We don't know for sure that the kid is mantis, but it more then likly is. As for Solid Snake being in it I'm not saying I don't want him but I don't know how you could be convinced since theres no evidence that I've noticed; maybe I missed it. The only Snake that has been suggested other then Big Boss, who atleast in ground Zeroes was said to be going by Snake again, is Liquid as Eli's look and description match him.
