In 2001, a sequel named Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was released for PlayStation 2, which introduced the new character,
named Raiden.
In Metal Gear Solid 2, players take on the role of the ever popular Solid Snake, as well as a young rookie agent
named Raiden.
Sure, Snake still appeared in the 2001 PlayStation 2 release, but players took control of a new protagonist
named Raiden for the bulk of the game.
The name, I assume, comes from the Mortal Kombat character
named Raiden that can shoot lightning.

One final thought, I wonder if anyone filed a lawsuit against faulty advertising on the company, for those of you who fisrt bought it did it once show

In Metal Gear Solid 2, when Solid Snake was in disguise and we were left to deal with
Raiden as our main character, Solid Snake's cover
name was even «Pliskin.»
At the start of the game, players are prompted to write their

Raiden's solo offering is a memorable and highly - important addition to the long - standing Metal Gear
name.
Set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Revengeance picks up the story of badass cyborg
Raiden — the universally hated lead character of Metal Gear Solid 2 that nobody wanted to play as but had to, and the mysterious, awesome side - character of Metal Gear Solid 4 that everybody wanted to play as but couldn't — as he finds himself caught up in a massive battle with a private military corporation by the
name of Desperado that's trying to kickstart another war.

Raiden throws away a set of dog tags with the player's
name on them, signifying that he is no longer a puppet.
Anyways, we know now that
Raiden's real
name is Jack.
