Money Changes Everything

Money Changes Everything is the second comic in the Captain N: The Game Master series, and the first to feature Samus in a larger role, as the previous comic, Welcome to Videoland, only showed her towards the end.

Plot
The comic begins with Kevin Keene, Princess Lana, Kevin's dog Duke and Kid Icarus overlooking Zebes via a cliff. Samus jumps down behind them, shooting at some enemies and saying "Zebes is no place for weaklings!" Kevin takes care of some more, and Samus introduces herself. Lana makes several positive remarks about Samus, and reacts in shock when she finds out that Samus is a woman.

The group teams up and makes a plan to destroy the Zeebetite that is being shipped to Mother Brain's chamber. They enter the Fire-Sea and Samus is attacked by a swarm of Gamets. Kevin destroys them, but they drained Samus's armor of energy, and she has fifty or sixty seconds before "it goes up like a supernova". Kevin jumps to where he remembers there is an Energy Tank (as he played Metroid several times before), grabs it and gives it to Samus, fully restoring her energy.

Samus and the others manage to get to the Zeebetite, but only Samus's Missile will destroy it. Mother Brain then tells Samus that if she lets the Zeebetite go and turns over the N-Team, that she will receive all of Mother Brain's money. Samus complies, on the condition that Kevin comes with her.

Later, Lana and Kid Icarus are trapped on the shuttle carrying the Zeebetite to Metroid. Kid Icarus tries to attack the guards piloting the ship, but it turns out that they are in fact Kevin and Samus. Samus remarks that "she may be greedy, but she's not stupid."

Trivia

 * Samus is depicted with a greedy personality in this story, though this has since been retconned by Nintendo.
