@Turkykilla7 Snakes mind was in his 40s but his body was the age of like a 70 year old. Not 45-50. My dad's 50 and he looks 30 years younger than Old Snake.

I chuckled at Heihachi. I was actually thinking of Wang from Tekken though.

if bill wasn't on here i would leave the website immediatly and for grandma it would be awesome. ps: johnson is a homo who was scared of grunts so he hid behind his men, order the chief around while he was relaxing, and got fucking captured everytime he was actually out in battle.

Even though this isn't that much into computer gaming what about John Mullins from Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2? He kicked a lot of ass, and prevented nuke launches.

Actually, in Contact Harvest they basically confirmed Johnson was a Spartan-I. The Spartan-I project was codenamed ORION, and at one point in the book it shows a listing of Johnson's Operations. ORION is on there. Also, later in the book, al-Cygni confirms he was in ORION, to which Johnson replies that its classified. Sorry, had to let my Halo nerd out for a minute. Also, I can't believe Bungie killed Johnson with Guilty Spark. WTF??? I know he shouldn't be in the Top 7, but Chaps from Gears of War would be a good addition to the list.

You just missed a chance to mention Okami (yet) again. The dancing old man with the orange on his head in the beggining of the game was pretty awesome. Great list.

The reason there is no snake is that he is like only 25 or someting. Its just his crappy DNA which makes him look old.
