2) Big Boss
More of a moniker or a legend than an actual person these days, Big Boss has served players as the protagonist for a number of the more recent Metal Gear Solid games. Most recently, the face behind the name has changed (slightly!), but the heritage of the character lives on.
While Boss is a truly impressive hero, his physical attributes and perceived immortality in the face of so many disasters could easily translate him into the role of a menacing villain. He’s ruthlessly efficient, intelligent beyond comprehension and able to avoid detection in even the most barren landscapes. He’s also lost a heck of a lot through his life and would have had more than enough reasons to go rogue if he ever chose to.
[zergpaid]And the cherry on the cake? Boss can run 100 metres in near world record time at 11 seconds. And how do I know this? Because I have too much time on my hands and decided to time it during a playthrough of The Phantom Pain.
He’s genuinely almost as fast as his horse, the crazy bastard…
