6 Skull Face Is Major Zero
TheRumour:OneofthebigmysteriesofThePhantomPainsofaristheidentityofSkullFace,the
villainous,heavilydeformedXOFcommanderwho,strangelyenough,weevenseeridinginajeep
withBigBossinthelatesttrailerastheyarriveataMetalGearhangar.Earlyspeculationtended
towardsthe
idea
that
perhaps
Skull
Face
was
Volgin,
who
had
somehow
survived
his
apparent
demiseinMGS3,andthiswasfurtherfueledbythefieryapparitionofVolginthatisseeninthe
hospitalsectionofThePhantomPain:foreshadowing,perhaps?Still,afarmoreinteresting(and
likely)suggestionisthatSkullFaceis,infact,MajorZerohimself.HowLikelyIsIt?HideoKojima

KojimahasalsocomparedSkullFacetoBatmansClayface,whichwhilequiteprobablyinreference
tohisliteralphysicalappearance,couldalsobeahintthat,likeClayface,SkullFaceisamasterof
disguise, and his grotesque appearance ismerely an elaboratemask.One key factorworking
againstthe
theory
is
that
Skull

had
been

to
have
