In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Super Metroid}}'', with the last Metroid in captivity, the galaxy is at peace. Galactic Federation scientists study the Metroid, but just as Samus leaves the Ceres Colony, it is attacked, and Samus returns to witness Ridley making off with the infant Metroid. Samus chases him to Zebes where she once again defeats Kraid, Ridley, and other Space Pirates, but is attacked by a giant Metroid on her way to Mother Brain. The giant Metroid, in reality a grown form of the infant, recognizes Samus at the last minute and flees. In a final epic battle, Samus fights Mother Brain's new mechanical body, but is almost defeated. However, she is saved by the baby Metroid at the last moment, though it is killed by Mother Brain. Using the Hyper Beam the baby Metroid had taken from Mother Brain, Samus avenges the baby and kills Mother Brain, escaping Zebes before the entire planet explodes. | In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Super Metroid}}'', with the last Metroid in captivity, the galaxy is at peace.

A ''Nintendo Power'' comic adaptation of ''[[Super Metroid]]'' was the first depiction of Samus's backstory, which was later expanded in the ''Monthly Magazine Z'' {{s|metroidwiki|Metroid e-manga}}. These comics established that Samus was born on the mining colony K-2L to parents Virginia and Rodney Aran. When Samus was 3 years old, her parents were away when the {{s|metroidwiki|Chozo}} visited; one named Old Bird befriended Samus, before departing. Soon after, the miners were ambushed by the Space Pirates, led by none other than Ridley. He attempted to kill Samus, inadvertently killing Virginia instead as she leapt in the way. Rodney then detonated the volatile mineral Afloraltite, sacrificing himself to destroy the Pirates and bury Ridley under rubble. Old Bird and the Chozo returned soon after, finding Samus as the sole survivor of the incident. They chose to adopt the orphaned girl and took her to planet Zebes. As she grew, she was infused with their DNA, trained with them in combat, and was given a Chozo Power Suit. Eventually, Samus left the planet and joined the Galactic Federation. She was present for the Space Pirates' occupation of Zebes, in which she reconcile her troubled relationship with her guardian Gray Voice just before his death at the hands of Ridley.

She was present for the Space Pirates' occupation of Zebes, in which she reconcile her troubled relationship with her guardian Gray Voice just before his death at the hands of Ridley. Soon afterwards, Samus left the Federation due to her disagreements with procedures and general distaste for authority, as well as an argument with her superior officer, Adam Malkovich. Samus became a bounty hunter instead, and developed a reputation as the best in the galaxy. | ||

There she is infected by an {{s|metroidwiki|X-Parasite}}, and subsequently crashes into an asteroid when she passes out in her ship. Unconscious, parts of her suit are surgically removed by the Galactic Federation due to the X-Parasites infecting it. Her life is saved only when she is given the {{s|metroidwiki|Vaccine "Metroid"}}, made from the baby Metroid's cells, giving her Metroid-like qualities such as immunity to X-Parasites and weakness to cold. After this, Samus is sent to the BSL Research Station to investigate a disaster. There, she encounters the SA-X, an X-Parasite that formed from her infected Power Suit. Learning that a rogue Federation branch is planning to clone Metroids as a bioweapon and secure the X-Parasites for the same purpose, Samus resolves to destroy both the station and planet SR388 to prevent such an outcome. Samus sends the BSL crashing into SR388, escaping after absorbing the SA-X and destroying an escaped Omega Metroid. | ||
In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime}}'', set between ''Metroid'' and ''Metroid II'', Samus investigates a Space Pirate distress call from the Frigate Orpheon. She discovers the Pirates had been studying a new form of mutagen called {{s|metroidwiki|Phazon}}, and encounters the reconstructed [[Meta Ridley]]. Samus pursues Meta Ridley to the planet Tallon IV, where she learns that a Chozo colony had lived there and a meteorite had struck on the planet long ago, warping a Metroid into an evil creature known as Metroid Prime.

