Venom Snake is the protagonist of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Bio[edit | edit source]
There is an old saying that any entity which looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck very likely is a duck. By virtue of the same logic, someone who looks like Big Boss, acts like Big Boss, and talks like Big Boss, probably is Big Boss.
Except when he isn't, and especially if he doesn't know about it himself.
Long story short, Venom Snake originally was a combat medic working under Big Boss himself. Then things in Cuba went south, and the powers that be decided that the best way of dealing with an immense cult of personality within a heavily armed mercenary group was to continue it. Namely by subjecting some random bloke to a heavy regiment of cosmetic surgery and brainwashing to have him act as an unwitting body double.
The false snake was installed as the returned leader of the Diamond Dogs, and lead the group from its operations in the Soviet-Afghan War all the way to the Outer Heaven Incident. Where he, coincidentally, and by means of completely random chance, was killed by Solid Snake. If this sounds like an insane narrative hodgepodge - well, welcome to Metal Gear.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Venom Snake fought in 8chanmania XLV. He was quickly dispatched of by Cate Archer, who immediately saw his talents and recruited him into her personal squad of saboteurs.
