In the The Twin Snakes they actually do look identical besides hair color.
And yeah, I got that about Boss too. She looks like she could very well be Big Boss's actual mother, and not just a mother-figure. This would also fit in w/ the theme of the rest of the series.
Indeed, one suspects if it ties into the oncoming Enfants Terribles.
IE were these supersoldiers being selectively bred over the years, with the powers that be freaking out when ol Big Boss lost his peanuts. Hence the rush for genetic research in order to continue the program.. by genetic manipulation.
It'll be interesting to see where Raidenovich fits in. Is he related to Raiden, and if so is he just another "supersoldier-in-the-making".
My thinking is heavily influenced by Dune.
Of course the counterpoint is that CG characters can end up looking very "samey" if they don't have any sort of distinctive features (and for this I point to the long litany of anime style FF characters, etc..).
