Dark Samus is Metroid Prime taking on the form of Samus Aran. After Samus defeated Metroid Prime on Tallon IV, she took her Phazon Suit and exploded. As Samus left the planet, inside the crater where they fought, in a pool of Phazon, an arm appeared out of it with an eye on the hand. This was Metroid Prime, reborn as Dark Samus. When Metroid Prime had taken the Phazon Suit, Samus's DNA merged with Metroid Prime's DNA, causing her to transform into a Samus look-a-like. Dark Samus manages to leave Tallon IV, looking for more Phazon. She eventually discovered the planet Aether, a planet with two dimensions. A meteor had previously landed on the planet, causing the planet to have two dimenions and cause the spread of Phazon on the planet. Dark Samus explored Aether and absorbed any Phazon she could find on the planet. Samus Aran eventually lands on Aether and encounters and fights Dark Samus a number of times. Once Dark Samus can no longer take defeat anymore, she disintegrates in front of Samus's eyes, though somewhere in space, she reforms into Dark Samus once again. Her fate is revealed in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, where she now has an alliance with Space Pirates and is infecting planets with Phazon. (more...)
