'''Dark Samus''' is the main antagonist of the ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' subseries of the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] debuting in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. She is a doppelganger of [[Samus Aran]] and a form of [[MetroidWiki:Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]], created after it merged with Samus's [[MetroidWiki:Phazon Suit|Phazon Suit]] to survive following its defeat on [[metroidwiki:Tallon IV|Tallon IV]] in the original ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''.
 
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Dark Samus does not appear in a physical form, though she appears as both a collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], both depicting her appearance in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''. In Subspace Emissary, her sticker can only be equipped by Samus and [[Zero Suit Samus]], and gives them a +11 increase in their battering resistance when equipped.
 
A "Dark Samus" appears in co-op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides, though while it is meant to represent this character, this Dark Samus is merely Samus's model recolored to be completely black.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===
[[File:Dark Samus Wii U.jpg|thumb|Dark Samus as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
Dark Samus appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', taking her appearance from ''[[MetroidWiki:Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. She attacks using a variety of Phazon-based abilities, such as tentacles that sprout from the ground, a burst of shots from her arm cannon, or spherical missiles that home in on enemies. If enough damage is dealt to her, a ball of light forms around her before she disappears; otherwise, she simply disappears after a period of time. Dark Samus is also the basis for one of Samus's alternate colorations.

Dark Samus is as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', which marks not only her playable debut in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but also her first playable appearance in any game. Being an Echo Fighter of Samus, Dark Samus has the same moveset but with different properties. She also floats above the ground in a fashion similar to [[Mewtwo]]. Dark Samus's [[Final Smash]], [[smashwiki:Phazon Laser|Phazon Laser]], is similar to Samus's [[smashwiki:Zero Laser|Zero Laser]], though it is colored black rather than blue. Dark Samus's Classic Mode route is titled "The Great Poison Given Form," where she teams up with "dark" versions of characters against protagonists.

There are many theories on the origin of Dark Samus, but none are proven. Dark Samus uses Phazon for energy and can absorb it to heal damage. Samus encounters Dark Samus a number of times.
