The Most Iconic Video Game Characters of All Time

Solid Snake

Snake is the protagonist from the Metal Gear Solid series, a game that pretty much invented the use of stealth mechanics and implemented real military tactics into a hand-controlled setting. Metal Gear Solid is fun and entrancing, but it's the comedic relief that Solid Snake has to offer that ties the whole game together. Without Snake, the plot of MGS would come through as pretentious, but when the main character takes himself so seriously that it can be viewed as a joke, that's genius character design.
