Trivia

 * Raiden is the third Konami character to get into Death Battle. The first two were Bomberman and Solid Snake.
 * He is also the second Metal Gear character to get in. The first was Solid Snake.
 * Raiden is the fifth cyborg combatant, after RoboCop, Sektor, Fulgore, and Darth Vader.
 * He's the second combatant named Raiden, the first being Raiden from the Mortal Kombat series.
 * Coincidentally, they both fought a Marvel Comics character.
 * This Raiden, however, is the only one to have won his Death Battle.
 * Raiden is the first cyborg combatant who doesn't fight a combatant who utilizes technology to fight. (Although Wolverine's adamantium skeleton was a product of science, it's still a part of his natural biology).
