FOXHOUND

Liquid Snake

Adaptational Nice Guy: It's by virtue of it being a parody, but Liquid in The Last Days of FOXHOUND is overall less of an absolute dick than he was in canon.
Artistic License – Biology: His thoughts on genetics are... less than accurate. Humorously, this was later confirmed to be canon.
Badass Longcoat: It's the one thing he and Ocelot really agree on.
Berserk Button: Don't get him started on his inferior genes. Or mention his "father."
Character Development: He goes from being an annoying wuss that no one likes or respects to a legitimate badass that the rest of FOXHOUND willingly follows to their deaths.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Deep within his Cloud Cuckoolander persona is the badass he used to be. ...Very deep.
Identity Amnesia: Relatively mild version; he remembers most things but after basically going through a jet engine, he's forgotten much of his past and most of his combat skills.
Made of Iron: Much like the source material, he can take ridiculous amounts of punishment, but this time it's Played for Laughs.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Upon learning how the Philosophers sent The Boss to her death because they were fighting over money, he is left completely fuming over their actions and seeks reassurance from Big Boss that he gave them what was coming to them. This, along with finding out that the Patriots used Child Soldiers, is the impetus for him to rebel against them.
Rookie Red Ranger: Field leader of FOXHOUND despite being their newest member.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Basically lives for the approval of Big Boss (or his ghost).

Revolver Ocelot

Badass Longcoat: Like Liquid Snake, though for him it's part of his cowboy motif.
Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics/Improbable Aiming Skills: Ocelot. How improbable? This improbable.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The trope-namer. It's an actual medical condition, and he uses an inhaler to combat it. Badly.
Consummate Liar: He's been at this spy game since he was a kid. It's second nature to him.
Double Reverse Quadruple Agent: He's an ex-KGB officer, turned U.S. operative, who's planning to betray the U.S., while secretly working for President Sears, while planning to betray Sears because he's an agent for the Patriots. All while making Sergei Gurlukovich think he's trying to revive Mother Russia, but is playing him for a fool.
The Friend Nobody Likes: While everyone else in FOXHOUND puts up with him, they all make it clear they despise Ocelot and only keep him around because he's useful. Ocelot returns the favor by being a dick to everyone else and repeatedly screwing them over.
Old Soldier: He's noticeably older than the others in FOXHOUND, but still an extremely effective agent.
Pride: To an extreme degree.
Psycho Mantis: Look, this is a man who believes if God himself came down from the heavens, pointed a shotgun at his head and pulled the trigger, God would miss.
The Team Normal: A position he shares with Wolf. Liquid is a clone of the world's greatest soldier who is Made of Iron to an absolutely insane degree and has a relatively minor Healing Factor. Raven has superhuman strength and communes with spirits. Mantis is the world's most powerful telepath, who also has telekinetic and energy manipulation powers. Octopus can basically shapeshift, as long as he has the blood he needs from whomever he's impersonating. Ocelot? He's good with guns. Really good.
Torture Technician: This is one of various positions he's held in the past. When he gets nostalgic about his past work it tends to squick out most of his companions.
Troll: Loves to screw with Mantis even when they're not actively trying to kill each other, for example by tricking him into seeing Wolf make out with Liquid while believing him to be Big Boss.
Ocelot: Oh, you definitely want to see this.
Mantis: AAAGH! I never want to see that!
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Mantis. Emphasis on the "vitriolic."

Decoy Octopus

Adaptational Abomination: Goes from a fairly normal make-up artist into a freak of nature that can turn into a perfect duplicate of someone by drinking their blood.
The Blank: In the "invisible man" sense. He's such a master of disguise that his mental projection of himself is just a hat and a coat worn by empty space. (Because he's a Bogart fan.)
Gender Bender: Can shapeshift into women if provided one's blood, but he's very uncomfortable in such forms, since it's a rather thorough transformation.
Humanoid Abomination: The things that Octopus is able to do with blood are enough to have Naomi label him as a freak of nature.
Identical Twin ID Tag: When he spends a long period of time using Ocelot or Liquid as his new default form, he tended to wear a hat to differentiate himself from whomever he's impersonating.
Master of Disguise: It involves using the blood of his target to perfectly mimic them. Notably, this is one part of the game the comic gets straight-up wrong. There were no supernatural abilities involved with Octopus; he was just a good make-up artist and actor, and on one occasion used the nanomachines in a target's blood to complete the disguise.
Power Perversion Potential: Uses his disguise abilities to play naughty pranks and get away with it.
Shapeshifter Default Form: For a while it's some random villain whose form he took. Then he ran out of his blood. For the middle third of the comic, he took Ocelot's form, and for the last third, Liquid's.
The Sneaky Guy: He has little combat skills compared to his badass teammates, his speciality is in spying and infiltration.
Tempting Fate: When informed he has to stay put after talking to Snake in preparation for his infiltration of Shadow Moses, he describes it as "the best plan ever." He's the first member of FOXHOUND to die, thanks to FOXDIE.
Token Good Teammate: "Good" is a stretch, but he's never killed anyone, nor has he been shown wanting to. Compared to his teammates, that makes him a saint.
- To the point that the time skip to when they start planning to destroy the Patriots has him snap a man’s neck on the first mission we’re shown just to establish things have gotten serious.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Provided he has enough of someone's blood, he can basically shapeshift into them. he doesn't always care for the process, however, particularly when called upon to shift into a woman. He also still has to nail the accent and mannerisms of the person he's impersonating as well if he wants to be believable.

Vulcan Raven

Berserk Button:
- Don't insinuate his massive gatling gun is compensating for anything or he'll turn it on you.
- Don't call him an Eskimo either. It actually is a racist slur for Inuits.
Compensating for Something: There's no real evidence either way, but making the suggestion is one of his Berserk Buttons.
Exposed to the Elements: No matter where a mission is taking place, he goes shirtless. While he seems perfectly comfortable in the cold like this, he's rather less comfortable when a mission take him to the deserts of Africa.
Genius Bruiser: A superhumanly strong man whose weapon of choice is a machine gun that would normally need to be mounted on a plane, he's also a shaman happy to debate philosophy and ethics.
Honor Before Reason: If he feels something is against his religion he will refuse to take part in it, regardless of whether it would be beneficial or useful.
Only Sane Man: The most down-to-Earth, moral, and levelheaded member of FOXHOUND.
Speaks Fluent Animal: The only one who can speak with Berthold without Berthold making an effort.
Token Wizard: While most members of the team possess superhuman abilities in one way or another, Raven is the only one who has power that are supernatural in origin, being able to communicate with spirits.
Walking Shirtless Scene: Never wears a shirt, which shows off his tattoos.
You Can't Fight Fate: Thanks to his precognition abilities and the fact that he sees nothing beyond the events of Shadow Moses, he comes to realize he's not going to survive FOXHOUND's rebellion. He readily accepts his imminent demise and just decides if he is going to die at Solid Snake's hands, he going to make it a fight to remember.

Sniper Wolf

Friendly Sniper: A first class sniper and a decent person, although she can definitely be distant and snarky.
The Insomniac: Makes sure to be awake almost all the time... but this leads to her going insane periodically, followed by an insanely long coma when she falls asleep.
Navel-Deep Neckline: Parodied. She's stuck with her shirt being unable to be zipped above her stomach because it got Shrunk in the Wash.
The Team Normal: No superhuman powers, aside from her ability to almost go without sleep. She's just a damn good sniper.
Villain Respect: Posthumous example, but she greatly reveres The End to the point where she even concedes that he was the best sniper to ever live, rather than herself.
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Lampshaded, even. It's the trope's current page image. Not helped by the fact that her Kurdish heritage isn't even mentioned.
- Further lampshaded in one of the mailbox segments, in which Big Boss is shocked to finally find out she's a Kurd, saying "I thought she was French...Or German, or Swedish, or Hungarian."

Psycho Mantis

Adaptational Villainy: Not only is he much more insane here than he was in canon, but unlike canon, he's also an agent of the Patriots.
Badass Longcoat: Doubles as Gas Mask, Longcoat. It was Liquid's idea.
Berserk Button: Listing everything that sets him off would be time-consuming, but the list includes human sexuality, stupidity, and Revolver Ocelot, just in general.
Character Filibuster: Is prone to ranting whenever Liquid demonstrates his poor understanding of genetics, when he doesn't just devolve into Angrish.
Dying Declaration of Hate: Downplayed. While we don't see him during the events of the first game in this webcomic, his final appearance before Solid Snake arrives on Shadow Moses has him declaring that he just wants Ocelot to suffer more than anything else.
Enraged by Idiocy: His default state, sharpening whenever someone gets even stupider. When Liquid consults the North American Journal of Inaccurate Genetics he starts foaming at the mouth and becomes inarticulate with rage.
Expressive Mask: His eyepieces noticeably flex to match his emotions. Though they're usually set into a perpetual Death Glare.
Flat-Earth Atheist: Exaggerated. Despite living in a world with mind readers, mechas, shadowy conspiracies run by AI, cloning, magic, vampires, and being a psychic himself, he refuses to believe that ghosts are real until The Sorrow shows him the ghosts of everyone Mantis has killed.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Possibly even more than Ocelot, which is saying something. When he announces he's quitting to Foxhound (as part of a larger ruse he's conducting with Solidus Snake), the rest of FOXHOUND throws a "Good Riddance" party
He-Man Woman Hater: Absolutely hates all women and despises the thought of having anything to do with them, being unwilling to take Wolf's hand to avoid falling off a cliff and considering a cup of coffee contaminated because a woman made it.
- Misanthrope Supreme: Not that his opinion of men is much better.
Magic Feather/Power Limiter: It's unclear if his mask is one or the other, but he apparently needs it in order to avoid involuntarily reading the minds of everyone within a ten mile radius simultaneously.
Must Have Caffeine: It's his favorite drink, and he has a very exotic type of imported grounds that he guards jealously. Decoy Octopus takes advantage of this to distract Mantis from one of his pranks.
No-Sell: Doesn't fall for Decoy Octopus when he impersonates Liquid in an attempt to play a prank on FOXHOUND.
Shock and Awe: Sure does like his psychic lightning. It's coloured green.
Something Only They Would Say: Inverted. How does the rest of FOXHOUND figure out Octopus is impersonating him? They pushed Octopus into Wolf and he didn't go on his usual He-Man Woman Hater rant.
Vitriolic Best Buds: The closest he gets to actual friendship is a sort of respectful hostility.
Mantis: (to Berthold the psychic wolf) I'm pretty sure I heard what you were saying to Raven. Now, I'm not about to expose myself to the toxic wasteland of human thought just to talk to you. And I can't bring myself to thank someone who licks his own balls. But since we have some sort of understanding now, I think I owe you an explanation.

Berthold

Brought Down to Normal: After nearly dying by electrocution in a fight with the Cyborg Ninja, Berthold loses his telepathic abilities and his ability to understand humans.
Canine Companion: To Sniper Wolf. He's incredibly loyal to her.
Everyone Has Standards: When he learns that Raven has exposed Mantis to every human thought for miles around by taking off his mask, he demands that Raven put it back on, even though he and Mantis had been at each other's throats moments previously.
Berthold: If I could hear every inane thought that went through even one person's head I'd want to kill myself. That's too cruel, even for him.
Groin Attack: Fond of delivering or threatening to do this if he wants to get people to cooperate quickly. He justifies saying that it's effective.
Intellectual Animal: Tends to speak in a fairly refined manner, and tends to be condescending to the dumber characters.
Irony: He can't communicate directly with Psycho Mantis, despite the latter also being psychic. It's implied Mantis's mask has something to do with it, as the one time in the comic he's seen without it, he thinks he heard Berthold "speak."
Monster Progenitor: Those Wolf-Dogs you deal with in the caves behind the Commander's office? He fathered all of them.
Not So Above It All: He's initially annoyed when the dogs at Shadow Moses prove to be far ditzier than him... until they bluntly offer to have sex with him. In his own words, "Conversation is overrated anyway."
- Despite being very eloquent he's not above using more jovial insults like telling Raven to "go suck a reindeer's dick" when he gets laughed at.
O.C. Stand-in: He's essentially one of Sniper Wolf's many nameless pet wolves from Metal Geat Solid, just given a name and a personality.
Snarky Non-Human Sidekick: Though he keeps most of snark to either himself or Liquid. Wolf doesn't even know he can telepathically communicate.

Other Associated FOXHOUND Personnel

Colonel Roy Campbell

Only Sane Man: Probably the reason he's FOXHOUND's commanding officer, at first.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here/You Are in Command Now: He's more than happy to leave Liquid in charge of FOXHOUND and retire from military service, which coincides with Mantis blowing up FOXHOUND headquarters during a psychic temper tantrum.

Mei Ling

Genius Ditz: As kooky as she is, she's still smart enough to develop Codec, the Soliton Radar, and anti-telepathy nanomachines. She also has the foresight to inject herself with the latter before speaking with Psycho Mantis. When Vulcan Raven is reluctant to use any of her nanomachines, they end up quoting a Long List of proverbs at each other to support their arguments.
Genki Girl: She peppered her powerpoint with Hello Kitty clipart for crying out loud.
Fangirl: A big fan of FOXHOUND in general. Mantis doesn't appreciate it.
Food as Bribe: When Mantis' attempts to telepathically force her to reveal the secret to her anti-telepathy nanomachines prove fruitless (due to her having the foresight to use them on herself prior to the meeting), she proves much more pliable when Mantis offers her ice cream instead.

Meryl Silverbergh

Mildly Military: She actually calls her uncle over an unsecured phone in order to gush about her new — and very classified — assignment.

Naomi Hunter

Author Avatar: Like Mantis, she comments with considerable frustration on the many inaccuracies on science in general and genetics in particular.

Gray Fox/Frank Jaeger

The Ace: The best soldier that FOXHOUND ever produced, hence why he's the only to ever receive the codename "Fox". Also why he was selected to be experimented on for the basis of the Genome Army.
Big Brother Instinct: Naomi is the only character he's consistently nice to, even in the depths of his insanity. He also reacts poorly to find out Liquid dated her.
Cool Sword: He actually manages to parry Mantis' psychic lightning with it.
Implacable Man: Almost nothing can touch him, let alone slow him down. He can parry bullets, is a better fighter than anyone other than Liquid (and even then it took Liquid getting the jump on him and going full rage-mode), and his exoskeleton can take a ton of damage. It takes getting chopped by a helicopter blade and Mantis deep frying him while he's defenseless to take him down for good. Even then they still managed to resurrect him.

Desert Vulture

Friendly Sniper: Considerably more jovial than Wolf. She even warms up considerably whenever he's around.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Implied in #218, in which he mentions doing freelance work when not doing missions for FOXHOUND...and apparently caused Dead Cell's capture in the first place. It's unclear whether he was deliberately stabbing Dead Cell in the back or if it was an honest mistake.
Spear Counterpart: To Wolf.
What Happened to the Mouse?: After he forwards Nano Jackal's data on the REX project to FOXHOUND, we never hear from him again.

Nano Jackal

Action Girl: By way of Awesomeness by Analysis.
Awesomeness by Analysis: Nano Jackal approaches Ocelot's level of marksmanship when, faced with two armed soldiers, she kills one by bouncing a bullet off his partner's gun before shooting the partner himself.
Canon Foreigner: Not from the games at all.
Cassandra Truth: She tries to warn Otacon that he's being duped into making a nuclear death machine, but Otacon's rambling prevents her from getting a word in edgewise.
Only Sane Man: The most rational person in all of FOXHOUND, which is also why she bolted when she could.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Ran for the hills when she realized how out of her depth she was.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She sends the data on the Rex Project to Liquid, presumably believing he'll simply expose it and hopefully save her from Baker's wrath. She probably didn't expect Liquid would use it to take the world hostage.
What Happened to the Mouse?: After she forwards the Rex Project Data to Liquid, we never see her again.

Eddie

Canon Foreigner: Not from the games.
Defeat Means Friendship: He's recruited by FOXHOUND when they just happen to rob a store that Sniper Wolf is shopping in.
He Knows Too Much: Liquid (seemingly) kills him and his partner-in-crime Scratch for this.
Telepathy: Despite his girth, he's a telepath.
Uncertain Doom: It's unclear if Liquid had Mantis kill him or simply erased a non-specific portion of his memories. Although Liquid later says to Wolf that he was only mindwiped.

Scratch

Canon Foreigner: Not from the games.
The Cracker: A former sneaker.
Defeat Means Friendship: He and Eddie are recruited when they successfully manage to take Wolf hostage during a botched drugstore robbery.
Neck Snap: His ultimate fate at the hands of Liquid, due to knowing too much.

McDonnell Miller

Abled in the Adaptation: Ends up being one retroactively, since in MGSV he looses both his arm and his leg.
Doomed by Canon: Is shot by Ocelot towards the end, which the ending of MGSV implies is what actually happened.

The Genome Soldiers and the Goons

Elite Mook: What the Genome Soldiers were intended to be: Special Forces soldiers augmented with genetic therapy, giving them the best traits of Gray Fox and Big Boss. The actual results are...mixed.
The Faceless: They all wear balaclavas so they're all interchangeable.
The Guards Must Be Crazy: In grand MGS tradition, they are incredibly dumb and easily tricked. Liquid manages to knock out half a dozen of them in the same spot, over and over again when he gets stranded at Shadow Moses.
Heel–Face Turn: They were initially loyal troops, but thanks to Mantis' brainwashing and low morale, they sided with FOXHOUND during the rebellion.
Interservice Rivalry: The Goons stationed at Shadow Moses dislike the Genome Soldiers for their perceived superiority.
Red Shirt Army: What they ultimately become for FOXHOUND: disposable cannon fodder used in the rebellion, assigned the grunt work and meant to slow down Solid Snake to make it seem like there's actual resistance to his goal of activating the PAL keys.

Solid Snake

Always Someone Better: Liquid really, really has a hate-boner for him, due to Big Boss praising his soldiering skills over Liquid's.
Doomed by Canon: His only impact on the comic's events is to enforce this. No matter how fleshed out they become, no matter how much the comic makes them into Fallen Heroes, FOXHOUND are going to die by his hand.
The Dreaded: Everyone is well aware that Solid Snake is a deadly engine of covert war.
Raven: I won't throw anything at him he can't handle.
Liquid: Good.
Raven: Just the tank.
The Ghost: Never appears in the comic, save for a few silhouettes in the last pages. Though his impact is felt even before the Shadow Moses Incident.
The Voiceless: The few times he "appears" in the comic, we never hear him speak.

Cobra Unit

The Boss

A Father to His Men: A mother to her men (well, except the Sorrow, who she was a lover to).
Pregnant Badass: While her giving birth on the battlefield temporarily put her end of the mission on hold, she quickly sewed herself back up and got back in the fight. Yes, sewed; she gave herself a caesarean section. And didn't bat an eye over it.
Posthumous Character: Like all of the Cobras except the Sorrow, she only appears in flashbacks (apart from the occasional cameo).

The Pain

Catchphrase: "I'M COVERED IN BEES!"
Humanoid Abomination: Downplayed. He is human for all intents and purpose, save for one detail:
The Pain: Due to my mother's constant craving for sweets during pregnancy, I was born with fragments of honey DNA.
Posthumous Character: Like all of the Cobras except the Sorrow, he only appears in flashbacks.

The Fury

Cigar Chomper: He's almost always smoking during the Cobras' World War II flashbacks.
Cluster F-Bomb: He verbally explodes when Naked Snake barely scratches his space suit.
Non-Indicative Name: He was pretty level-headed before Operation Snake Eater. Even the Coming in Hot incident that sent him over the edge in canon left him more melancholy than angry, until The Boss gave him a Rousing Speech, that is.
Posthumous Character: Like all of the Cobras except the Sorrow, he only appears in flashbacks.
You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Stated more or less word for word by the Sorrow.

The Fear

Bit Character: He doesn't do that much, even in the flashbacks.
Posthumous Character: Like all of the Cobras except the Sorrow, he only appears in flashbacks.

The End

The Ace: Even Sniper Wolf admits he was the greatest sniper ever to live.
Posthumous Character: Like all of the Cobras except the Sorrow, he only appears in flashbacks.
The Voiceless: He never says a word whenever we see him.

The Sorrow

Afraid of Blood: A variant. While he does faint when The Boss gives herself a C-section, it's implied that this is more a response to seeing his lover cutting herself open.
Badass Bookworm: He used to be a professor of Russian literature. It's never stated when or where he did this, just that he was one "for many years."
Let's Get Dangerous!: It's implied that the scene in Snake Eater where, before his boss battle, his left eye starts crying blood and the glass over that eye shatters is this, as he doesn't do it when using his powers on any of the FOXHOUND members.
Literal Metaphor: Turns out his "spirit of the warrior" line to The Boss was meant to be this. He meant to stay with her as a ghost after she killed him, but she couldn't see him.
The Sorrow: Thirty-five years of talking to the dead and now I have to learn how to talk to the living. Perfect.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: Apparently, other than talking to the dead, this is his special ability.
The Sorrow: (trying to convince the heavily pregnant Boss not to go on a mission) Then you leave me no choice. I must use... (takes off his glasses) the eyes.
The Boss: Oh no...not that!
(The Sorrow gives her "the eyes.")
The Sorrow: You're making me sad...so sad...
The Boss: Aah! No! Stop it! Can't...resist...
Manipulative Bastard: Not quite to the level of Revolver Ocelot, but after he reverse-psychologies Liquid into manning up, Big Boss remarks that The Sorrow played him "like a damn Stradivarius," with The Sorrow responding that it's more like playing a kazoo. A kazoo with a big red button marked "inferiority complex."
Talking with Signs: The Sorrow communicates with normal people using signs depicting what he's saying, except when he's actually in people's heads. It occasionally gets a bit ridiculous. He can talk to Raven just fine though, due to him being a shaman.
Token Good Teammate: In his dealings with FOXHOUND, he's one of the few actually good people associated with them who knows exactly what they're doing.
What Measure Is a Mook?: The Sorrow cares a lot about what happens to the mooks killed by FOXHOUND and others, because he has to listen to their ghosts complaining in the afterlife.
Liquid: Dude, he's just a goon.
The Sorrow: Tell that to Mr. and Mrs. Goon!

Dead Cell

Vamp

Depraved Bisexual: He's more forward about it compared to his source. According to his CO, this is the real reason he's called "Vamp".

Fatman

Fat Bastard: Every bit as odious as he is in his home game.
Mad Bomber: To the point where he named himself after one of the most destructive bombs of all time.
Only Sane Man: Only compared to his Dead Cell comrades.

Old Boy (Colonel Klaus Mettke)

Bilingual Bonus: He exclusively speaks German, but his team seems to understand him.
Canon Foreigner: Kinda. While he's still a canon character, he was Dummied Out of Metal Gear Solid 2.
Those Wacky Nazis: Formerly. The Cobras' World War II flashback shows him as a young(er) man

Chinaman

Adaptational Wimp: Granted, it's only implied since he was removed from the final version of ''Metal Gear Solid 2'', but it's worth noting that many of his water based abilities were given to Vamp for his boss fight, and his status as a Special Effects Expert would have allowed him to transform a tattoo of his into a magical dragon to aid him in battle. Unfortunately, the only times we see him are when he's in a desert.
Canon Foreigner: For the same reasons as Old Boy.
The Ditz: Picking a racial slur as a codename (one that doesn't even fit his nationality) isn't even the dumbest thing he does.
Insistent Terminology: He's a special effects expert, and don't you forget it!
Non-Indicative Name: He's Vietnamese, and yet he chose his codename.
We Need a Distraction: Allegedly a master of distraction. His one we see used is him mooing to get guards attention, which gets them to look for an intruder due to no cows being in the area at all... getting them to be distracted anyway.
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Lacks any abilities besides being a swimmer and is thus useless outside of water. He operates in a desert.

U.S. Government

President "George Sears", a.k.a. Solidus Snake

Age Lift: Sort of. He hasn't undergone Clone Degeneration yet, so there's still some color in his otherwise graying hair.
The Chessmaster: In addition to seemingly having Ocelot at his beck and call, he's also got connections to Psycho Mantis, Kenneth Baker, and Nano Jackal. And those are just the people on his AOL contact list!
Greater-Scope Villain: As in canon.
The Man Behind the Man: He's this to Ocelot, just like in canon.
Non-Action Guy: The Last Days of FOXHOUND takes place before the events of Metal Gear Solid 2, so he hasn't gotten his Powered Armor or anything yet.
Our Presidents Are Different: He's a President Corrupt as in canon, but he's not a President Action yet.
Voice with an Internet Connection: Literally. When he wants a little anonymity, he uses AOL Instant Messenger to communicate with his contacts, using the Online Alias "ConspiracyDawg".

Secretary of Defense Jim Houseman

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Has the exact same "condition" as Ocelot, and it's implied he's even got it worse than him.

DARPA Chief Donald Anderson

Ascended Extra: By virtue of not being dead before the story starts.
Badass Normal: He is the only one during the entire comic that managed to dodge a shot by Ocelot.

The Patriots

Ancient Conspiracy: They've been in control of the US Government for the past century throughout various different forms, first as the Philosophers and now as AIs.
Greater-Scope Villain: Per canon, everything that has transpired in The Last Days of FOXHOUND has done so according to their design.
Hate Sink: Most of the main characters are villainous, but still fairly likable. So it falls to The Patriots to be the receivers of the audience's hatred, and are hated in-story by everyone else as well.
Hated by All: Everyone despises the Patriots, and even their most loyal agent throughout the webcomic would betray them with little hesitation if he viewed it as advantageous to them.

Spetsnaz

Sergei Gurlukovich

Call-Forward: He mostly exists to show Ocelot's role in MGS2.

Other

Big Boss

Archnemesis Dad: Liquid despises him for how Big Boss treats him, while Big Boss views Liquid as a constant disappointment. Liquid does earn some respect from Big Boss when he outwits him to retake control of his body, but the second to last panel shows Big Boss is utterly disgusted by Liquid's failure in MGS1.
Death by Adaptation: Retroactively, as he is very clearly a ghost and long dead in the comic but Big Boss is revealed to be alive at the end of MGS4.
The Dreaded: Everyone is terrified of him, what with being the greatest soldier that ever lived. Mantis' first act upon meeting Big Boss's ghost is to beg not to be killed. The only people who don't show any fear of him are Liquid, who just hates him, and the Boss' ghost.
Manipulative Bastard: He has Liquid wrapped around his finger, albeit with the intent of making him a stronger, smarter soldier.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When talking about the true reach of The Patriots and their methods, he becomes completely honest about what they entail, avoids any manipulation tactics at all, and makes it clear that he completely despises them.
Troll: Very possibly in his first appearance. After having admitted to lying to Liquid about his "inferior" recessive genes, infuriating Psycho Mantis
Big Boss: They really gave Solid all the recessive genes.
Psycho Mantis: Dah!

Kenneth Baker

Adaptational Villainy: He was shown to be rather shifty in his only scene in the source material, but here, he's a full blown Corrupt Corporate Executive who isn't above murdering people who know too much and wastes government money.

Dr. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich

Genius Ditz: Has invented both stealth suits and giant robots in his time, yet is cheerfully oblivious that he's developing a nuclear-equipped walking deathmobile.
Good Is Dumb: He's a nice guy who never suspects his boss is deliberately building REX to use as a nuclear launch platform and thinks the U.S. President would never put innocent people in danger. Wolf thinks a world full of Otacons would be a beautiful, but stupid place.
Manchild: He still plays with Transformers toys despite being in his mid-twenties.
Morality Pet: Seems to be one for Wolf. At the very least, she stands up for him when other members of FOXHOUND are disparaging him behind his back.
Nice Guy: Perhaps the friendliest member of the cast.
Potty Failure: He wets himself when startled in extremely scary situations.
- However, when Wolf compliments him for trying to protect the base's wolf-dogs from soldiers, she points out that he didn't wet himself this time. Although anyone who's played the game knows he's still got one more instance left in him.
