When all you have is power armor bristling with weapons, everything looks like a nail.

I imagine Samus doing lots of charity work in her spare time next to her saving whatever planets or civilizations she stumbles upon.

She probably donates a lot of her credits to direct reconstruction efforts after she blows up a Space Pirate contingent on a GF colony, too.

Seriously, Samus is a superhero.

I sure said that!

Wasn't there one Metroid comic where she had a sidekick named Joey?

@Geist-Fox: Actually, Samus Aran's powered armor would have a lot of Mundane Utility for construction applications. Heavy lifting, for example. Also the Grapple Beam, too. Plus her plasma beam would make a great thermic lance and welding tool.

So, yeah, it's entirely plausible that Samus would help out with reconstructing damaged cities in her spare time.

Joey was a kid Samus sort of picked up during an adventure that stuck around. They had four volumes of stories together.

There was also that one obscure fancomic that used to be on the Bob and George website.

I never finished reading that webcomic.

I remember Joey from there.

I like to believe that every week, Samus had chores to do and every time she did a chore, she was rewarded with a power-up. Then, at the end of the week, she had to put them all back in the box and start over.

I like this headcanon.

I just started a replay of Corruption and something in Rundas' logbook entry stuck out to me.

"Phazon exposure has greatly enhanced Rundas and his ability to generate ice, making him deadly at any range. His durable ice armor has one weak point—the neck. Serious physical stress can weaken and remove it, exposing Rundas to attack. This weak point cannot be seized as long as Rundas is active. He can create frozen objects at will, and can freeze Missiles in midflight. Smaller ice-based projectiles can be shot down, but it is recommended to evaded larger attacks. Be advised: Rundas can trigger a Hypermode state, elevating his threat level to match your own."

I like the fact the writer of the logbook automatically places Samus a tier above the other Hunters. Who writes that anyway?

Some people say it's Samus in the third person but I think it's the ship's AI.

Oh really when?

That was probably written with Samus's Hypermode in mind.

Yeah, I figured that it referred to Hypermode vs. Hypermode.

Yeah, that does make sense. However I like interpreting it as the ship AI (or whoever writes the log) being confidant in Samus.

I bet the AI was programmed by Samus.
