Backstory

When Samus was three years old, Space Pirates led by Ridley attacked her home colony, K-2L, killing everyone including her parents. As the sole survivor, she was taken in by the Chozo—ancient, hyper-intelligent bird-like aliens—and brought to planet Zebes. To survive its harsh environment, she was infused with Chozo DNA, gaining enhanced strength, speed, agility, and immunity to extreme conditions.

Her Chozo mentors, Old Bird and Gray Voice, trained her in advanced combat, survival skills, stealth, and tactical thinking, while providing her iconic high-tech bio-armor Power Suit. After growing up with the Chozo, she joined the Galactic Federation Police, serving as a soldier before going solo as a freelance bounty hunter. She takes on high-risk contracts across the galaxy, hunting the Space Pirates who destroyed her past, neutralizing Metroids, and protecting the galaxy.
