'Punished Snake' also appeared frequently in the trailers and promotional material about living through MSF's destruction witnessed at the climax of Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes. The additional nickname 'V' provides a more meta explanation for the name choice too, as Venom is the fifth character to bear the codename across the franchise, plus a continuation of the mantra V for Victory, which appeared in Peace Walker.įocusing on the game's story, players likely caught the overt references to Moby Dick with the codename 'Ahab,' echoing the story's self-destructive protagonist bent on revenge at any cost and the tragic outcome that befalls all characters involved. Where codenames like 'Solid' and 'Naked' depicted personality, so too does 'Venom' due to the character being deemed hazardous and snake-like as his peaceful aspirations turn to obsession and war. Venom Snake is not the only moniker worn by the villain protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 5 thanks to the abundant symbolism and double meanings provided by Kojima's typical naming conventions.

Perhaps there will even be ties to Venom Snake, a character that fans might not know everything about. With the announcement of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, many fans are adamant that the series will further tie itself together in a neat bow, allowing new fans to better understand the story. Now that Hideo Kojima seems done with the franchise due to his treatment at Konami, it’s fair to say that perhaps fans of the Metal Gear series will never know the true intention behind Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, and its most integral character, Venom Snake. Updated on Jby Jake Fillery: Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain was filled with answers surrounding the Metal Gear series, but also a fairly considerable amount of new questions to sprout up. In many respects, he’s The Phantom Pain’s silver lining. While Venom is yet another clone of Big Boss, (in more of a mental sense than a physical one) the fact that he had an entire life before becoming a clone makes him a far more interesting character as a result. If nothing else, fans seem to be coming around to Venom Snake, Big Boss’ literal body double, and the game’s actual protagonist.
