Mgs who is solidus

Despite all of this and his apparent perfection, he hates the fact that his aging stops him from doing a lot of things. It is because of this that he descends down a terrible road of ruthless leadership. While his accelerated aging may have been a positive thing when he got elected for the presidency since he looked like he was well into his 40s or 50s, it is actually a weakness.

Because the Patriots are to blame for his limited lifespan, Solidus makes it his life mission to punish and destroy them.

Because of this, it weakness him in a sense. His hatred takes over, and through that, he becomes a truly ruthless leader—not stopping at anything to get what he wants. It is Solidus' dream to be immortalized, between statues and having a very important legacy. He never wants to be forgotten and wants to stay relevant throughout time. The issue, however, is that because he was cloned, he cannot have children and he cannot be cloned again. So, while he is desperate to have his name immortalized—to have his legacy go down in history—his actual bloodline, his actual DNA, will never be able to continue on.

This means that no matter what he does, the fact that he is sterile is actually a weakness. While Solidus Snake respects Big Boss, he is nothing like him. Why does that make him a hypocrite? Well, he is quite convinced that he is becoming like his father, which is seriously not the case. While Big Boss has many amazing traits, like honor, loyalty, and most importantly, empathy and compassion, Solidus has none of this.

He desperately wants to make a mark on the world, but, while Big Boss and Solid are making one through doing good, he is doing the opposite, no matter what he thinks.

We've mentioned that his age is already a problem because of the fact that it ends up being a weakness, but there was actually another problem with it as well.

Solidus was 28 years old when he won the election, becoming the youngest US president ever despite the fact that physically, he looked much older. Solidus Snake, the only one of the Enfants Terribles who stars in just a single title — barring his bottled remains that were used as a diversion in the events of MGS4.

Still, Solidus is one of the most beloved characters in the series, a charismatic villain with some indisputable ideals, but also a ruthless man who goes to such lengths to achieve his goals that it would disturb even Machiavelli. And eloquent as he is, he has a lot of memorable pieces of dialogue. Here are five of his best quotes. The Patriots constructed a false reality for him, but he also constructed one on his own, in his own mind. But as soon as Solidus has spoken these words, he suddenly appears in physical form, he becomes real in a sense.

No one lasts forever. Life is nothing but a grace period for turning our genetic material into the next generation. The data of life is transferred from parent to child. But we have no heirs, no legacy.

Cloned from our father with the ability to reproduce conveniently engineered out. What is our legacy if we cannot pass the torch? Proof of our existence — a mark of some sort. MGS1 Later it was revealed that the third clone has survived and has the name Solidus Snake because it looks almost identical to Big Boss. Maybe Big Boss's surname was Snake too?

Why they are called Solid, Liquid or Solidus i dont know. Hideo Kojima sures knows how to think of a name doesnt he? User Info: dinokiller It's just codenames from mgs and mgs2. Kinda just like how Big Boss codeman was Naked Snake. User Info: unholyanubis. Okay listen well. Hope this helps. User Info: bigduo Solid and Liquid are just code names. Solidus is named solidus because he's neither liquid, nor solid, I would of called him Gas Snake myself.
