Dangelo

Dangelo is a mysterious character that first appears in chapter 12 of Samus and Joey (first chapter of Volume 3). He has past ties to Samus Aran, wanting revenge on her for reasons currently unknown. To this end, he has acquired a similar Power Suit to Samus (albeit with differently shaped and placed shoulder pad ridges and a Missile hatch with three holes for firing) and commits at least six terrorist attacks on the Junk Quixote's space station. Samus learns of this after returning from the Sakaard Sector on a mission and flees the police. She confronts Dangelo as he is attacking a hospital and is shown to hate him, calling him "filth". He explains the Power Suit as a gift from someone who also has a grudge against Samus, and reveals that there are others who seek revenge on her. He then turns invisible and attacks Samus, explaining that this Power Suit is reverse-engineered from hers. Threatening to kill several people leftover in the hospital, Dangelo demands that Samus destroy her Arm Cannon. He still fires at the hostages even when she smashes it into the ground and damages it, but Samus acts as a human shield by taking all the fire while the hostages flee with the help of Joey Apronika. Samus asks him if he has

Trivia

 * The reverse-engineered Power Suit is just another example of several attempts by other Metroid characters to replicate Samus' Chozo technology. Other examples include the Trooper Pirates of Metroid Prime, the downloadable data of Metroid Fusion and possibly the Freeze and Plasma Guns of Metroid: Other M.
 * The scene where Samus gives "Dan Jello" a thumbs down and asks him if he has "Any objections?" is an obvious reference to Adam Malkovich's famous catchphrase "Any objections, Lady?". Though the catchphrase was present in Metroid Fusion, released before Samus and Joey, the thumbs down was only added to the series in Metroid: Other M, which was released years after the manga and game. It is possible that Yoshio Sakamoto had a hand in this scene of the manga, and later added this idea to the game series.
