In a post-credits stinger scene, an armored hand emerged from the Phazon pool, signaling the rebirth of Metroid Prime as a Phazon-based cyborg: Dark Samus. This hybrid acquired all of Samus' abilities, as well as sapience. However, she was also obsessed with consuming Phazon, a trait retained from her time as Metroid Prime. | In a post-credits stinger scene, an armored hand emerged from the Phazon pool, signaling the rebirth of Metroid Prime as a Phazon-based cyborg: Dark Samus.

They initially believe she is Samus wearing a new suit, but are disturbed as she only cares about absorbing the Phazon mined on {{s|metroidwiki|Aether}}. Her meddling results in the Pirates' operation being discovered by the Galactic Federation, leading to Samus' arrival. Dark Samus attacks Samus on sight, and the two fight multiple times across Aether. | ||

Overloaded by Phazon, she holds her own against Samus despite the latter's powerful {{s|metroidwiki|Light Suit}}, but is ultimately bested again. She then disintegrates after failing to steal Samus' Light Suit, and appears to perish in Dark Aether. | ||
Following this defeat, ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' opens with Dark Samus' remains being unknowingly collected by the Space Pirates, allowing her to reconstitute in one of their Phazon transports. She absorbs all Phazon aboard the ship, which further develops her sapience alongside streamlining her physical body. Thanks to this sapience, Dark Samus brainwashes the Pirates with Phazon and initiates a new goal: galactic conquest via the spread of Phazon. | Following this defeat, ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' opens with Dark Samus' remains being unknowingly collected by the Space Pirates, allowing her to reconstitute in one of their Phazon transports.

*Dark Samus' ''Brawl'' trophy description is not entirely accurate. If the player achieves 100% completion in ''Metroid Prime'', a cutscene will play that shows Metroid Prime's essence being reborn into Samus' stolen {{iw|metroidwiki|Phazon Suit}}. However, this fact is only hinted at in-universe from Samus' first {{iw|metroidwiki|logbook}} scan of Dark Samus in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''. | *Dark Samus' ''Brawl'' trophy description is not entirely accurate.
