'''Samus Aran''' is an intergalactic [[Bounty Hunter]] and the main protagonist of the ''Metroid'' series. She first appeared in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' in 1986 and has been included in every ''Metroid'' game since. Her home planet is [[K-2L]], an earth colony.

She first appeared in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' in 1986 and has been included in every ''Metroid'' game since. Her home planet is [[K-2L]], an earth colony. Samus Aran is a bounty hunter of prestige fame, often employed by the [[Galactic Federation]]. Samus' history is somewhat mysterious and is often left with wide gaps. Her past is best described in the [[Metroid Manga]], although it is debatable whether the manga is canon or non-canon, though images from the Manga appear in the Japanese "[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]" Gallery. Other than the Metroid Manga, primary sources for her history are ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' and ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. | ||

Much to Samus' dismay, a [[Space Pirate]] flagship came to the innocent colony and a raid started, led by none other than [[Ridley]]. Samus' three-year old mind could not comprehend the nature of violence, and asked Ridley if they could become friends. Feeling humiliated, Ridley made a strike to kill Samus, but her mother got in the way, taking a fatal hit herself. Rodney also sacrificed himself to destroy the flagship. Ridley left the scene, but one mistake was left under all the dust of the battle; the mistake was indeed Samus Aran, the only survivor of the attack. After her mourning sorrows, she vowed to have her revenge on Ridley. | Much to Samus' dismay, a [[Space Pirate]] flagship came to the innocent colony and a raid started, led by none other than [[Ridley]].

The Chozo voyagers brought Samus to their home planet, [[Zebes]]. Unfortunately, [[Mother Brain]] predicted that Samus' frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes. The Chozo hoped to get evade this problem by infusing her with Chozo blood and giving her the [[Power Suit]], a bio-mechanical suit with many weapons and functions, thus giving birth to the powerful bounty hunter popularly known in today's [[Metroid (series)|Metroid franchise]]. For many years to come, Samus was taught by the Chozo their culture and their ways of battle. As a teenager, her physical attributes far overwhelmed those of a regular human's. However, when the time came, Samus left the Chozo to join the [[Galactic Federation]]. | ||

After it is stolen by Ridley, she returns to Zebes to find it. Upon arrival she finds Zebes once again crawling with [[Space Pirate]]s along with her old adversaries, Ridley and [[Kraid]]. Eventually she discovers that the Space Pirates have managed to rebuild Mother Brain and are once again planning to turn the Metroids into a weapon of mass destruction. Samus fights her way through the Space Pirates' defenses and confronts Mother Brain in the newly constructed [[Tourian|Tourian area]].

Samus has appeared in all three games of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. Her basic special attack is her Charge Beam, which she begins charging when the B button is pressed. She will finish charging when the B button is pressed again, or the beam is fully charged. This can then be fired by pressing B once more. She can fire Missiles, which can either home in on opponents, but with weak attack power, or fully charge them, at the expense of their homing capabilities. She also has the ability to switch to [[Morph Ball]] form temporarily, in order to drop Morph Bombs, which can be used to perform 'bomb jumps'. She uses her Morph Ball form for another attack, Screw Attack, which attacks opponents while jumping highly. She also has a Grapple Beam, which can be used to grab opponents, or the edge of the stage, helping her chances of survival. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], she also gains the ability to switch between [[Power Suit]] and [[Zero Suit Samus|Zero Suit]] form, via her Final Smash. For her Power Suit Final Smash, Zero Laser, she fires a massive full-power beam, the power of which is so great it shatters her Power Suit, leaving her in Zero Suit form. The broken remnants of the Power Suit can then be picked up and thrown at opponents to cause a small amount of damage. To regain the Power Suit, Zero Suit Samus must utilize her Final Smash again. | Samus has appeared in all three games of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''.
