Background

The Metroid Suit is Samus Aran's final Suit upgrade in Metroid Dread. Unlike other suit upgrades, which are power-ups she acquires, the Metroid Suit is the result of the DNA transplant Samus received from her vaccine, fully awakening and turning her into a human Metroid.

Throughout her battles on ZDR, the Metroid DNA in Samus's body begins to awaken, allowing her to absorb energy from other life forms through physical contact. Raven Beak sought to use the E.M.M.I. to extract this DNA, intending to use it to revive the Metroid species and use them to take over the galaxy.

During their final confrontation, Raven Beak reveals that Samus was able to keep her Metroid powers at bay because the Chozo DNA she received as a child came from the Thoha tribe, the only ones who can control the Metroids. However, she had also received Mawkin DNA, which granted her physical prowess. Her earlier encounter with Raven Beak initiated her true Metroid powers surfacing, as the creatures were created to respond violently to Mawkin Chozo. Raven Beak chose to spare Samus after their first encounter to allow her to become the most powerful Metroid that ever existed, something that could only be achieved by subjecting her to countless battles. Once she achieved this, he intended to clone Samus and create an army to conquer the galaxy.

Despite putting up a fight, Samus is ultimately overwhelmed, but when things seem dire, her Metroid powers fully awaken. Her suit assumes a green-and-red organic appearance as she drains the energy of Raven Beak and Itorash, causing the fortress to crash into Hanubia. Surviving the crash, but greatly wounded, Raven Beak is suddenly taken over by a purple X and violently transformed into a hulking monstrosity called Raven Beak X. Samus uses the Hyper Beam - also given to her in her rage - to eradicate both Raven Beak and the X.

As ZDR begins to self-destruct, Samus returns to her ship on the surface, but is stopped from activating it by ADAM. He warns her that she would risk draining the ship's energy, dooming her. Fortunately, Quiet Robe, infected by an X but still retaining his benevolent nature, appears and allows Samus to absorb him. His Thoha DNA stabilizes her Metroid DNA, causing the Metroid Suit to revert to the Gravity Suit and suppressing Samus's energy draining power. She safely flies off of ZDR before it explodes.

Superior to the Fusion Suit which Samus used to fight and defeat the SA-X, who possess Samus’ strongest abilities. Later versions of the power suit are used by a Samus Aran who during her battle with Integras her battle power increases to where she is able to defeat the Integras when beforehand she couldn’t even dent him with her attacks, it is also noted that the Integras is 500 times more powerful than the prototype Samus fought equally with initially. Can later on fight an army of Integras. Can erupt an underwater volcano with a regular beam)

