Super Smash Bros. Nexus (Demo)

**Samus Aran** (サムス・アラン *Samusu Aran*) is an intergalactic Bounty Hunter and the main protagonist of the *Metroid* series.

Orphaned during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police where she served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich, but she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, though she was nonetheless recruited by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Armed in her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for her accomplishments on missions others thought impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation.

Samus broke ground early in the gaming world in the 1986 game *Metroid*, her first appearance. Originally players were under the impression that Samus was a male, as even the instruction booklet suggested this. However, completing *Metroid*in under an hour revealed Samus to be a young athletic woman. Although Samus wears the Power Suit throughout most of the *Metroid* series, she traditionally removes it at the end of most games, often as a result of satisfying certain conditions such as completing the game quickly or with a high percentage of the game's items collected or even both.

Her first appearance was in the original *Metroid*, released in 1986. Her birth planet is K-2L, an earth colony. Samus Aran is a bounty hunter of prestige fame, often employed by the Galactic Federation. Samus's history is somewhat mysterious and is often left with wide gaps. Her past is best described in the Metroid Manga, although Nintendo has never directly confirmed whether the manga is canon or non-canon; some 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*.
