Dark Samus

Dark Samus

Born from the dying Metroid Prime as it pulled the phazon from Samus’s suit, Dark Samus traveled in search of phazon. This goal would have them often come into conflict with the real Samus, first on the planet Aether by coincidence as Samus ventured there to assist a Galactic Federation ship and the planet’s inhabitants. After that Dark Samus sought her counterpart out, using her newfound abilities to corrupt and control creatures using Phazon to spread the substance across the universe.
