Line 44:
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: The Solid Eye System.
* [[Female Gaze]]
* [[Flashback Nightmare]]: Mentioned a few times in his appearances. The first time was in ‘’[[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]]’’ when encountering Big Boss at Zanzibar Land, where he states that he took the mission to get rid of the nightmares relating to Outer Heaven that he experienced since his mission to Outer Heaven. In ‘’[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]’’, its strongly implied that Snake was suffering from nightmares from Shadow Moses (contacting Pliskin while Snake is asleep will have him mumbling something before abruptly screaming Liquid's name, presumably this part was during their fight on REX). Finally, in ‘’[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]’’, not only does Snake have a nightmare regarding his entry into Shadow Moses, the player even plays the nightmare in Act 4.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: And he's proud of it! Good doesn't need to be nice...!
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Variation in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]''. Because of his rapidly aging body, the FOXDIE virus that Naomi Hunter injected into him during the Shadow Moses Incident was slowly mutating to the point that, by the time three months passed, FOXDIE would kill indiscriminately within three months before killing Snake another three months, all after he spent his life eliminating Metal Gears, he would essentially become a bioweapon, something Naomi even lampshades. It was barely subverted, however, when Big Boss reveals that the new FOXDIE uprooted the old, meaning he was no longer a biological threat to the world.
Line 93:
He later goes on to found the private military company Militaires Sans Frontieres and the black ops group FOXHOUND. In the first ‘’Metal Gear’’ game Big Boss secretly leads the uprising at Outer Heaven and sends FOXHOUND rookie Solid Snake to investigate it, not expecting that he will actually survive. In ‘’Metal Gear 2’’ Big Boss takes control of Zanzibar Land and kidnaps a scientist who developed an alternative fuel source. Solid Snake is sent in to rescue the scientist, and ultimately kills Big Boss with a makeshift flamethrower.
 
Originally the [[Big Bad]] of the first two [[Metal Gear]] games (the latter of the two, [[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]], giving him shades of an [[Anti-Villain]]), Big Boss undergoes a massive dose of [[Character Development]] during his stint as a [[Player Character]], becoming more of a [[Tragic Hero]].
-----
* [[Alliterative Name|Alliterative]] [[Code Name]]
Line 133:
* [[Fallen Hero]]
* [[Final First Hug]]: {{spoiler|With Solid Snake}}
* [[Flashback Nightmare]]: It's implied in [[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]] that Big Boss himself suffered from nightmares from the battlefield (he reacts to Snake's mention of nightmares with some recognition). In [[Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops]], Big Boss awakes from a nightmare that presumably was flashing back to his capture by the FOX unit and Null. In [[Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker]], the two instances that Big Boss was unconscious, he had dreams relating to his fights against The Boss in [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]].
* [[Good-Looking Privates]]
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]
Line 157:
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[Tragic Hero]]
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: It's strongly implied that he underwent this when under The Boss's tutelage and when joining FOX. In regards to the former, she tells Volgin (who at the time was electrocuting him with electric shocks that was heavily implied by him to be around ten million volts) that it wouldn't break him as she trained him not to, and in the case of the latter, Cunningham stated that his attempts at beating him wouldn't even qualify as torture to Snake due to his former FOX membership.
* {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]}}
* [[Unfortunate Name]]: Although his codename, Naked Snake, was intended to be a reference to the fact that he doesn't have any equipment or weapons on him besides for the clothes on his back, some characters in the sequels seem to misinterpret it as meaning that the codename meant that he was literally naked when he got it.
Line 172:
-----
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Given Fox's major role in both, ''Metal Gear 2'' and ''Metal Gear Solid'', and the way Snake talks about him in later games as if Fox was some sort of mentor during the Outer Heaven incident, it's very surprising at how little Fox actually does in the first ''Metal Gear''. He gets kidnapped, Snake rescues him, and he disappears for the rest of the game. You can even [[Foreshadowing|beat him to death with your bare fists]] which has little to no effect on the rest of the game game.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Unfortunately, thanks to Liquid, goes ''back'' on being dead - ''[[Killed Off for Real|for good]]''.
* [[Badass]]: The original Cyborg Ninja.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Not necessarily enjoying battle, but he does feel as though he needs war, as he isn't able to function in society if he is deprived of it.
Line 257:
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: To Solid Snake.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Miller's voice actors in the Japanese and English versions are different between Metal Gear Solid and Peace Walker. Justified, as {{spoiler|the former was actually an imposter}}.
** A meta-example also exists: In the original release of [[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]], Master Miller looked like an asian american (almost resembling George Takei). However, by Metal Gear Solid, and especially the rereleases of [[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]], Miller looks blond with shades.
* [[Retcon]]: In Miller's original backstory, he was third generation Japanese American, and his grandparents immigrated to America sixty years prior to his birth. It was changed in Peace Walker to him being born in Japan, with his father being a GHQ officer under Whitney.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Although its not likely to be intentional, some fans have noted that he resembled either [[Johnny Bravo]] or [[Resident Evil|Albert Wesker]].
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: Miller possesses sunglasses for every instance of his appearances (save for the initial release of Metal Gear 2), even at times when it wouldn't have been beneficial at all (eg, when driving during a storm).
* [[Taking You with Me]]: In the backstory tape regarding when he and Snake first met, he had been severely wounded by Big Boss and the Militaires Sans Frontieres, with his own guerilla army also being wiped out. He attempts to kill Big Boss by luring him close and then blowing themselves up with a grenade. Big Boss actually managed to keep the grenade shut, and also save Miller's life as well.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: In the English and Japanese versions of Metal Gear Solid and its remake, the Twin Snakes, both Master Miller and Liquid Snake share the same voice actor. {{spoiler|Makes sense, since the latter is impersonating the former.}}
