I just found actual proof that Venom Snake is NOT Big Boss:

Look at this image:



You might notice some pretty glaring details that aren't there on this artwork. As you might know, Venom Snake is missing his left forearm. But, look here: Big Boss's left arm is actually completely intact. Also look at his head, right side, more specifically: He is lacking a horn. There IS a jagged scar nearby, but not an actual horn. Now, you might argue that Big Boss may have just gotten his horn successfully removed. However: the problem still lies in Big Boss's arm: He really shouldn't have an intact arm, and there's zero indication that it was surgically reattached (if it was, we'd see scars around the area that connects the two).
