Ummm, what about the Queen Metroid? You saying its genderless???

Anyways, I just remembered that the Metroid Prime could spawn Metroids, Hunter Metroids, Fission Metroids; doesnt that mean Prime was somewhat fulfilling a Queen's role? Making it somewhat female?

Back to the matter at hand, the fact that both Samus' scan visor and Space Pirates refer to Dark Samus as a she means it is female. She was created using Prime's Phazon and Samus' phazon suit, which you can bet it had Samus' sweat, strands of hair, cells, etc. Dark Samus may contain both Prime and Samus' DNA, but the creature has become more human female than anything else. She shows emotions too, something Prime did not have.
