Name: Dark Samus
Nickname(s): The Dark Hunter. The Worm
Age: Unknown
Height: Same as Samus
Weight: Same as Samus
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bi (though leans more towards men)
Race: Phazonite
Religion: None (though she has been worshipped as a goddess)
Alliance: Herself
Franchise: Metroid Prime
Appearence:
Normal Form
Humanoid Disguise
Weapons: As Dark Samus, the creature utilized many abilities similar to Samus, in more powerful forms. It could fire Phazon beams at enemies in the form of small shard-like bursts (the "Shrapnel Beam") and use Phazon-charged Super Missiles to blast opponents into bits. She could also do a powerful dive bomb attack, a Phazon Boost Ball that generated vast amounts of kinetic energy in alarmingly short times, and raise pillar-shaped shields of pure Phazon energy in this form. However, when Dark Samus consumed too much Phazon, she gained the disadvantages she had in her previous form: Phazon fired at her could overload and destabilize her, resulting in her generating very powerful Phazon attacks to discharge the used Phazon radiation from her body, including a pure beam of concentrated Phazon.
After her defeat, Dark Samus' abilities were further augmented. In addition to most of her previous abilities, she could now produce clones of herself (fittingly called "Dark Echoes"). After she unleashed the massive blast of Phazon at the four hunters, the corruption within them seemed to be connected to Dark Samus; after the defeat of each hunter, a strange black wraith-like entity in the shape of Dark Samus would appear above the hunters, and fly off into space, supposedly to go back to Dark Samus itself. This is how it would be able to use the abilities of the corrupted hunters, such as Ghor's Plasma Beam, Gandrayda's energy attacks, and Rundas's pillars.
Dark Samus is a very durable life-form, surviving a massive destabilization, and traveling unaided through space and freely between the Dark and Light Dimensions. It can survive in the vastness of space, travel through it, and live through the explosions of planets, even dimensions. This is how it has constantly been able to regenerate itself after defeat and fly to another planet for Phazon absorption. She is sentient and capable of long-range planning, as noted through a series of Space Pirate data logs that record the fanaticism she inspires among the mind-warped pirates. They detail her plans and how she reacts to certain events, and credit her with being something near a deity whose rule of the galaxy will be great.
Appearance Style:
1: Dark Samus finishes absorbing Phazon near her, and then looks at the enemy. She walks closer, and then fires some warning shots.

3: Dark Samus appears on the stage, and then cackles loudly
Special Moves
B: Shrapnel Beam
Up B: Phazon Screwspark
Down B: Boost Ball
Forward B: Phazon Super Missile
Away B: Dark Echoes
Final Smash: Phazon Bombardment: Dark Samus creates a massive amount of Phazon around her, and fires it at her enemies. Similar to Samus' final Smash, she temporarily experiences a period where her internal organs are revealed, and she is more susceptable to damage.
Taunts
Up Taunt: Dark Samus jumps into the air, hovers for a moment, and then expels Phazon around her
Down Taunt: Dark Samus creates a barrier of Phazon around herself for an instant. This barrier is capable of blocking attacks, but must be done the instant the attack would impact.
Side Taunt: Dark Samus laughs maniacally
Personality: manipulating and egomaniacal.
History: After Samus defeated Metroid Prime on Tallon IV by absorbing Phazon and using it as a weapon against Metroid Prime, the creature began to destabilize, and in a desperate move, it absorbed her Phazon Suit and subsequently exploded. As Samus left the planet, a new creature was born from the remains of Metroid Prime, using Samus's Phazon Suit as a shell - the being known as Dark Samus.
Dark Samus, now with a new Chozo-based shell and instincts that commanded her to absorb and spread Phazon, managed to leave Tallon IV in search of of it in a suit similar-looking to Samus, although with skeletal-looking feet, crystal-like shoulder pads, and a more menacing overall figure. She eventually discovered the planet Aether, a planet rich with Phazon. A Leviathan from Phaaze had landed on the planet fifty years prior, ripping open a second, darker dimension. Dark Samus explored Aether and absorbed any Phazon she could find on the planet.
The Space Pirates, prior to Dark Samus's arrival, had established a base on Aether. Once Dark Samus arrived, they first thought she was Samus Aran. Her dark suit and her forceful invasions to obtain Phazon confused them, and they began to refer to her as the Dark Hunter. It was a fitting title.
The real Samus eventually landed on Aether to investigate what had happened to a team of Galactic Federation marines who had landed on the planet in pursuit of a Space Pirate frigate. Samus first encountered Dark Samus in the marine base, where she followed her into a portal to Dark Aether. There, she found Dark Samus absorbing Phazon, with several shadowy creatures which Samus would soon learn to know to be the Ing, above. Dark Samus, sensing her, fired a shot at the light crystal that protected her from Dark Aether's poisonous atmosphere. With the crystal broken, the Ing stole most of Samus's power-ups. She escapes through the portal with only a few pieces of equipment intact.