Samus opens the way to the meteorite, defeating Meta Ridley at the entrance, and seemingly defeats Metroid Prime despite it stealing her Phazon Suit upgrade. | ||
In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime Hunters}}'', Samus is sent to the Alimbic Cluster after the Galactic Federation intercepts a message claiming that "Ultimate Power" lies in the center. Samus explores four separate areas: Alinos, Arcterra, Vesper Defense Outpost, and the Celestial Archives, and secures the Octoliths, keys to the Infinity Void, where the ultimate power was said to be. Other bounty hunters named Sylux, Trace, Noxus, Spire, Kanden, and Weavel, stand in her way, each seeking the ultimate power for their own. The message turns out to be a trap, an attempt by the monstrous being Gorea to escape imprisonment. Samus, after securing an ancient Alimbic superweapon called the Omega Cannon, vanquishes Gorea and earns the respect of the Alimbic people. | In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime Hunters}}'', Samus is sent to the Alimbic Cluster after the Galactic Federation intercepts a message claiming that "Ultimate Power" lies in the center.

In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}'', Samus is sent to the planet known as Aether to find a lost group of Galactic Federation troopers. She learns another Phazon meteorite had struck Aether, splitting it in two at the dimensional level: one dimension of regular Aether and the other an oppressive world called Dark Aether, which boasted a literally corrosive atmosphere of evil. Samus explores the planet, destroying the dark Ing creatures and reclaiming the light of Aether for the native Luminoth species. She also encounters [[Dark Samus]], a doppelganger of herself born from her Phazon Suit and the remains of Metroid Prime. With the help of the Luminoth, Samus stands against the Emperor Ing, destroys Dark Aether and apparently Dark Samus as well. | In ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}'', Samus is sent to the planet known as Aether to find a lost group of Galactic Federation troopers.

''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime: Federation Force}}'' marks Samus' first role in the series as a supporting character. Samus is hired to investigate the Bermuda System, a three-planet system with abandoned Galactic Federation resources. As the mech suit-equipped members of Federation Force are already undertaking missions there, Samus occasionally intervenes to assist them. Samus eventually discovers that the Space Pirates are building the battleship ''Doomseye'' to attack Federation headquarters; however, she is kidnapped and brainwashed, and serves as the game's final boss under Space Pirate control. Once freed from the brainwashing, Samus helps the Federation troopers escape from the ''Doomseye'' and rescues them from the void of space with her [[gunship]]. | ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Prime: Federation Force}}'' marks Samus' first role in the series as a supporting character.

There she runs into Adam Malkovich, her former commander in the Galactic Federation, and his platoon, including her former colleague Anthony Higgs. They discover that the Bottle Ship was run by Federation staff creating illegal bioweapons cloned from Zebes, such as the Space Pirates and Ridley, but they had broken out and killed them all. Samus later discovers that the remains of the baby Metroid, which were on her suit, were used to clone Metroids as bioweapons. In order to control them, they created an android with Mother Brain's AI called MB, but she staged a bioweapon rebellion, leaving the ship in this state. In the end, Adam sacrifices himself to kill the remaining Metroids, Samus defeats the Queen Metroid, and the Galactic Federation kills MB. Samus leaves the Bottle Ship with Anthony and Madeline Bergman, the creator of MB. After Samus leaves, the Galactic Federation chooses to self-destruct the Bottle Ship. Samus is allowed to return for Adam's helmet, which she succeeds in after a battle with Phantoon. Samus makes her escape just as the station explodes. | ||

The Federation had sent E.M.M.I. robots to investigate, but they lost contact, and it's up to Samus as the only being with immunity to the X-Parasites. Soon after arriving on ZDR, Samus is overpowered by a hostile Chozo named Raven Beak, though her body's mysterious reaction makes him spare her. As she recovers and explores the planet to return to her ship, Samus encounters the E.M.M.I., which now seek to kill her. A friendly Chozo, Quiet Robe, warns Samus of Raven Beak's plot to dominate the galaxy using the power of the Metroid DNA in her body. As she continues, Samus' Metroid abilities begin to awaken, one of many side effects of the "Metroid" vaccine. This culminates in Samus developing the Metroid Suit and attaining tremendous power, destroying Raven Beak, the remaining X, and ultimately, all of ZDR itself. Samus' new power almost dooms her when she nearly drains her ship's batteries, but an X-mimicked Quiet Robe restores her original condition, allowing her to escape. | ||
