**Project Schlangenbiss**, which in English translates to **Project Snakebite**, was a Project commissioned by the Organization and was led by Doctor Arnim Zola as a sequel of sorts to Arnim's previous Winter Soldier Program for H.Y.D.R.A.. The Project was simple. Take one of the greatest soldiers in history, bring them back to life and make them work as a soldier, agent and spy for the Organization.

The soldier in question was a simple choice. Snake, AKA Big Boss. Snake, first name Jack, was declared the perfect soldier for his time by the time he died his untimely death in 2014 due to the FOXDIE virus contracted from his clone son, Solid Snake. Arnim had found his files deep within the Organization archives of the world's soldiers and, although the Organization higher-ups initially resisting to the idea of Snake, he was chosen for the project.

Snake was taken out of cryo-freeze, his body having been frozen as all soldiers which such a high record would have been. Then, over many months, Snake's DNA was tuned to variants of the Super Soldier Serum along with other enhancement drugs. Eventually, by the year 2054 (the project having been started in 2053), the formula was done: the Schlangenbiss serum.

The serum was injected into Snake's now fresh body, all scientists aboard the project including Zola hoping to God it would work. Unfortunately, the project seemed to be a failure. No adjustments to Snake's physical body or mind were shown. Just as they were ready to re-freeze the body, Snake's arms began to twitch. This is something Arnim noticed and at the last minute stopped the men from freezing him. Snake then jumped to life, looking around the area. The infamous soldier then uttered 4 words: "Kept you waiting, Huh?". Snake was back, even if he was his older self.

Now all that was needed was the psychological side. Snake was taken aside by Zola, Snake wanting to know exactly what'd happened. At this time Snake was also in a medical bed for 2 weeks to measure his vitals in which Snake grew younger by the hour before going back to his physical prime (the age of 30). Zola then proceeded to explain the current state of the world and that Snake was needed by the Organization. Arnim painted the Organization as the perfect place for Snake, comparing it to the best parts of his older work forces such as the US military, FOXHOUND and even Outer Heaven, Snake's personal private army he started.

Although initially apprehensive, Snake was convinced to join. From here on out Snake was kept a secret from most, only being used on special missions and, unlike in the previous Winter Soldier and as the Winter Soldier was, Snake was not frozen between missions as to keep his mental state at it's peek. Snake was also not subject to any mental torment such as brain resets and electro-shock therapy, rather all the bad secrets of the Organization were kept quiet from him as to keep him believing that what he was doing was right. Arnim Zola's Project Schlangenbiss was yet another success for him to wear proudly, Snake was back!
