Rich Outer Life: A History of Samus Aran's History
The story of Samus before Other M's awful truth
For most of her bounty hunting career, Samus Aran hasn't had much to say for herself. She primarily works alone, and there are only so many conversations she can strike up with that little hula Zoomer bobbing away on her dashboard.
Maybe that's why manga-ka and comic artists have striven to put words in Samus' mouth and ambition in her Power Suit since her conception in 1986. The results have been interesting and varied, to say the least.
We regard today's Samus as a bit of a brooding character who will soliloquize at the drop of a Federation trooper's helmet. But through her career on the NES, when she had the least to say about herself (not even revealing her gender until you had suffered and bled for the privilege), she was arguably at her most talkative.
