Overview

The incredibly sexy Samus Aran is a playable character that made her video game debut in Metroid. Serving as the story’s main protagonist, Samus is portrayed in the Metroid series as a bounty hunter who was hired by the Galactic Federation to battle (and destroy) criminals known as “Space Pirates.” Samus was well-acquainted with the Space Pirates, as her home was raided and destroyed by them when she was only three years of age, leaving her orphaned and alone in the universe. After being rescued (and adopted) by a birdlike race of people known as the Chozo, Samus eventually became one of the finest warriors on their planet, training extensively in weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. After a brief stint with the Galactic Federation Army, Samus eventually set out on her own, driven by the memory of her parents, as well as the desire to capture (and kill) Ridley, the Space Pirate responsible for the destruction of her home and family.

Powers and Abilities

Samus Aran is a well-trained and gifted warrior with a number of powers and abilities. Utilizing a power suit that consists of military-grade armor (designed by the Chozo), Samus is granted unparalleled strength and agility, allowing her to jump, hover, and strike with incredible grace and power. Likewise, her suit provides her with a number of offensive and defensive capabilities, including a missile launcher, power bombs, and shielding that protects her from harm. In conjunction with her extensive knowledge of combat and military maneuvers, alien physiology (including Phazon, Metroid, and Chozo DNA), and extreme athleticism, Samus Aran is a powerful opponent that should never be underestimated in the field of combat.

Appearance

Samus Aran is an incredibly attractive woman, and is one of the first (playable) female characters to have been introduced in the video game industry. She is extremely tall for a lady (standing at 6’3”), and weighs approximately 198 pounds without her Power Suit. The vast majority of this weight, however, is the result of her extremely athletic and muscular body. Samus is also well-proportioned, possessing long legs, a massive bust, a slim waist, and wide hips (giving her the much-desired “hourglass” figure). Combined with her long blonde hair (which she wears in a ponytail), bluish-green eyes, and full set of lips, she is truly an incredible sight to behold (especially in her skintight “Zero-Suit” attire). As one of the sexiest figures in video game history, her number two ranking on our current list is well-deserved.
