Early life
John was born in 1935, and was just a child when he learnt the Allied Nations lost to the Axis nations due to the usage of Kal-El (Earth-NR). During the 1950's he voluntarily joined the United States Army, even knowing what Superman can do. His friendly nature, tenacity, empathy, and unique charisma earned him the respect of others, helping him become a Green Beret.

Operation Snake Eater
In 1964, John was sent on a mission to rescue a defecting German scientist, Abraham Erskine, who had created a super soldier serum that would place men in peak physical condition. Infiltrating an eastern European forest, he operated under the code name Naked Snake. On the mission, he successfully escorted Erskine out of the military base he was held in, and got into a secretly staged fight with undercover CIA agent Adam. However, Erskine was kidnapped by a German officer and held hostage once again. Now Snake had a new mission, called Operation Snake Eater, that involved rescuing Erskine again and kill the German officer that held him hostage. During this time, he made contact with Adam and another undercover CIA agent. When Snake successfully infiltrated the base, he was captured by the German officer and was tortured with electric prods and finally had his eye gouged out. Afterward, Snake escaped from his prison cell and saved the exposed CIA agents and Erskine. After this, John was awarded a medal of honor, given the new code name Big Boss, and watched Erskine transform Steve Rogers into Captain America.
