Line 188:
* The Boss from [[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]] is the United States' Queen of this trope. By the very end it is revealed {{spoiler|that she participated in major Nuclear Bomb's testing, became the first human in space before Yuri Gagarin, participated in the Normandy landing, the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and Project Mercury}}.
** Well, to be fair, the [[Metal Gear]] universe is very AU about these things. {{spoiler|Like the fact that the Boss's unit single-handedly ended World War 2.}}
** In-universe, Johnny Sasaki lives and breathes this trope. By sheer coincidence, he winds up getting involved as a minor [[Mook]] in all of Snake's missions <ref> As a member of the Genome Soldiers in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', as one of the Gurlukovich mercenaries in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', and as a member of Rat Patrol 01 in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]''</ref>, and his grandfather (also named Johnny) personally met Big Boss while serving as a guard at Grosnyj Grad in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]''. Despite his stupidity and general bumbling nature, he's one of the few recurring characters to actually survive all that insanity--which Snake happily lampshades.
{{quote|"How the ''hell'' did you survive ten years?"}}
* Galen "Starkiller" Marek, the [[Villain Protagonist]] of ''[[Star Wars]]: [[The Force Unleashed]]''. If it is to be believed, he is the one responsible for {{spoiler|bringing together the various Rebel faction leaders in order to form the Alliance.}} To top it all off, {{spoiler|the design of his family's crest is posthumously adopted as the symbol for the new Alliance.}}
