When I was younger, and there was only the Twin Snakes known of, I thought to myself "What if there was a third clone who was not Solid or Liquid? Would he be Gas Snake or something?"

But of course, Solidus was the perfect clone, who was neither Solid nor Liquid and that made a lot more sense than Gas or Vapor Snake. That's just... weird. Ah man... when you were young - since when did we turn matured audiences?

Anyway, I won't call the Vapour Snake idea silly and I appreciate him for linking all the "V"s together, but I would find it convincing only if that takes place during the Twin Snake's era (2005). We can clone people but we can't push the fast forward button and make a person mature fast in both physical AND mental aspects - at least not as far as the present day technology could.

As for the body double theory itself, I will AT MOST believe Ishmael played Big Boss, but feel that we can put the Gray Fox part of his theory into the trash can (especially if one can counter the counter-argue by saying some images are work-in-progress but take them as references in the first place as if it were finalized). Which is why people are discussing what/who Ishmael is. That said, I am inclined to say the Ishmael = Big Boss theory, despite possible, is not likely.
