MB, also known as Melissa Bergman, is a gynoid (female android) constructed using the intellectual data of Mother Brain.[1] She first appears in the Cryosphere, Sector 2 of the Bottle Ship, gazing down at Samus as the latter discovers the frozen corpse of Galactic Federation 07th Platoon member Maurice Favreau, whose murder MB actually witnessed prior to Samus's arrival to the sector.[2]

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Samus tracks her to a storage facility in the sector, where she convinces MB that she means her no harm. Before MB can reply, the two are ambushed by the RB176 Ferrocrusher and are briefly separated while Samus takes down the mech. When they reunite in the Bioweapon Research Center in Sector 1 (the Biosphere), MB, revealing herself as Madeline Bergman, provides information on the cause of the distress signal received earlier. She tells Samus that the Galactic Federation had been using the facility to propagate a force of bioweapons, with Zebesians at its core.[3] However, this plan was complicated by the presence of Ridley, who turned the various creatures aboard the facility hostile,[4][5] forcing Bergman to send out the distress signal because she feared for her life. As Samus ruminates over what she has been told, Bergman's story is far from finished. She reveals that the Federation was also propagating Metroids, made possible from cellular DNA taken from Samus's Power Suit.[6] and when Samus remarks that Mother Brain's telepathy is needed to control Metroids, Bergman reveals that she and other scientists used Mother's artificial intelligence to create an android they called MB.

As Samus leaves for Sector Zero to exterminate the Metroids and MB, the latter is confronted by an unknown assailant. Upon Samus's return, MB is gone, replaced by the corpse of James Pierce. Following a climatic encounter with a Queen Metroid, Samus meets the real Madeline Bergman, who tells her the person she met earlier was in fact MB. From Bergman, Samus learns that what MB had said earlier was true, except that the distress signal was sent not because of out-of-control specimens but because of MB's rampage.

MelissaBergmanTrophyWiiU.png

NTSC-U: When Samus first encounter her on the Bottle Ship, she introduced herself as Madeline. Only later did Samus discover that she was actually an android named Melissa, also called MB. As Melissa's hatred for humans grew and became more apparent, the human scientists attempted (and failed) to reprogram her.

PAL: When Samus first encountered her on the Bottle Ship, she introduced herself as Madeline. Only later did Samus discover that she was actually an android called Melissa, host to the artificial intelligence known as MB, and that she bore a grudge against humans for trying to reprogram her after she developed emotions.
