He was better than the average soldier, easily disarming and pinning one to the ground. He also was bad at understanding basic biology.ĭue to his genetic engineering and being endowed with Big Boss' superior soldier genes, Liquid had enhanced strength, speed, durability, knowledge and skills in combat. The destruction Liquid caused while telepathically controlling the Metal Gear shocked even Skull Face himself. Even as a young child, Liquid showed psychopathic behavior, laughing in delight as he escaped Mother Base with Sahelanthropus and obsessively focusing his life on killing Venom Snake. He hated being treated as a kid, as when Venom Snake patted him on the back, Liquid almost immediately tried to kill him by taking his knife, only to have his right arm dislocated, which Snake immediately put back after lecturing him about respect and loyalty. When Venom Snake captured him, Liquid didn't say a word to him and rudely refused Venom Snake's offers of help. In addition, he bore hatred towards the Patriots as he had hunted them down for some time, and vowed to deal with them in such a manner as to 'cause even the reaper's stomach to turn.' He was also shown to have a lot of self-loathing to the extent of being suicidal in his younger years, as evidenced by his comment about freeing himself from his cursed heritage when about to fight Venom Snake, his lamentation about his fate being written into his genes, as well has his deeply considering suicide until he was convinced otherwise.Īs a young boy, Liquid despised adult authority due to his handlers treatment of him and broke away from them while in Africa to form his own personal militia. When he was younger, his hatred for his father was intense enough that he reacted violently to even the mere mention of the subject of fathers or even parents, as evidenced by his becoming threatening to one of the soldiers in his squad when the latter relayed to him how his own father was doing with his work in the mines, as well as his instantly attacking Venom Snake when they first met after the latter expressed doubts that his parents named him 'White Mamba', and was also severe enough that it overpowered both Skull Face and Volgin's control over Tretij Rebenok (both of whom did so due to their mutual hatred of Big Boss). His hatred was such that when Snake compared him to the then-detained Naomi Hunter regarding his motives, Liquid didn't even deny it. This drove him to surpass his supposed genetic destiny, and in essence, his father.

He was incredibly resentful and bitter towards Big Boss, believing he had been knowingly chosen by the man to be his 'inferior' clone, whereas his brother Snake was endowed with 'superior' genes. He was described as having an 'attitude problem' by Miller. Liquid Snake displayed an arrogant and extroverted attitude in stark contrast to Solid Snake's more calm and collected personality.
