Before she reaches the Control Room, Samus is confronted by the SA-X. She manages to reduce it to its base X form, though it flees before she can absorb it. She reaches the docking bay, only to find her ship missing and an [[Omega Metroid]] waiting in its place. It attacks her, leaving her at the brink of death. Before it can kill her, however, the SA-X appears, assumes its Samus form, and attacks the Omega Metroid with its Ice Beam. The Omega Metroid damages it and permanently reduces it to its base form. Samus absorbs the SA-X, regains the Ice Beam, and brutally assaults the Omega Metroid with shots to its chest. It dies, Samus's ship returns, and she escapes the station just before it collides with SR388, obliterating both. | Before she reaches the Control Room, Samus is confronted by the SA-X.

=== ZDR Incident === | |||
{{Main|Metroid Dread}} | |||
After an unknown amount of time, Samus receives a mission from the Federation. An X parasite was spotted on a planet known as [[ZDR]], and Samus is tasked with investigating it after the Federation's [[Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifier]] robots go missing. Samus lands on the planet, but quickly loses her abilities. She ends up deep in the planet's crust. As she explores the planet, attempting to get back to her ship, she encounters Quiet Robe, a Chozo. Quiet Robe informs Samus of the one responsible for the EMMI's disappearence, [[Raven Beak]], who is attempting to get Samus's DNA with the EMMI robots. Unfortunately, Quiet Robe is killed shortly after this. Samus proceeds to explore more, regaining most of her lost abilities. While exploring, she accidentally releases the X Parasites from their containment, which causes them to take over the local ecosystem. | |||
After this, she searches for Raven Beak, who she finally encounters. Raven Beak wants to use Samus's Metroid DNA to take over the galaxy, as he believes the Metroids are great weapons for achieving his plan. Samus, unknowningly becoming more Metroid, fights him, kills his X Parasite, thereby ending his plan and destroying ZDR in the process. She flies off, in search of a new mission. {{clear}} | |||

In a colorized Metroid II, Samus has red hair. | *Samus Aran was named after Brazilian football player [[wikipedia:Edson Arantes do Nascimento|Edson Arantes do Nascimento]], more famously known as Pelé. Developer Hiroji Kiyotake was a football fan and mistook Pelé's actual name as "Samus Arantes Nascimentos".<ref>{{cite person|quote=Akinori Sao: About 10 years ago when I did a magazine interview, I heard from Sakamoto-san that you’re a football fan and took that name from the real name of Pelé, the King of Football.<br />Hiroji Kiyotake: Yeah. (laughs) Even though it may not really be his name…<br />Akinori Sao: Yeah, it isn’t. (laughs)<br />Hiroji Kiyotake: I thought so.

*The Zero Suit takes on several different forms throughout Metroid games. The first-ever depiction of the Zero Suit was in Metroid Zero Mission, Samus' start as a freelance Bounty Hunter. The Zero Suit covers Samus completely from neck-to-toe in a cyan, skin-tight bodysuit with magenta Chozo sigils on her back, left breast, and the back of her left hand. Differences between the zero suits appear in Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime 3, Metroid Other M, and Metroid Samus Returns. The Zero Suit has no canon name within any Metroid game. | *The Zero Suit takes on several different forms throughout Metroid games.
