'''MB''', also known as '''Melissa Bergman''', is a gynoid (female android) constructed using the intellectual data of [[Mother Brain]].<ref>{{cite|We developed an AI program that would reproduce Mother Brain's thought processes.

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.<ref>{{cite|Behind closed doors, the Galactic Federation was trying to create a special forces unit composed of bioweapons.

As Samus ruminates over what she has been told, Bergman's story is far from finished. She reveals that the Federation was also propagating [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]], made possible from cellular DNA taken from Samus's [[Power Suit]].<ref>{{cite|I gave your suit a polish so you'd be at least somewhat presentable.|Galactic Federation scientist|Metroid: Other M}}</ref>, 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.
