Les Enfants Terribles,means, The Terrible Children. That is what the project was called. It Started in 1972. Their plan was to artificially create the most powerful soldier possible. The person they chose as the model was known then as the greatest living soldier in the world, Big Boss;). But he was wounded in combat and already in a coma when brought him in. So the Snake brothers were created from his cells, with a combination of 20th century analog cloning and the super baby method. They fertilized an egg with one of Big Boss's cells, then let it divide into eight clone babies. Then they transferred the clones to a woman's uterus and later intenionally aborted six of the eight fetuses to encourage strong fetal growth. Now they had two fertilized eggs with exactly the same DNA. But that wasnt the end,they used Liquid Snake's DNA to create a phenotype which all the dominant genes were expressed,to create Solid Snake. Liquid Snake was given all the recesive genes. The means to which Solidus Snake was created is unknown. Possibly the only clone that was unaltered genetically, a exact clone of Big Boss. There is a possiblility that Liquid Snake was actually superior to Solid Snake. Because of the ending to the game, Ocelot said that the inferior one was the winner after all, referring to Solid Snake. Possibly, after being told he was weaker then Solid Snake after so many years, he actually truly believed it, and made him the weaker brother of those two. Solid Snake's will to win makes him the strongest soldier. His belief in himself, not in what he is told will effect his ability. Its been said that Solidus Snake maybe the most powerful out of the threeSnakes. A well balanced masterpiece he was called. But he appears to be almost the same age as Big Boss when the project was started. But its been said he was the youngest brother. Due to no genetic altering, he may have aged way faster then a altered clone. The reasons of these elaborate codenames is simple. The second part of the code name, Snake,came from Big Boss's original codename Naked Snake. The first part of the codename is names of the principles of physics,Solid and Liquid are self explanitory. Solidus on the other hand actually means what they refer to him in the game as,a balanced masterpiece. Solidus is a combination of Solid and Liquid. After these clones were created,they were sent to different parts of the world. Liquid Snake was sent to the UK, Solidus Snake was sent to Asia. And Solid Snake was sent to the US. But this project was made with a experation date. When the clone reaches a genetic level, a sickness or disease will occur, and will eventually die. Solid Snake technically is the last surviving son of Big Boss. Liquid Snake found a way to brake the curse of his genetic heritage, by living on through Revolver Ocelot's right arm. It is still unknown how much time Solid Snake has left...:cry:
