50 Video Game Characters: 23

"It's all part of the plan"




23. Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid)

The son of the Boss, Adamska rose through the ranks to become the Major in his own specialized Spetsnaz team dubbed "Ocelot unit." He's kind of a smug jerk and also totally in love with Naked Snake(ocelot x snake squeeee lolz). Major Ocelot grew to appreciate the power of the revolver after a suggestion from his crush that he should use the gun instead of the standard Makarov handgun. Oh also he was a triple agent and weird shit and whatever who cares.

Flash forward like 40 years and Revolver Ocelot is now super evil and also insane. Dude does so much weird shit now that he's an old man and harassing Naked Snake's clone son. He developed a torture fetish from his days in Russia, he starts calling himself Shalashaska, he pretends to absorb Liquid Snake's essence into his arm, he does this thing:



And through it all, he gets more done that the fucking protagonist. He is, for lack of a better understanding, better than Solid Snake.

Over the course of the Metal Gear Solid series, Revolver Ocelot is the only character that truly becomes as outrageous as the story is. Sure, Raiden and Snake and Otacon are running around pretending this all makes sense, but Ocelot just goes batshit nuts.
