Metroid/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[The Blank]]: Possibly. It's not entirely clear if that yellow section of his head where his face would be is a cybernetic face or just a visor. A fan theory is that he's a Ki-Hunter, which would make that yellow part his actual face if true.

* [[Bounty Hunter]]

* [[Cool Ship]]: Though it's not as prominent as the Delano 7, it can be seen in the intro movie, where Weavel is using it to evade the GF Police. It's also briefly seen on {{spoiler|the Oubliette}}.

* [[Parts Unknown]]: Said in the game's intro.

* [[Bounty Hunter]]

* [[Collision Damage]]: The Dialanche, as seen in the intro. It has to be right when he transforms or at full speed, though, so you're better off using the attack button instead.

* [[Last of His Kind]]: Indeed, the reason why he is seeking the Ultimate Power in the Alimbic system is because it may provide him with an opportunity to find out what happened to the rest of his species.

* [[Magma Man]]: In fact, according to his scans, his body contains "molten ferrous compounds normally found only in ''a planet's core''." His weapon of choice shoots lava grenades, and charged shots light things on fire, doing more damage when he uses it. He can also move through lava without taking damage.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Samus.

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: There's a reason he's the leader of the space pirates.

* [[Badass]]: It's heavily implied that the only person in the entire galaxy who is a threat to him is Samus.

** Let's see what he (chronologically) accomplishes:

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Perhaps this is [[Alternate Character Interpretation]], but he and Samus tend to parallel one another, with being extremely powerful and intelligent. They are also presented with the same option of killing or sparing {{spoiler|each other as}} a child with opposite results. Additionally, Ridley and Samus are just as unkillable; Samus as a player character can "continue" if killed, and Ridley "continues" every time he dies.

* {{spoiler|[[Genetic Memory]]: His clone in ''Other M'' seems to know EXACTLY who Samus is.}}

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: It's [[All There in the Manual]]. Finally somewhat shown in ''Other M''.

* [[Informed Attribute]]: The intelligence that he exhibits in the manga, and which pretty much all supplementary material talks about, is never really touched upon in-game. Then again, we rarely see him when he's not fighting Samus, so who knows. Though it does get shown a bit {{spoiler|by his clone in ''Other M''.}}

[[File:Mother Brain 2771.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[Big Bad]]: More often than not. Could be considered the most prominent [[Big Bad]] of the main series.

* [[Brain In a Jar]]

* [[Aquatic Mook]]: They create some mermaid pirates if you stick around to see it.

* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: The SA-X. Doubles as multiple [[Crowning Moment of Funny|crowning moments of funny]] if exploited.

* [[Body Horror]]: Through the process of infecting hosts, the X either take over or mimic the body, typically while mutating the original form into something much worse. Samus doesn't have even have to be fully infected for this trope to come into play for her.

* [[Cosmic Horror Story]]: They'd fit right in one just as well as any eldritch creature, which is why Metroids were made.
