** [[ArchEbemy Ridley]] is a [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]], mass-murdering warlord with zero redeeming qualities, yet that's precisely what makes him such an [[NightmareFuel intimidating]] and [[EvilIsCool badass]] antagonist, on top of being one of the only characters able to ''repeatedly'' trade blows and match wits with Samus herself.

** [[DiabolicalMastermind Mother Brain]] is a [[HateSink thoroughly detestable] being defined by her immense cruelty and arrogant sense of superiority towards other life forms, on top of [[spoiler:[[KickTheDog murdering the Baby Metroid in cold blood]]]]. Fortunately, that makes the moments when players get to finally kick her ass [[CatharsisFactor all the more satisfying]].

* TransAudienceInterpretation: In addition to the large crowd of queer fans who adore Samus, there is a sizable chunk of ''Metroid'' fans who interpret Samus to be transfeminine, with Samus herself having a muscular and more masculine build while still very clearly presenting as a woman. While Samus in expanded material has always been presented as a girl even as far back as her time on K-2L, the canonicity of the ''Metroid'' manga is [[SchrodingersCanon somewhat up in the air]], leaving enough room for these interpretations to stick around.
