As far as the existing MG saga goes, Solid doesn't know that Big Boss is his father until the very end of MG2-SS, and he doesn't know that he got a twin (be it Liquid or Solidus) until the mission briefing of MGS1, but Liquid has already know these facts prior to the start of MGS1, possibly informed by Ocelot (President Johnson said to Raiden in MGS2 that Ocelot provoked Liquid Snake to bring about the MGS1 events). Since Solidus was the one sending Ocelot, he must have known prior to MGS1 too. So one possibility is that we are seeing Liquid and Solidus in that shot, rather than Solid.

Now just in case that is Solid Snake, to provide a theory for him not knowing a thing, instead of saying it's hallucination or retcon, I suggest that Mantis may have brain-washed him (come on, even for people with IQ score less than 180, one cannot forget someone with the same face as himself when meeting this other person at the age of 12 right?). Mantis is confirmed (by Liquid) to have the ability of brain-washing.

The hair colour and scars bits still puzzle me, regardless that other boy is Solid or Solidus. Perhaps as someone said before, hair colour is changable as either of the young Snake matures? And then the scars - if Big Boss is retcon to have no scar at all during MGS4 (despite having a huge debris in his forehead), why can't they retcon (in a much less obvious way) that the twin Snakes / Solidus have slight scratches to their faces during childhood?

Any thoughts or comments?
