In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Super Metroid}}'', with the last Metroid in captivity, the galaxy is at peace. Galactic Federation scientists study the Metroid, but just as Samus leaves the Ceres Colony, it is attacked, and Samus returns to witness Ridley making off with the infant Metroid. Samus chases him to Zebes where she once again defeats Kraid and Ridley, along with many other creatures, but is attacked by a giant Metroid on her way to Mother Brain. The giant Metroid, in reality a grown form of the infant, recognizes Samus at the last minute and flees. In a final epic battle, Samus fights Mother Brain's new mechanical body, but is almost defeated. However, she is saved by the baby Metroid at the last moment, though it is killed by Mother Brain. Using the Hyper Beam the Baby Metroid had taken from Mother Brain, Samus avenges the baby and kills Mother Brain, escaping Zebes before the entire planet explodes. | In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Super Metroid}}'', with the last Metroid in captivity, the galaxy is at peace.

A ''Nintendo Power'' comic adaptation of ''[[Super Metroid]]'' was the first depiction of Samus's backstory, which was later expanded in the ''Monthly Magazine Z'' {{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}. These comics established that she was born on the mining colony K-2L to parents Virginia and Rodney Aran, the latter being a member of the Galactic Federation. When Samus was 3 years old, her parents were on a mission in the K-2L mines to retrieve a precious mineral known as Afloraltite when the Chozo arrived. | A ''Nintendo Power'' comic adaptation of ''[[Super Metroid]]'' was the first depiction of Samus's backstory, which was later expanded in the ''Monthly Magazine Z'' {{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}. These comics established that she was born on the mining colony K-2L to parents Virginia and Rodney Aran, the latter being a member of the Galactic Federation. When Samus was 3 years old, her parents were on a mission in the K-2L mines to retrieve a precious mineral known as Afloraltite when the Chozo arrived. One named Old Bird quickly befriended Samus, before departing. Soon after, the miners were ambushed by the Space Pirates, led by none other than Ridley. While Ridley considered Samus cute, he decided to kill her out of mercy, inadvertently killing Virginia as she leapt between the two. Rodney then detonated the Afloraltite, sacrificing himself to destroy the Pirates and bury Ridley under rubble. Old Bird and the Chozo returned soon after, finding Samus was the sole survivor of the incident. They decided to adopt the orphaned girl and took her to planet Zebes. As she grew up, she was infused with their DNA, trained with them in combat, and was given a Chozo Power Suit. Eventually, Samus left the planet and joined the Galactic Federation. She was present for the Space Pirates' occupation of Zebes, in which she reconcile her troubled relationship with her guardian Gray Voice just before his death at the hands of Ridley. Soon afterwards, Samus left the Federation due to her disagreements with procedures and general distaste for authority, as well as an argument with her superior officer, Adam Malkovich. Samus became a bounty hunter instead, and developed a reputation as the best in the galaxy. | ||
In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'', Samus is assigned to defend a research expedition on SR388 when she is infected by an X-Parasite, and subsequently crashes into an asteroid when she passes out 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 defend a research expedition on SR388 when she is infected by an X-Parasite, and subsequently crashes into an asteroid when she passes out in her ship.
