Human

Humans are a weak species in combat standards that appear in the Metroid series. They don't seem to be any different from real-life humans except for their advanced technology, such as cybernetic enhancements. As they did not evolve to grow body parts that can be used as a harmful weapon, they require weapons for combat purposes. They play a large role in the Galactic Federation and helped create it as referenced in the Metroid manual. Samus Aran is a human and possibly the most powerful human in terms of battle capacity.

As demonstrated by Samus and PED Troopers, humans may be more resistant to the mental effects of Phazon exposure.
