- —Samus Aran
Samus Aran is the main protagonist of the Metroid series. She appeared in the first episode and Series Premiere of Death Battle, Boba Fett VS Samus Aran, as well as the remastered version in the 43rd episode, where she fought against Boba Fett from the Star Wars series.
History
Samus Aran was originally an inhabitant of the Earth colony K-2L. Following a Space Pirate raid on the colony, which led to her parents' death at the hands of Ridley the Space Dragon, a lone surviving child Samus was adopted by the bird-like species known as the Chozo, and was injected with their DNA, making her faster and stronger than the average human. These abilities grew even further when she bonded to her trademark Power Suit as a teenager. She joined the Galactic Federation for a time, but ultimately left their ranks to become a bounty hunter, going all across the galaxy liberating entire planets, wiping out several species, and battling against the Space Pirates themselves, including Ridley and his superior, Mother Brain.
