Combat Pragmatist: He has no problem doing whatever is necessary to survive and get the edge in combat, whether it's carving out a man-sized hole in a wall with gunfire, shooting a steam pipe to distract his Arch-Enemy or gunning down a quartet of goons by tricking them into a "Bangkok Rules" gunfight where he doesn't follow the rules.When Romulus and Remus offer Snake a man and woman as his "entertainment" for the night, he roughly kicks them both out of his room.

While there's no shortage of women who show interest in him (including the unnamed woman in the Chock Full O'Nuts store, Taslima and plenty of prostitutes in L.A.), he's never seen in a relationship and never gets a chance to do anything more than light flirting due to the confines of the current mission.The Cavalry: Shows up to help the President, Brain and Maggie escape the top of the World Trade Center when they're besieged by a group of insane Native residents who've sabotaged the glider.Catchphrase: "Call me Snake" and "The name's Plissken".16 years later in Los Angeles, he becomes upset by Taslima's death, and eventually decides to activate the Sword of Damocles worldwide as a way to equalize the playing field. He uses a Secret Test to gauge the President's reaction to the loss of their allies in New York (and uses his response as his decision to swap the tape with the secret of nuclear fusion).
Byronic Hero: Though Snake is generally cold and uncaring, he does have a subtle moral compass and hates injustice. Breaking the Fourth Wall: Snake looks directly into the camera at the end of L.A. The second is caused when he's arrested for gun-running in another state. The first time, it's caused by a botched robbery on the Federal Reserve. Boxed Crook: Both films begin with Snake in this situation. Boots of Toughness: He's always seen wearing some heavy futuristic boots which complete his already badass appareance. He also becomes fond of it, to the point that he steals it back from the thug who took it from him just before escaping the island. Badass Longcoat: He upgrades to one given to him by the government before he heads into Los Angeles. Badass Biker: He proves that he's more than capable of riding a motorcycle when he gets to L.A. In the sequel, he gives the 1911 he takes from the Surgeon General Of Beverly Hills to Taslima, though this does absolutely no good, as she dies in the next scene. The look on his face makes it clear that he's doing so because Brain's death got to him, and he wants to make amends by giving Maggie the chance for revenge. During the climax of the original film, Snake voluntarily gives his signature revolver to Maggie so she can attempt a Last Stand against the Duke. Anti-Hero: Snake doesn't care about anyone else's problems but his own, is just as loathed as he is respected and leaves a body count (friend and foe alike) in his wake.

The novelization goes into more detail about Snake's past heroics, including his involvement in the Battle of Leningrad and his service history. The finished film only refers to this incident vaguely, treating it more as a Noodle Incident than anything. The original, unused opening sequence for New York shows the Federal Reserve robbery and reveals that Snake originally worked with a partner, who he refused to leave behind. Afraid of Needles: He tells Cronenberg that he doesn't like them, and he's right to be suspicious, considering he gets injected with an Explosive Leash immediately after this. The Ace: Is considered this by a lot of people due to his exploits, including being awarded two Purple Hearts and being the youngest soldier to be personally decorated by the president for bravery note Which most likely means he received the Medal of Honor, though this is never explicitly stated, for his actions in Leningrad and Siberia. '80s Hair: Snake is never seen without his signature mullet hairstyle. He later enacts a second suicide mission 13 years later, when he is conscripted by a fundamentalist President to retrieve the launch controls for the "Sword of Damocles", a superweapon that can shift the balance of power in his favor, as well as assassinate his rebellious daughter, Utopia. Federal Reserve, and is conscripted into helping rescue the President in exchange for a full Presidential pardon, under threat of an Explosive Leash. As the original film begins, he is arrested for his role in an attempted robbery at the U.S. Snake Plissken is a decorated Special Forces soldier/war hero who turned to a criminal life after feeling he was betrayed by his country.
