NOTICE: This is a Recap page, so all spoilers will be left unmarked, per wiki policy. Read ahead only with caution! You Have Been Warned.

The bounty hunter is one of the most badass professions ever, and fiction provides us with Boba Fett, the most feared bounty hunter in the Star Wars canon, and Samus Aran of Metroid fame.

Boba Fett is known for his cunning, ruthlessness, and brute force. For defense, his Mandalorian body armor is robust and protects from poison, fire, acid, and cold. His large arsenal provides him with a flamethrower, lasers, and missiles, but he is most known for his EE-3 Carbine Rifle and his jetpack (which has a built in anti-vehicle rocket). In the end, Boba Fett is a total badass who has taken down hundreds of marks, although he sometimes just has a massive brain-fart and totally blows it.

His opponent, Samus Aran, had enhanced DNA giving her superhuman strength, speed, and excellent overall athletic ability. Her greatest asset is the Power Suit, a highly upgradable piece of equipment that protects the entire body without any setbacks in movement or flexibility. Her arm cannon can fire a wide variety of beams and missiles, and she can roll up into a ball, which enables her to deploy special bombs (called Power Bombs, they are very powerful) and get to hard to reach places. She has a reputation for doing the impossible, and she has fought large beasts and even exterminated an entire race.

After an ad from Netflix, we see Samus's ship flying through space. Fett shoots her down to Earth. She emerges from her craft and Fett confronts her.

FIGHT!

Samus fires off a series of shots that don't even have the range to reach Fett, who retaliates with a barrage of lasers. Samus dodges by jumping up and simultaneously firing off a missile which causes significant damage to Fett. Samus lands in front of her opponent but finds herself on the receiving end of a flamethrower. She jumps out of the way and fires a rocket, but Fett is quick to use his jetpack. An aerial attack forces him to the ground, and Samus is forced to retreat under heavy missile fire (which includes the homing missile). She sneaks behind Fett and deploys a Power Bomb. She then gets in front of Fett, who can only get off a single shot before being frozen by Samus's Ice Beam. Samus charges up a shot, rolls to get right in front of Fett, and aims up to blow off his head from a crouching position.

K.O!

Wiz and Boomstick conclude that Fett certainly didn't go down without a fight, but Samus's superior athletic abilities enabled her to dodge Fett's attacks, and her superior technology enabled her to really dish it out. It is also noted that the anti-vehicle homing missile, one of Fett's most powerful weapons, is inaccurate against human sized targets.

Boomstick: She sure stopped him cold!
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick!
Boomstick: The winner is Samus Aran!
