Samus who you ask?

Why Samus Aran of course. Heroine of the Metroid game series and technically sci-fi.

I like many was suprised back in the 80's when finishing Metroid to discover the hero/saviour of Galactic Civilization, the bad ass bounty hunter Samus Aran, was a woman. *There was an intentional typo in the game manual to mislead players, I actually found out in a Mario Bros. comic*

This warrior woman has fought insurmountable odds, went behind enemy lines time and time again, solo, to fight the vicious space pirates, life sucking life forms called Metroids, and has helped save the planet Aether from total catastrophy.

She's also thrown down against many Nintendo mascots in Super Smash Bros. and Smash Bros. Melee.

I'll see if I can find some pics to post up of her various suits.

Chick or no, the remodled suit used in Metroid: Prime kicks serious butt.

Ok, my interest is spiked! We need pictures!

This what you're looking for?

Ok, here come some pics I'm linking off Nintendo.com

Here's another vid of the type of situation Samus usually runs into, although she usually makes it out with barely a scratch. *Sucks to be the Galactic Federation Marines*
