'''Dark Samus''' is the main antagonist of the ''[[MetroidWiki:Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' series. She was created after [[MetroidWiki:Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime]] merged into [[Samus Aran]]' [[MetroidWiki:Phazon Suit|Phazon Suit]] in order to survive. 

==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Dark Samus does not appear in a physical form, though she still has both a collectible [[trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]. In Subspace Emissary, her sticker can only be equipped by Samus and [[Zero Suit Samus]], and gives them an increase in their battering resistance when equipped.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
Dark Samus appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' and attacks using a variety of Phazon abilities, such as tentacles that sprout from the ground, a burst of pellets from her arm cannon, or spherical missiles that lock onto enemies. If enough damage is dealt to her, she staggers before disappearing; otherwise, she simply disappears after a period of time. Her appearance is also used for one of Samus' alternate costumes.

|''A twin image of Samus, encountered near the beginning of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Dark Samus is identical to Samus in every way but color--she even uses similar attacks. There are many theories on the origin of Dark Samus, but none are proven. Dark Samus uses Phazon for energy and can absorb it to heal damage. Samus encounters Dark Samus a number of times.''
