What happens to the third English strain that Eli was having?

[himmatsj]

I just remembered about this. What happened to it? Does it feature in later MGS games?

Also, how was Quiet infected by the English parasite? Since Skull Face only seemed to have three?

Watch the CE video. Snake stopped Eli. The parasite in Eli was already developing to the point where it would kill him, and snake's guys were going to napalm the entire island to get rid of all the remaining parasites, so Snake left Eli with a gun and 1 bullet, so he could kill himself (so he wouldn't have to die from the parasite or napalm cleansing). After Snake left, the third boy appeared, magic'd all parasites out of Eli and dropped them, and the two of them flew off into the horizon.

Thanks guys. I watched the Mission 51. They should have just included it in the PC version too. At least some measure of closure.

On the Steam card, it is called the Third Child (I always thought it was a girl due to the hair/physique).

No he said Third Child (there was no aka) - and that's the official name when reffering to Psycho Mantis in TPP.

yup but you can see why ppl jump to solidus tho ? wasnt he around in that timeline? i know he was a later clone vs solid and liquid.

Just some things I need clearing up folks.

1) How come Eli calls Snake "father"? How does he know he is Snake's clone?

2) If he is a clone, why does he have blonde hair?

i think in 80s he was like a young adult, he had fun with Raiden n stuff
Anyway i was referring to the fact that Solidus is sometimes called The Third Son of BB, so some people jumped the gun on The Third Child.....who is LITERALLY a mini version of Mantis. Mini-M

I re-watched his two fights vs Vamp another day. Say what you want about MGS4, those were awesome. Vamp braking his neck just to dodge a sword. Mmmm mmm mmm

Uuuhhh... are you sure Eva is the mom (and even if that was true, there would be no genes from Eva whatsoever beside mitochondrial DNA)? Anyway, liquid is blond for some weird reasons... he's supposed to have inherited the dominant alleles of BB genes but somehow he's blond... probably what made him think he got the recessive genes (which Solid Snake had... and he managed to beat Liquid ass anyway... so the moral of the story his: dominant alleles doesn't mean more fit for survival).

[BalboaJR]

eva being blonde does not justify the hair color.

liquid is not a exact clone, he has only recessive genes. and solid the dominant ones.

solidus is the perfect clone.

wrong :P Liquid had the best genes Solid had the crappy end of the stick, Liquid only thought he was the weak one.

im no expert on DNA cloning but would you need her egg so her DNA ? but yes she is the mom and in MGS 4 takes the title big mama.
