Editor Note
There's a fan-art that I had found on Pixiv, even though it's an Yaoi between Venom Snake x Miller, however his appearance during his time in MSF had brought me an attention how interesting it would be if there's a story starring with him before he became Venom Snake and Metal Gear Solid V: Start Point is part of my good ideas of how to tell the story about him. But I know that Venom Snake represents for the players in Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain as Hideo Kojima stated, with how he was more than just a Silent Protagonist than again that he's a player thought of course, player can design his real self, inserting name, birth and more, of course Venom Snake really represent for us a player.

However, Start Point will be cover the story of Venom Snakes origin that tells story about him in the past before and during his time in MSF, also how his loyal toward Big Boss is how become much inspired to him during his golden time as a Combat Medic, although this story also explore a new side of his character and his backstory. Though I can't say much, but seeing if there's a story idea about his origin that would make the story of Phantom Pain will be deeper and meaningful also painful. But once again, Venom Snake is a represents for a Players, but this comic might can be possibly canon regarding about his origin prior to him become a Big Boss's Phantom. You all might disagree with me or just feel like it's bad taste, but feel free to ignore it, but I see this as an interesting idea for me.

It would also be great if he had a same age as a Big Boss, well... just guessing how interesting would be, or could be 4 years younger than the Real Big Boss, well who knows.

UPDATED: I just changing the titles of the Comic Prequels and gonna title it as Metal Gear Solid V: The Man of No Name in order to match his character and his story as well, also his problem issues toward personality disorder, identity crisis, and more.

Synopsis
(Major Spoilers Alert from Mission 46/Epilogue Mission: The Man who Sold the World)

''Do you know the legendary soldier Big Boss from Diamond Dogs? actually you might hadn't aware if he's truly a Big Boss due for his role in Operation Snake, and the one who put a stop a Peace Walker, but is he really the one.''

''No... you might think it's him, but not necessary was him either, or is he just a mimic from the one who called himself Big Boss?, or is he truly the one who we know him now as a commander of Diamond Dogs? if you already reached those answer very critically and you might had realize for all this time he wasn't the true big boss you knew all along, he wasn't the man that you knew all along during establishment of Diamond Dogs, wasn't a man who took down Skull Face, wasn't a man who involved for stopping peace walker, wasn't a man who complete the operation of Sneak Eater and become a Big Boss.''

If the "Real" Big Boss has work separately from Kaz and Ocelot to build the "True" outer heaven, then who is the Big Boss that came with us in Diamond Dogs?

''If you call him as Big Boss's Phantom that's makes more sense, and if you called him a Medic MSF, well... yes, but you can throw that away, but is everyone ever aware where he came from? who he ever from the very beginning? and why even through he had learned the truth, but accepting his role as a Big Boss or Big Boss's phantom?...''

This comic story will brings you to the beginning of Venom Snake's story who he used to be as a Special Ranked Medic in MSF, but his past is much complicated and non of it was better for him to remember, or he has no past to begin with, this story will truly how it leads to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain events.

Trivia

 * The titled of Comic prequel series, The Man of No Name is heavily based on who Jack (Medic) was from his early years to now, no matter where he lives now and no matter who become now, he won't deny that he has no real name to begin with but as just as Nameless and Identity crisis is also become part of the story how he has suffered through and suffered by something that he didn't know which is a true self or true things for him, struggle to find if his existence in this world was real, and the title is symbolize of who he is prior becoming a Big Boss's Phantom and Venom "Punished" Snake.
 * In certain of how in his early years that he uses a different name and identities for his own free will where he choose to be, but during in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain the things is different now, he now has different name and identities not because his free will, but because of his mission and role as Big Boss or his Big Boss's phantom which he would carry on for the rest of his life until his death, which his fate been sealed in the Outer Heaven Uprising at 1995 A.D.
 * This is also as a representation based on Players of how he can name Venom Snake's True Name as No Name is also representation of players as Big Boss, and players can still choose whenever the name they want to give it to him, while Jack is also a false name that were given by Big Boss during in MSF. Which means it wouldn't change who Venom Snake was as a player, but this comic delves deep into his past, which is also part of Player's past as well.
 * The Man of No Name will covers the events prior to after the Peace Walker Incident, while the climax of the comics will set during Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and the final chapter of the comics will took adapting the ending scene of Mission 46/Epilogue Mission: The Man who Sold the World.
