That nickname you love sooo much... Wanna know how I got it? Actually, why don't I give you a demonstration? I think it's time for Jack... TO LET 'ER RIP!
Raiden

Jack, also known as Raiden, is one of the main protagonists of the Metal Gear series. He appeared in the 52nd episode of Death Battle, Wolverine VS Raiden, where he fought against Wolverine from Marvel Comics. He returned for a Bonus episode, Excalibur VS Raiden, where he fought against Excalibur and The Lotus from the Warframe series.

He also appeared in the 20th episode of DBX, Genji VS Raiden, where he fought against Genji Shimada from the Overwatch series.

History

Jack was once a young boy born in the 1980's, taken from the streets of Liberia and raised by the mysterious Solidus Snake. He was trained to be a soldier, and became a military veteran and ruthless killer before he even hit puberty. His initial objective was to rescue several hostages from a terrorist group known as the Sons of Liberty, until he discovered that the Patriots, the very people who found and reared him, have been deceiving him and controlling his actions. Jack would then team up with fellow soldier Solid Snake to take his former comrades down. His body was later heavily modified after he was captured due to his anti-Patriot activities, the trauma of various events making Jack believe his only place is on the battlefield. He gained cybernetic augmentations to various parts of his body, becoming a cyborg soldier capable of superhuman feats and mass-slaughter. Long gone was the boy named "Jack" and the cyborg warrior named "Raiden" was born.

Notes

  1. While Raiden made his proper debut in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which was released in 2001, he is implied to be the protagonist of Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (which was released a year earlier), as a piece of post-credits dialogue at the end of the game's Special Missions has the player being referred to as "Jack", Raiden's adopted name.
