The MGS Database downloadable from the playstation network is supposed to help you understand the series. But I cally do have a few questions about it. Solid and liquid are both clones of Big Boss and are a product of the superbaby method and analog cloning of the 1970s. However there is a third snake solidus who is also a product of Big Boss' gene extraction. The database doesnt say anything about solidus being a product of analog and superbaby method nor does the database indicate that solidus was created the same time solid and liquid were created. The database also doesnt indicate how unique solidus is apart from being the more educated and politically ambitious snake as depicted in the series. the series also shows that solidus is older than the two other snakes. I always thought solidus was one of the triplet snakes. Please clarify.
