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 comic, 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, a syndicate of Zebesians notorious for raiding vessels and planets with due motive to expend their resources. Sparing only her in the process, Samus was left 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, she had made her new home on Zebes and formed a deep relationship with the Chozo. During adulthood, Samus found herself under the command of 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. Despite this, Samus has kept an odd, beneficial relationship with the Galactic Federation, temporarily coming to their aid on several occasions. 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.
