The world is a BIG place, ¿Why other gifted people cant exist? Big Boss (or their sons) is not some kind of Super Saiyan, it was mostly Zero going gaga and creating the whole LET project, take Gray Fox for example, dude is nothing more than hype, he lost every fight in the entire series despite being the only dude with the FOX codename, now take Sam, a dude without hype, one of the most impressive fighter in the MG verse, that guy would wipe the floor with most MGS characters, yet the guy is pretty much a nobody unrelated to The Legends or the Snakes.

Mind you, Im a bit pissed about the whole XOF and Skullface reveal, its really cheapens MGS3 to me, he was pretty much Big Boss's Ada Wong, making Big Boss path's as smooth as possible, hell, Skullface was about to continue the mission if Snake was killed in action.

And please dont use PW vehicles as impressive feats, the average Call of Duty soldier takes down choppers and tanks like nothing too. Beating a Hind D piloted by Liquid, the guy who took down two fighter jets in the middle of a blizzard, now THATS is a feat worth mentioning, ¿beating a bunch of vehicles piloted by a random goon? not so much. Genes don't mean jack, eh? Compare someone born without legs from genetic disorder, to Liquid Snake surviving the Hind D explosion, falling from the top of Metal Gear Rex, then firing a gun while driving at high speed inside a darkened tunnel. Or Solidus surviving as half a skeleton in a plastic bag, after having his spine cut and falling from Federal Hall. Or Solid Snake getting old and crawling through a microwave.

Solid Snake had a lot of help too, from Otacon, Colonel Campbell, Gray Fox and pretty much everyone he ever called on Codec.

Metal Gear if full of gifted characters, but few have taken on armies and giant robots.

Who did Gray Fox lose to besides Solid and Naked Snake? Liquid may have killed him, but it was a self-sarcifice to take down REX's shield.

PW vehicles aren't just tanks. They're more advanced than that. I wouldn't compare Shagohod, RAXA, and ZEKE to tanks either. Even so, if one soldier can single-handedly take out a dozen tanks and several walking mechs then they are a legend.
