Mother Brain as she appeared in Metroid: Zero Mission

Mother Brain is a recurring character in the Metroid series. She is an organic supercomputer located on Planet Zebes, working for the Space Pirates. She is a powerful boss in Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid: Zero Mission. The Metroid Manga explains that Mother Brain was created by the Chozo, and became their overseer, hence the name Mother Brain.

In Super Metroid

In Super Metroid, Mother Brain transforms after her initial defeat in her glass tank. She takes on the form of a highly powerful bipedal being. She also possesses the Hyper Beam, not to be confused with the PED's Hyper Beam. It is actually impossible for Samus to defeat Mother Brain; only the programmed appearance of the infant Metroid allows Samus to complete the boss fight.

In Metroid Other M

Mother Brain has made an appearance in a trailer.
