In the beginning...
There was GreyFox. This was an innocent callsign for a man who was thought of as the perfect warrior, so his DNA was extracted and then experimentation took place.
I think Solid and Liquid came about because Solid is all the good parts of the DNA and Liquid is the bad stuff.
During the process of filtration, you put the solution onto filter paper. The liquid goes through and becomes solute, and the solid that's left over, well, I forget the scientific name for it, but it's the "good stuff."
Solidus is refined Solid and there you have it,
Les Enfants Terrible.
It's a metaphor, or at least that's my vague theory.
But yeah, VulcanRaven, SniperWolf, PsychoMantis, it goes on like that.
MGS2 was more inventive. I'll congratulate the first person to tell me why one of the character's names is Vamp.
Hugh Jackman: Perfect voice, physique and makeup, there you go.
And Japanese directed movies are good!
Oh and uh, the X Men names were invented by Marvel to battle DC Comics, who had lame names like Batman, Robin and Catgirl. They responded with cool names, like Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Storm.
Who wants cake? I've got a little slice of hell for everyone.
