Originally players were under the impression that Samus was a male, as the English translation of the instruction manual used male pronouns for her. Samus broke ground early in the gaming world when she debuted in the 1986 game Metroid. Having received an infusion of Metroid DNA to save her from an X infection, Samus is now the last 'Metroid' in the galaxy. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her repeated extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation. Equipped with her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for accomplishing missions previously thought impossible. Though she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, she was nonetheless hired by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police and served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich. Later, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes, where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior. The daughter of Rodney Aran and Virginia Aran, she lost her parents during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L. Samus Aran ( サムス・アラン, Samusu Aran ?) is an intergalactic bounty hunter and the main protagonist of the Metroid series.
