Samus (Nintendo vs. Capcom)



Samus is the main protagonist of the Metroid series, first appearing in the 1986 NES title as an armored soldier bent on eradicating the Metroid species. In the official Super Metroid Comics, it's revealed that Samus was a human girl originating from the distant planet known as K-2L; an earth colony known for its large reservoirs of the mineral Afloraltite. During her early childhood, Samus bore witness to her planet's massacre at the hands of the Space Pirates, sparing only her in the process. The calamity left Samus to die in the ruins of her planet only to be miraculously granted salvation at the hands of the Chozo, an ancient race hailing from Planet Zebes. Adopting Samus and infusing her with their DNA to assist in her training as a galactic warrior, Samus soon adjusted to her new home on Zebes while growing into a formidable fighter. During adulthood, Samus found herself serving under Commander Adam Malkovitch in the Federation Police, only to disavow her service shortly after and assume the lonesome existence of a bounty hunter across the sector. Samus is christened with many accolades such as the Space Pirate's destruction on Zebes, ending the Galactic Phazon Crisis, exterminating the Metroid species and her dishonorable act of mutiny by destroying the X Parasites against direct orders, proving she truly holds the spirit of a vagabond.

During the invasion of Team Capcom, Samus takes note of the sudden disturbance in space time around the coordinates of Zebes. The waves of distortion were faint, but Samus nonetheless took note and researched them away from the eyes of the Galactic Federation. Over time, the waves grew stronger in magnitude, and soon ripped a tear in the very fabric of space. Slipping away, Samus deployed in her personal gunship and entered the distant void, coming upon a completely new world unlike any she had witnessed before; the title of it shown in bright holographic letters: Abel City.

Samus's rival in this cross dimensional war is Mega Man X
