In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'', Samus is assigned to collect samples of life on SR388 when she is infected by an X-Parasite, and subsequently crashes into an asteroid while in her ship. Unconscious, her suit is surgically removed due to the X-Parasite infecting it. Her life is saved only after she is given the {{s|metroidwiki|Vaccine "Metroid"}}, which was made from the Baby Metroid, giving her Metroid-esque qualities such as immunity to X-Parasites and weakness to cold. Her Power Suit is also massively altered into what is colloquially called the {{s|metroidwiki|Fusion Suit}}. After this, Samus is sent to the BSL Research Station to investigate an explosion in the Quarantine Bay. There, she encounters the SA-X, an X-Parasite that merged with her infected Power Suit. Learning that a rogue Federation branch is planning to clone Metroids as a bioweapon and secure the X-Parasites for the same purpose, Samus resolves to destroy both the station and planet SR388 to prevent such an outcome. Samus is able to complete the mission, sending BSL crashing into SR388 and escaping after absorbing the SA-X and destroying an escaped Omega Metroid. | In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'', Samus is assigned to collect samples of life on SR388 when she is infected by an X-Parasite, and subsequently crashes into an asteroid while in her ship.

In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Dread}}'', Samus is dispatched by a currently unknown party to ZDR, | In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Dread}}'', Samus is dispatched by a currently unknown party to ZDR, having received supposed video evidence of X-Parasite presence on the planet despite their supposed destruction at the BSL. As the only being in the universe with immunity against the X Parasites, Samus seeks to uncover whether they truly still exist. Soon after arriving on ZDR, Samus encounters a hostile, living Chozo named Raven Beak, leader of the warmongering Mawkin tribe (who previously appeared in the Chozo Memories of ''Metroid: Samus Returns''). Raven Beak attacks her and steals her abilities, though a new power awakens in Samus enabling her to temporarily escape his grasp. As she wakes up and explores the planet in search of a way back to her ship, Samus encounters the E.M.M.I. robots, which have gone rogue and now seek to kill her and extract her DNA. A friendly Chozo chieftain, Quiet Robe (leader of the peaceful Thoha, rival tribe to the Mawkin) warns Samus of Raven Beak's plans to dominate the galaxy using the power of the Metroids, with Samus vowing to stop him. Samus' latent Metroid abilities begin to awaken, one of many side effects of the Chozo DNA granted to her by Raven Beak along with the "Metroid" vaccine that saved her from the X. This culminates in Samus obtaining the Metroid Suit and unleashing tremendous, but wild power, destroying Raven Beak, the remaining X and ultimately, ZDR itself. Samus' new condition almost dooms her when she nearly drains her ship's batteries inadvertantly, but an X-possessed Quiet Robe restores her original condition, allowing her to escape once more. | ||
In all depictions, Samus is a hardened warrior that has no qualms with killing to complete the mission. This is seen in the many creatures, space pirates, and boss characters she effortlessly mows down. Samus is fearless in the face of danger, willing to take on enemies much larger than herself. An exception to this is in ''Other M'' where she experiences a post traumatic stress disorder episode when fighting against Ridley. Samus would kill Metroids in particular, as she was ordered to on several occasions. However, the fact that she refused to kill the baby Metroid shows a softer, sympathetic, even maternal side of Samus that was explored more in the following installments. | In all depictions, Samus is a hardened warrior that has no qualms with killing to complete the mission.

She also greatly respects her Chozo heritage, seen in ''Dread'' where, after Quiet Robe beseeches her to stop Raven Beak's plans, she responds in the language of the Chozo people with a promise to end the warlord's ambitions. | ||
