin-off where you play as Octopus. Imagine the stealth, you could hide by taking on the appearances of other people. I kind agree with you over the underrate part, because his role was to be forgotten / ignored / overshadowed to begin with. Come to think of it, we (at least I) play MGS1 for hours without the impression there should be a guy called Octopus should be in it until Raven hinted us so, and start scretching our heads why Octopus needs to impersonate SIGINT. Octopus was in the story so that the audiences will all be tricked and to do that, he is destined to be forgotten. Nonetheless, all the antagonists in MGS1 are just fantastic.
