%%* DiedInYourArmsTonight

%%* HeroicSacrifice

%%* TakingTheBullet

* DeathSeeker / ICannotSelfTerminate: It is pretty clear that he is also willing to accept his death as he felt he was irredeemable for basically having to participate in Wetworks as part of being an "Anti-Snake" soldier, something that's made very clear that he did not enjoy at all, if he couldn't beat Big Boss at all.

* TheSeer: She can see brief glimpses into the future. [[spoiler: even forsees Big Boss's son both [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid bring the world to the edge of ruin]] and then [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 become it's savior]].]]

* ClimaxBoss
* ColdBloodedTorture
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Subverted.]]
** [[spoiler:TheManBehindTheMan: But again, subverted. He reveals this to Snake before the battle with him, but later Gene reveals that he knew the truth and was using it to his advantage to further his plans.]]

* HandicappedBadass
* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:Before his death.]]

* ScaryBlackMan

%%* DisneyVillainDeath

* LaughingMad

* KnifeNut: His weapon of choice. In the final fight he favors a flurry of throwing knives rather than an automatic weapon.

* SuperSpeed: Of the {{Flashstep}} variety. Gene is capable of moving fast enough to leave {{AfterImage}}s, dodging automatic gunfire, throwing multiple knives in what looks like a single throw, and [[BullfightBoss a performing a highly damaging tackle, after a brief charge up]]. He is fast enough to even make ''Null'' (Who could block automatic gunfire with a machete) seem slow.

* NietzscheWannabe: Gene expressed a belief that humanity is good for nothing except being "violent, foolish, fragile creatures" and fighting amongst each other [[spoiler:when forcing them into a mass suicide riot]].

* {{Expy}}: Gene is the game's equivalent of Liquid Snake, an EvilCounterpart to the hero. But whereas Liquid was Solid Snake's literal evil twin, the relationship between Naked Snake and Gene is a bit less obvious, since he is not an actual twin, but a super-soldier trained in the image of Naked Snake's mentor, He is one to Psycho Mantis, using his psychic powers to bolster the moral of his troops [[spoiler:(or make them commit suicide).]] He is also one to Vamp, utilizing super speed and primarily using throwing knives in battle. Gene also takes his codename "Viper", from the antagonist in ''VideoGame/MetalGearGhostBabel'', Black Arts Viper, who was that game's equivalent of Liquid Snake. Lastly he is this to Big Boss himself, as Big Boss will become. A "successor" to The Boss and a charismatic cult of personality who is trying to create a nation where soldiers are free of political manipulation.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY : Rah-sha.

* GoOutWithASmile: Gene faces his death with dignity, [[spoiler: even praising Big Boss for surpassing him and hands him the funds to build what would become Outer Heaven]].

* [[spoiler: DiedInYourArmsTonight]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]

* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion: During Gene's MoralEventHorizon.]]
** [[spoiler:It's even more powerful than it seems since he does this immediately after Gene claims humanity to be "fragile, foolish, violent creatures" and telling Big Boss to see for himself humanity's true nature. In a way, his sacrifice is the ultimate contradiction in Gene's philosophy.]]
* [[spoiler:TakingTheBullet]]

* [[spoiler:DiedInYourArmsTonight: Dies in Snake's arms.]]
* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: She appears to die when RAXA is destroyed, but shows up later where she destroys the ICBMG activation control panel with her psychic powers. Averted when Gene stabs her immediately afterwards, [[KilledOffForReal putting her down for good]].]]

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: She doesn't have a sister named Ursula, she ''is'' Ursula. Both her and Elisa are separate personalities who believe each other to be twins.]]
* [[spoiler:SplitPersonalityMerge: During her final confrontation against Gene, she speaks with the resonance of both her personalities' voices. Realizing that both her personalities's visions were one and the same. This combination of both "sisters" results in her having the emotions of Elisa, thus fighting to help Big Boss, and the power of Ursula, thus able to make machines explode and deflect attacks with her mind. After she is fatally wounded by Gene, she speaks with only Elisa's voice, but is able to see the future more clearly than ever.]]

* [[spoiler:DisneyVillainDeath]]

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: She doesn't have a sister named Ursula, she ''is'' Ursula. Both her and Elena are separate personalities who believe each other to be twins.]]

* AttackItsWeakPoint: [=RAXA's=] missile tubes are located right next to it's rocket boosters. [=RAXA's=] engines are right next to said rocket boosters.

* DeathFromAbove: ICBMG is dropped by a rocket to it's launch site where it can fire it's payload, then walk or hover back to friendly territory.

* TheUnfought: ICBMG isn't battled as it's sitting helpless on it's rocket.

* ItIsPronuncedTroPAY : Rah-sha.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wanted to get rid of the Philosophers and free the world from their control, although his method of doing so was launching a WMD at Virgina, USA and then making it seem as though the Russians did it. He also seems to believe that having the masses essentially pour their life energies and be sapped of their free will and commit sacrifice was something The Boss would have wanted.

* Expy: [[spoiler: Of Psycho Mantis, being the insane, but psychokinetically powered dragon of the rebellion's leader who helps the protagonist as much as they hinder them. Both were [[TykeBomb child soldiers and products of the same research project.]] They both even have (albeit different levels) of Disassociative Identity Disorder, with their [[SuperPoweredEvilSide more homicidal side being the more powerful psychic]].]]

* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: She appears to die when RAXA is destroyed, but shows up later where she destroys the ICBMG activation control panel with her psychic powers. However, Gene kills her immediately afterwards.]]
