"The last, and most powerful, suit in Samus's inventory is the Phazon Suit. The stylish black-and-red armor can protect Samus from Phazon and all but the most potent of radioactive wastes. It also reduces the amount of damage that you take by a wide margin.

The Super Metroid Nintendo's Player's Guide describes Samus as 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) tall and weighs 198 pounds (90 kg) without her Power Suit.

Samus broke ground early in the gaming world when she debuted in the 1986 game Metroid. Originally players were under the impression that Samus was a male, as the English translation of the instruction manual used male pronouns for her. However, completing Metroid in under five hours revealed Samus to be a young woman.

Samus Aran (サムス・アラン, Samusu Aran) is the main character of the Metroid games. She's a bounty hunter, and helps the Galactic Federation. She has many enemies, including Mother Brain, Ridley, Kraid, Dark Samus, and the Metroids.
