Soon after Samus Aran defeated Metroid Prime in [[Tallon IV]]'s [[Impact Crater]], the creature reached out for Samus in its dying moments and grabbed hold. After a brief struggle, Samus escaped, but it had ripped off her [[Phazon Suit]] in the process. Samus escaped the scene of the final battle and left it to die in a collapsing cave while escaping to [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her Gunship]]. However, Metroid Prime was not finished; it combined elements from itself, Samus, and the Phazon Suit and was reborn as a completely new entity, known in the future Prime games as Dark Samus. Dark Samus then made her way to [[Aether]] somehow, most likely by stowing away on a [[Space Pirate]] ship.

Samus first encounters Dark Samus inside an abandoned [[Galactic Federation]] base set up by the [[GFMC Task Force Herakles]] on Aether. Samus follows Dark Samus through a [[Dark Portal]] leading to [[Dark Aether]] and finds her absorbing [[Phazon]] on the other side of the portal. Dark Samus destroys a [[Light Crystal]] that Samus is near to, allowing a group of [[Warrior Ing]] to swarm in and steal most of Samus's equipment. Samus narrowly manages to escape from the Ing before Dark Aether's atmosphere causes any severe damage to her.

Later, Samus briefly encounters Dark Samus in a Space Pirate facility in the [[Agon Wastes]]. Dark Samus shuts off the most direct route through the facility, forcing Samus to take a different route. Shortly thereafter, Samus finds Dark Samus in the [[Phazon Processing]], absorbing more Phazon once again, and engages her in battle. Dark Samus uses many variations of Samus's weaponry, but Samus defeats her counterpart. However, contrary to appearances, Dark Samus was not destroyed entirely.

Samus comes across Dark Samus again in the [[Training Chamber]] of [[Torvus Bog]]. Dark Samus reforms, laughs, and then dissipates without attempting to intimidate or attack Samus. Her intentions during this encounter were unclear, and Dark Samus does not show herself to Samus again until she travels to [[Sanctuary Fortress]].

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

==Trivia==
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
*Although Dark Samus's ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' Trophy says Samus and Dark Samus's only differences are in color, the entity that is Dark Samus is made of mostly [[Phazon]] and DNA of both Samus and the {{sp|Metroid Prime}}. This is best shown in the first ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime's]]'' 100% scans cutscene at the end of the game.
{{Trophy|Dark Samus|Dark Samus|'''NTSC-U''': This terrifying creature is made of Phazon. Along with regenerative abilities, she can also brainwash her victims and clone herself. Summoned into Smash Bros., she resembles Samus Aran and mimics some of her moves, firing Arm Cannon blasts, launching homing energy blasts, or even unleashing Phazon.<br><br>'''PAL''':  An exceptionally strong and terrifying being made of Phazon. She's able to regenerate, brainwash her victims and even clone herself. When summoned in this game, she'll either fire rapid blasts from her Arm Cannon, launch homing missiles, or unleash Phazon across the surrounding area, depending on where her target is. |Randomly Obtainable|[[File:DarkSamusTrophyWiiU.png|150px]]}}
===Tips Info===
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''====
''"Dark Samus can be defeated by dealing enough damage. However, anyone who gets too close to her may receive a burst of Phazon energy."''
 
''"This energy-based life-form looks a lot like Samus. Dark Samus fires homing energy blasts and rapid-fire rounds at fighters on the stage."''

**Additionally, the trophy description says "There are many theories on the origin of Dark Samus, but none are proven." While it is not explicitly stated in-game in either Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the Japanese Metroid Prime 2: Echoes website has a Q&A section that confirms that Dark Samus's origins are shown at the end of Metroid Prime.
