Solidus Snake



Solidus Snake is one of the three "Sons of Big Boss", created as part of the Les Enfants Terribles project. In the project, one of the clones was to carry all of Big Boss' recessive genes (Solid Snake), and one was to carry all of his dominant genes (Liquid Snake), and one was to have a perfect balance of dominant and recessive genes (Solidus).

"Solidus" means "neither Solid nor Liquid" which is fitting seeing as how Solidus is the perfect balance of his two brothers. Solidus' trademark gun is the FN P90 sub-machine gun, and he is often seen wielding two Katana blades, nicknamed "Minshu" and "Kyouwa." (Democrat and Republican)

Exoskeleton
The Exoskeleton that Solidus wears was developed by the US army. It increases the wearers speed, strength and agility through the use of artificial muscle technology developed for Metal Gear Ray. It has two tentacles which can be used to grab or suffocate opponents and also has the ability to fire missiles. The tentacles can be ejected to increase speed. The suit is also equipped with an accelerator that allows the user to make quick movements across terrain, leaving a trail of flames in his path.

Background
The early years of Solidus' life are unknown. The earliest bits we can piece together is that he fought in the Liberian Civil War. He also killed Raiden's parents, adopted him and taught him to be a ruthless killer, in order to fight in the Liberian Civil War at an extremely young age.

Solidus was also the 43rd President of the USA, being known as George Sears while he was in presidency. In the year 2005, and acting outside the orders of The Patriots he started the Shadow Moses incident in complete secrecy, telling Revolver Ocelot to persuade Liquid into stealing Metal Gear REX and use it for his own twisted ways. But because Solidus accidentally revealed the existence of Metal Gear REX and the GENOME Army to the public, he was removed from Presidency and went underground when he heard the Patriots were planning to kill him off. While underground he took ahold of Dead Cell as a way to gain power and destroy The Patriots.

He devised a plot with Ocelot, Olga Gurlukovich and the remaining members of Dead Cell to take over the Big Shell where rumours that a new highly advanced battle station known as Arsenal Gear was being developed there. Calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, Solidus assumed the identity of his presumed dead brother, Solid Snake, and kidnapped the current President James Johnson. Solidus planned on using a nuclear warhead from Arsenal to create a gigantic electro-magnetic-pulse over New York, and attempt to reveal the existence of The Patriots to the world. However, Solid Snake, Raiden and Otacon managed to put a stop to his plan. Solidus was then killed by Raiden when the two battled atop Federal Hall at the will of the Patriots.
