[[file:Dark Samus Hand.jpg|thumb|left|Dark Samus emerges]]
Immediately after Samus Aran defeated [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]] on [[Tallon IV|Tallon IV's]] [[Impact Crater]], the dying creature reached out for Samus as a last resort and ripped off Samus's [[Phazon Suit]]. Samus escaped the scene of the final battle and left the creature to die in a collapsing cave to save herself and escape in [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her Gunship]]. However, Metroid Prime was not finished; it combined elements from itself, Samus, and the Phazon Suit to be reborn as a completely new entity, known in the future Prime games as Dark Samus.

The only direct battle between Samus and Dark Samus happens on Phaaze. After her defeat by Samus, Dark Samus merges with [[Aurora Unit 313]]. Samus destroys the Aurora Unit, which purges the Phazon from Samus and Dark Samus is destroyed with no signs of Dark Samus's survival.

Many of Dark Samus's abilities are similar to Samus's, though some abilities are not shared between the two. Her basic beam fires a scattered burst of Phazon, she may charge this to fire a sustained beam of Phazon. Dark Samus can fire a beam that can encase her target in Phazon, similar to the [[Ice Beam]]. She has a form of the [[Boost Ball]] that she can allow her to boost far longer than Samus is capable of doing. She can generate a shield that is impervious to all attacks, save blasts of Phazon; she will often use this when Samus fires Missiles at her. She also can become invisible.
