Badguy Turned Good No. 1

Cyborg Ninja / Grey Fox. Badass. Badass baddie. Oh boy, Just thinking about this now gives me motivation to sit down and play Metal Gear Solid (the Gamecube one, Twin Snakes) in one sitting. I can do it you know.

We first meet Cyborg Ninja after the duel with Revolver Ocelot when he cuts off Ocelot's hand (oo I lvoe that bloody mess). He chops up the entire room with his katana before all the C4 goes off. Oh I wanna at least watch the cinema mode if I do not feel like playing, those cut scenes are super badass.

We next meet Cyborg Ninja in this badass cutscene where he turns invisible and slices and dices and messes up all of these Genome Soldiers (Twin Snakes, not in original). Badass. Here is a screenshot.


Then Snake fights him, and he admits that he knows Solid Snake. You think "What in the world does a Cyborg Ninja want with me?" But the ninja keeps egging on Snake, telling him to try harder and he has not felt that kind of pain in years.

So Snake beats the snot out of him.

To go on, Snake has this "informer," an inside man named Deepthroat, admitting he was the one who leaked out the info on Watergate (stupid old man ruining the plot earlier this year in real life, he is no damn cyborg....) Deepthroat later reveals that he is Cyborg Ninja, and he kinda goes hiatus until the battle with Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Rex.

After Snake weakens the sonar on MGR, Cyborg Ninja (or shall I say the late Grey Fox?) enters and whips out a plasma cannon that is attached to his right arm. He gets tossed around by Rex, and then squashed like a bug. The end for him.


What makes him a badguy was that he was at first a good guy. In Metal Gear, not Solid, Grey Fox was a member of Foxhound with Solid Snake, but betrayed him using Metal Gear to take him down. Snake destroyed Metal Gear with Grey Fox inside. Then the doctors at Foxhound brought him back to life, gave him an exoskeleton, a plasma cannon, camouflage, and badass fighting techniques. Grey Fox was not pleased to have come back from the dead, that is why he wanted Snake to kick his ass. But he was laid to rest (sorta) when squashed by Rex. Poor fellow.

I enjoyed this Top 5 list immensely. Nobody else did because nobody reads this. Fools.
