Dark Samus is the sinister counterpart to the legendary bounty hunter Samus Aran, born from the alien Phazon substance in the Metroid series. First appearing in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Dark Samus has become one of the most memorable villains in Nintendo’s sci-fi universe.
Emerging as a living Phazon entity, Dark Samus mirrors Samus’s abilities, wielding the same powerful weaponry with deadly precision, but with a dark, otherworldly twist. This enigmatic foe exists solely to spread Phazon corruption and challenge Samus at every turn.
In Super Smash Bros, Dark Samus brings a mix of agile, ranged attacks and energy-based specials, making her a fast and formidable fighter who mirrors some of Samus’s moves while adding her own dark edge.
