Hmm, not sure what to make of this. If this was Skull Face, I doubt it means that he was the subject of gene therapy. That kind of experimentation was, as far as we know, only conducted after research into Big Boss's soldier genes was underway in 1972. The whole idea behind soldier genes only arose during Operation Snake Eater anyway, so I doubt gene therapy research was being conducted prior to 1964. However, if Skull Face knew Big Boss from "way back," it is almost certain that he was a member of FOX as well, something which surprisingly hasn't seemed to come up in discussion. After all, he and Big Boss are both referred to as two "phantoms" born from "FOX". It is very likely that this character is Skull Face, although I deny the plausibility of gene therapy.
