Lt. Cunningham is a character in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. He is an African American member of FOX. He has an artificial leg which replaces the one he lost in Vietnam, and is FOX's arms specialist. Cunningham was formerly known under the codename of Boa when he first enrolled in FOX. His unique sneaking suit color is yellow.
Cunningham is the one who kidnapped and brought Big Boss into San Hieronymo. While he feigns loyalty to Gene, it is revealed that he is actually working under direct orders from the Pentagon. His objective was to force Gene to deploy Metal Gear and launch a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, and thus, tarnishing the CIA's reputation as an efficient organization. He was relegated to a desk job by the CIA when he lost his leg in Vietnam, and lost faith in the CIA as a result.
He attempted to gain Big Boss' cooperation, but he refused to take part in the Pentagon's plot and attacked Cunningham. Cunningham fought Big Boss in a flying hovercraft armed with a Gatling Gun, Side-Winder Missiles and a Laser. After Cunningham was defeated, he attempted to blow the San Hieronymo base with a Soviet-made Davy Crockett, but his hovercraft was badly damaged during the battle with Big Boss, causing it to explode, killing Cunningham.