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Samus’ suit is built with an infrared ray scope allowing her to see even in the dark. Can detect the Shadow Pirates who use invisibility cloaks to sneak attack. The Thermal Visor uses thermography, allowing Samus Aran to locate enemies or objects by their heat signatures. It can be used to see Shadow Pirates and is also useful in total darkness, extreme cold, and in poor weather conditions, like those in Phendrana Drifts; though it functions poorly in superheated areas, such as the Magmoor Caverns. The X-Ray Visor can be used to spot invisible enemies and enemies that move outside of existence, even those that don't appear to the Thermal Visor, and it also allows Samus to see through flesh (when she lifts her arm in front of the visor, the bones in her arm can be seen), Bendezium, Cordite, and Sandstone. It can also detect illusions), Cosmic Awareness (The suit’s visors can translate telepathic messages from spectral beings. Samus’ suit can pick up on transdimensional activity), Self-Sustenance & Aquatic Breathing (Type 1; Has an oxygen tank inside the suit allowing Samus to breathe in space and underwater. Her power suit allows her to breathe in space and underwater without additional equipment), Homing Attack, Extrasensory Perception & Information Analysis (With the combat visor, gives her the basic feedback she needs to survive. It monitors her energy levels, all ammunition remaining, danger levels, and gives her feedback from the environment to pinpoint any anomalies to send her in the right direction. When enemies appear, they are surrounded by a reticle However, the Combat Visor only sees things in this dimension; therefore objects outside the visible spectrum or interdimensional objects cannot be seen. The scan visor, Samus can scan certain objects to learn more about them or perform a function. When a scan has finished, the game action freezes to allow Samus to read its contents. If Samus scans a creature, enemy or boss, Samus will gain useful hints on how to beat them, such as weak spots and behavioral patterns. Her morph ball bombs can home and attack themselves onto an enemy), Data Manipulation, Information Manipulation, & Transmutation (If Samus has weapon and ammunition stored as data in her suit she can transform the data of weapons into tangible forms. With Crystal Flash, Samus’ power suit can transform all of her weapons into health. Can convert data into her suit to gain further information about areas, such as getting an entire map, though she can do this even without her suit. Can download data of areas to get maps. Can hack into areas and oversurge them), Power Absorption (With Crystal Flash, Samus can absorb all of her weapons in order to heal herself completely), Regeneration & Restoration (Mid-Low passively. The suit passively repairs broken parts and small injuries. Low-Mid with concentration. With concentration, Samus can restore her missile supply and health), Technology Manipulation (The power suit reacts to Samus' thoughts, thus allowing her to be protected from damage in her zero suit state by automatically coming in an area she’s about to be attacked in), Body Control (The power suit is described as a “sort of second skin” for Samus protecting her zero suit from any form of harm. With the morph ball can change her suit into the shape of a ball to access smaller areas), Energy Absorption (Samus’ suit absorbs all the energy from attacks allowing Samus to withstand various attacks, absorbed an attack from Ridley), Reactive Adaptation (Her suit will at times adapt in situations that are fatal to Samus, for example in Metroid Prime Samus is susceptible and can take damage from the smallest amount of phazon, after defeating the Omega Pirate who is filled with Phazon and the enemy falls on her filling her with phazon the suit adapts to this protecting her by creating the phazon suit which resists the affects of phazon and can fire blasts of phazon), Energy Manipulation & Power Nullification (The power suit can shoot out charged energy blast, that can disrupt energy shields. With the charge beam, can charge in the energy to fire a more powerful blast. With the grapple beam, creates a beam of energy to swing around. Can shoot a massive energy beam that obliterates everything in its path without needing to charge), Passive Attack Reflection (Her suit seems to passively reflect back beams shot at her. Can deflect projectiles by swinging her arm), Status Effect Inducement (Can stun enemies with counter), Explosion Manipulation (Can set explosions down with bombs), Durability Negation (Wave Beam can travel through objects hitting one's internal body), Ice Manipulation (Can freeze with the ice beam. With the ice beam can freeze beings in mid air, this extends to it being capable of freezing pure energy. The Ice Spreader is a Charge Combo for the Ice Beam in Metroid Prime. It uses a charged Ice Beam shot and 10 Missiles to create a powerful, homing blast of ice that can travel up to 20 meters until reaching a target. When this occurs, the shot explodes and creates a fast-spreading layer of ice over the target and surrounding area. The target and nearby enemies will either die or be frozen), Resistance Manipulation (The Ice Missiles can temporarily freeze SA-X who is an X-Parasite with all of Samus’ strongest abilities, which would include the Varia Suit’s resistance to ice manipulation as shown with Samus being protected from freezing within), Statistics Amplification (The range of her beam increases with the long beam. The speed booster boosts her speed while running. The hi-jump increases her maximum jump height. The morph ball increases one’s attack and defense everytime it bounces), Explosion Manipulation (With missile launcher, can fire out explosive missiles, and bombs, can fire out highly explosive bombs), Surface Scaling (Can grab and hang on to ledges with the power grip), Electricity Manipulation (Samus’ suit can reboot the technology and electricity of old broken down machines. Wave Beams are electrical energy that can kill Pulse Bombus and Scatter Bombu), Multiple Jumps & Flight (With the space jump, can jump continually into the air infinitely), Hacking (Can hack into areas to open locked doors), Magma Manipulation, Heat Manipulation, & Deconstruction (The plasma beam’s molten energy can turn enemies to ash), Fire Manipulation (The Flamethrower is the Beam Combo for the Plasma Beam. When this beam combo is unleashed, it emits a three-meter range continuous beam of fiery plasma. With Magmamaul, her weapon is powered by a hyperstatic hydrogen core, and fires cohesive projectiles of superheated magma), Vibration Manipulation (Plasma causes seismic activity), Limited Physics Manipulation & Acrobatics (Can double jump with the space boots), Magnetism Manipulation (Can pull in beings and objects with a charged shot), Non-Physical Interaction, Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation), & Immortality Negation (Type 7; Can kill the Chozo Ghost who are completely immaterial and can phase in and out of existence), Absorption (Samus can absorb the X-parasite due to the metroid DNA inside of her. Samus' encounter with Raven Beak caused her Metroid DNA to accelerate making her fully become a Metroid. She is able to even absorb non-organic lifeforms such as a ship), Light Manipulation & Limited Teleportation (With flash shift, moves at a flash of light and teleports a short distance), Invisibility (By refracting light, Samus is completely invisible to opponents, this extends to beings with Enhanced Senses), Extrasensory Perception (With Pulse Radar, able to detect invisible or hidden objects and blocks), Can damage enemies with somersaults with the screw attack, Resistance to Acid Manipulation (Unaffected by the acid rain of Zebes), Ice Manipulation (Can break out of ice potent enough to freeze the surface of the sun), Absorption (None of the Megatroids could life absorb Samus), Gravity Manipulation (Could resist gravitational crushing, along with her morph ball naturally resisting it), Matter Manipulation (Can resist her atoms disintegrating)

Other

Weaknesses: The fusion suit is based on the user's emotions and thoughts, thus anything done to their emotions could weaken the power suit, for example, when Samus gets hit with PTSD.
