{{Quote|ONE? ...Are you saying there is more than one SA-X?|[[Samus Aran]]}}


The '''SA-X''' strain of [[X Parasite]] was created by the infected sections of [[Samus Aran|Samus Aran's]] [[Power Suit]]. An SA-X awakens in the Quarantine Bay and escapes using a [[Power Bomb]], and begins wreaking havoc throughout the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L Research Station]]. Like all X, SA-X can reproduce asexually. As a result, there were at least 10 SA-X on board the station towards the end of ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''.
The '''SA-X''', presumably an abbreviation for Samus Aran-X, strain of [[X Parasite]] was created by the infected sections of [[Samus Aran|Samus Aran's]] [[Power Suit]]. An SA-X awakens in the Quarantine Bay and escapes using a [[Power Bomb]], and begins wreaking havoc throughout the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|B.S.L Research Station]]. Like all X, SA-X can reproduce asexually. As a result, there were at least 10 SA-X on board the station towards the end of ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''.


Throughout the events of ''Metroid Fusion'', Samus is instructed constantly to avoid any SA-X encountered, since they are exponentially stronger than Samus in her weakened state, and have [[Ice Beam]]s, Samus' newfound crippling weakness as a side effect of the Metroid Vaccine. Samus stands no chance against an SA-X until she obtains weapons that can even damage one (the [[Ice Missile]] and [[Plasma Beam]]).

Even with these weapons, Samus at first only manages to damage the SA-X to the point where it transforms to a beastly creature. Once this creature is defeated, the SA-X reverts to a blue Core-X, but escapes instead of facing her like that. This Core-X is later absorbed by Samus after losing again to the [[Omega Metroid]]. Because she absorbs a copy of her [[Power Suit]], she gains access to all of her former upgrades, as well as reverting to her real Varia Suit's color scheme. With the suit, she gains the Ice Beam, which she uses to defeat the [[Omega Metroid]].