The next encounter took place in the Agon Wastes, within a Space Pirate base. There, Samus had her first battle with Dark Samus. Once Dark Samus was defeated, she collapsed and disintigrated into no more than Phazon Particles in the air. Samus believed that her foe was dead after the encounter.
However, this was not the case. The particles that Dark Samus transformed into managed to reach Torvus Bog. Samus saw the cloud transform into Dark Samus, though she did not fight Samus. Instead, she merely laughed and disappeared. Samus later saw the same cloud in the Sanctuary Fortress, and it once again transformed into Dark Samus. She then destroyed the bridge to the Sanctuary Fortress and left, forcing Samus to find an alternative route across the chasm.
Samus later saw Dark Samus firing at several Dark Pirate Troopers. She disposed of them and began absorbing several canisters of Phazon. Samus pursued her foe, cornering Dark Samus within an elevator and battling her once more. Samus once again defeated her, and she fell off the top of the elevator and again disintigrates.
Once Samus had defeated the Emperor Ing and absorbed the remaining planetary energy, Dark Aether became unstable and began to collapse. Samus, having only eight minutes to escape, hurried out of the Sky Temple and began moving toward the exit. However, Dark Samus suddenly appeared, blocking off the escape route and forcing Samus to battle her again. Due to the huge amount of Phazon that she had absorbed, Dark Samus had begun to deteriorate, revealing her organs and Metroid Prime's face inside her helmet. A final eye appears on the back of her hand, mimicking the arm that reached out of the pool. It is interesting to note that her "organs" are actually energy-based, and are shaped in galaxy spiral-type shapes in various colours. It also appears that she has a skeletal system, albeit shaped like Samus's suit.
Samus and Dark Samus battled in two phases, though Samus defeated her once again. During the fight, Dark Samus tried several times to kill Samus by launching pure Phazon at her, but Samus absorbed the Phazon into her Charge Beam, and shot it back. The attack penetrated Dark Samus's Phazon shield, and causes Dark Samus to destabilize, just as She had as the Metroid Prime. She tried one last attempt at defeating Samus by trying to absorb Samus's Light Suit, but disintegrated just before she touched her. This could also be percived as some sort of symbolism, as is reaching out for something similar to itself, albeit in such a way that makes this theory highly unlikely. Samus escapes Dark Aether and brings peace to the Luminoth on the planet, and presumes that Dark Samus died along with Dark Aether.
Even though Dark Samus lacked a physical form, she still existed, and it would be only a small amount of time before she would return.
Sometime between then and the Phaaze incident, the Space Pirates briefly returned to Aether to collect the small amount of Phazon that remained, just before the Galactic Federation came and took the rest of it. In their haste, however, they also collected the particles of Dark Samus. Using the Phazon, she regained her physical form (now with a more armored look to it) and wiped out a third of the Space Pirates aboard the ship. The rest were brainwashed into accepting her as their new leader.
Soon after Dark Samus had established her followers, she left them for several months. When she returned, she brought with her a Leviathan - she had managed to reach her homeworld, Phaaze. Bringing the Space Pirates back with her, she began her mission to spread Phazon across the universe.
Under her orders, the Space Pirates attacked the GFS Valhalla and stole the ship's Aurora Unit, 313. The Aurora Unit was corrupted with Phazon and implanted into Phaaze, allowing Dark Samus to control the planet and all of its assets - including the Leviathans. The first Leviathan that she controlled was sent to the Space Pirate Homeworld, bringing all remaining Pirates under her control.
After this, Dark Samus sent three more Leviathans to planets important to the Galactic Federation - one to Norion, containing an important military base; one to Bryyo, the Federation's primary source of Fuel Gel; and the last to Elysia, containing a vital research facility. While the ones on Bryyo and Elysia collided without any trouble, Dark Samus encountered opposition on Norion - specifically, in the form of Samus Aran and three other bounty hunters: Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda. Just before they activated the cannon to destroy the oncoming Leviathan, Dark Samus confronted them, and, after a brief skirmish, corrupted them with Phazon. Believing her work to be done, Dark Samus flies off, but Samus, using the last of her strength, manages to activate the cannon to destroy the Leviathan before falling unconscious.
After this, Dark Samus herself does not appear until later; however, due to her "mark of corruption" that she had left on Samus, Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda, the latter three succumb to Phazon. Samus is forced to kill all three of them. Each time one of them dies, a shadowy apparition of Dark Samus appears before them, absorbing their bodies and their powers.
Dark Samus was confronted for the final time in the depths of Phaaze. Dark Samus then challenges Samus to a grand final battle. However, after being injured considerably, Dark Samus called forth the stolen Aurora Unit 313 and merged with it in a last-ditch effort to defeat Samus. After a grueling two-part battle, the Aurora Unit is destroyed, beginning a chain reaction that would culminate in Phaaze exploding, eradicating all Phazon from the universe. As a result, Dark Samus once again destabilizes, but this time is completely destroyed in a burst of Phazon.... Or so it was thought.
Soon after, she condensed once more in the caverns deep below Phaaze, and absorbed all the Phazon around her. And now she's out for revenge....
