Samus Aran came at a top when females weren’t necessarily portrayed as lead characters in a video game, and even if she was only put there as an afterthought and a surprise to the players. It doesn’t matter how she got there, what matters is it definitely changed video game history.
She’s been one of the most influential female characters in video game history–and even after thirty years the franchise she’s in still reigns supreme. Plus, you have to admit no one looks quite as striking as Samus in a Power Suit. Does our leading lady have a few dark secrets though?
It turns out Samus wasn’t going to be a female at first. The design team had almost finished the entire game before they decided to stick a girl in the suit. Although, it’s never been verified even the original manuals had Samus as a male. Although, Nintendo tries to say this was done in an effort to keep the person in the suit’s identity a secret until the end. But come on, who really reads those game manuals?
Samus also was vying for the attention of two men in her life–one of which we’re not sure how we feel about their relationship. Adam and Samus arguably have had chemistry since their first introduction she calls him her “best friend” and a father figure but we’re not sure if we can agree there’s anything romantic going on there. Kevin and Samus were part of a Nintendo Power comic series where Samus was always trying to get Kevin’s attention, at the dismay of N-Team Leader Princess Lana.
