Line 194:
* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]: The Deleter disposed of it in a pool of lava. As a result, he is officially listed as "Missing in Action" in the post-credits character log}}.
* [[The Quiet One]]: He doesn't really ''seem'' like the type who doesn't talk much, but nevertheless he only gets about two short lines in the game.
* [[Translation Convention]]: For his name for some reason. In English speaking countries it was Flanderized to K.G. despite it being Keiji in Japan. Note that the two names are pronounced the same and that there was no reason for it considering that another [[Mass Effect 2|Keiji was in another game roughly around the same time.]]▼
* [[Token Minority]]: Not completely token due to Anthony, but the only squad member of Asian descent.

=== Fleet Admiral Castor Dane ===
Line 237:
* [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Weavel's suit has a mild green tint and the battle hammer is green.
* [[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.▼
* [[Mark of Shame]]: His new cybernetic body is a constant reminder of Weavel being completely wasted by Samus. In fact, it's the reason why he is no longer a high-ranking Pirate.
▲* [[Parts Unknown]]: Said in the game's intro.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Apparently, Weavel lost his body while fighting Samus on Zebes in the first game. In Brinstar. Which never contained any Pirates at this point in the chronology, neither in the first game nor in ''Zero Mission''.
* [[Space Pirate]]: Though technically, he is no longer officially affiliated with them.
* [[Swiss Army Appendage]]: He has the trademark Space Pirate scythe, which he only uses in his alt-form during game play. This one is actually a rather mild example as far as Pirates go, because while Weavel's scythe is merely ''attached'' to his arm, Pirate tend to ''replace'' their arms with such scythes.▼
* [[Splash Damage]]: The battle hammer has a bigger blast radius when used by him
▲* [[Swiss Army Appendage]]: He has the trademark Space Pirate scythe, which he only uses in his alt-form during game play. This one is actually a rather mild example as far as Pirates go, because while Weavel's scythe is merely ''attached'' to his arm, Pirate tend to ''replace'' their arms with such scythes.
* [[The Turret Master]]: He can split his body in half and the lower half will become a turret.
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: He was originally just a high-ranked space pirate (probably a Commando or Trooper) until he was completely blown to smithereens by Samus and rebuilt as a cyborg.
Line 251:
[[File:Noxus 4264.jpg|frame]]
* [[An Ice Person]]: By way of his [[Weapon of Choice]], the Judicator. He can release a vapor wall that freezes enemies in place when he charges a shot.▼
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: Though most of the industrial world considers bounty hunting to be a criminal activity, Noxus became a bounty hunter specifically to fight criminals and other forms of "evil". Times have really changed in the space age.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: From the hunter himself, to his ice weapon, to the doors that can be opened once Samus gets his weapon, his main color is purple.
Line 256 ⟶ 257:
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: The only reason he even ends up fighting against Samus is because his goal is to keep the Ultimate Power out of the wrong hands. Presumably, Samus and the Galactic Federation would fall under "the wrong hands."
* [[I Have the High Ground]]: In the game's intro.
▲* [[An Ice Person]]: By way of his [[Weapon of Choice]], the Judicator. He can release a vapor wall that freezes enemies in place when he charges a shot.
* [[Knight Templar]]: He left his home world to go on a crusade against all evil in the universe.
* [[Natural Weapon]]: The Vhoscythe.
Line 302:
[[File:Trace 4450.jpg|frame]]
* [[Exclusively Evil]]: His race, the Kriken, thrives off of being this, almost to the extent of putting the [[Space Pirates]] to shame.▼
* [[Bio Augmentation]]: The Triskeleton is the result of this.
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: He entered this field of work in hopes he would find suitable worlds for his kin to conquer, which makes you wonder how he ever gets work. That or technology that would revolutionize his empire.
* [[Cold Sniper]]: His weapon, the Imperialist, is a red laser that actually has a sniping scope of sorts. As such, it has the longest range of any of the hunters' weapons.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: From the hunter himself, to his sniper weapon, to the doors that can be opened once Samus gets his weapon, his main color is red.
▲* [[Exclusively Evil]]: His race, the Kriken, thrives off of being this, almost to the extent of putting the [[Space Pirates]] to shame.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Samus, or at least the scan visor, suspect him of being one of these.
* [[Human Ladder]]: He stands atop a mount of what can be presumed to be other Kriken in the intro.
Line 321:
[[File:Rundas 2077.gif|frame]]
* [[An Ice Person]]: He can generate ice and control the movement of the ice he creates.▼
* [[Badass]]: The scan visor says his threat level matches Samus's.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: With only ''seconds'' to spare, Rundas [[Catch a Falling Star|saves]] Samus from reaching the reactor of an energy shaft after she just dueled Ridley in a free-fall battle. This was his [[Establishing Character Moment]], and part of what made him so endearing to the fandom.
Line 331 ⟶ 332:
* [[Elemental Armor]]: Sometimes encases himself in it, other times uses it to provide cover. It's surprisingly durable but not unbreakable; the easiest thing to do is trick him into helping you with it.
* [[Expy]]: He visually resembles Noxus and has ice powers (to Noxus's freeze gun). He fights much differently, however, and is not a Knight Templar.
* [[I Work Alone]]: According to Federation reports, this was his attitude before he met Samus (who he seems to bond with); it explains some of his actions on Bryyo too.▼
▲* [[An Ice Person]]: He can generate ice and control the movement of the ice he creates.
▲** [[Hand Blast]]: They have the same sound effect as the Prime ice beam.
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: He kills at least one enemy this way {{spoiler|and himself.}}
* [[Irony]]: When he is attempting to halt the argument, he mentions that they are the good guys, justice will prevail, and all that stuff. Guess what happens to each of the Hunters barring Samus a few weeks to a month later?
▲* [[I Work Alone]]: According to Federation reports, this was his attitude before he met Samus (who he seems to bond with); it explains some of his actions on Bryyo too.
* [[Justice Will Prevail]]: He claims this as the hunters are all arguing: "Hey, relax. We're the good guys. justice will prevail and all that stuff... right, Samus?"
* [[Literally Shattered Lives]]: to a pirate
Line 355:
* [[Arm Cannon]][[Guns Akimbo|s Akimbo]]: Two in his armor in addition to a [[Chest Blaster]]
* [[The Big Guy]]: With his suit; outside of it, Rundas is larger than him.
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: Power armor has two.
Line 393:
* [[Elemental Punch]]: Strikes the ground when she wants space.
* [[Energy Beings]]: It seems the reason Gandrayda is able to shapeshift is because her natural form isn't really physical to begin with.
* [[Green-
* [[Homing Projectile]]: Air based blades and a ground based spark.
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]
Line 404 ⟶ 405:
* [[Man Child]]: According to scans, her psyche has "a high degree of youthfulness."
* [[Mega Manning]]: {{spoiler|Samus gets Grapple Voltage from Gandrayda}}.
▲* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Purple Skinned Space Babe]]: Or pink. Whichever you [[Fetish Fuel|prefer.]]
* [[The Rival]]: She really wanted to prove herself a better bounty hunter than Samus, who in turn [[Unknown Rival|didn't even know who Gandrayda was]] until Metroid Prime 3.
* {{spoiler|[[Shapeshifter Swan Song]]: Including both Rundas and Ghor, and most hauntingly, Samus herself}}.
Line 476:
* [[Brain In a Jar]]
* [[Death by Irony]]: Almost manages to kill Samus in ''Super Metroid'', but is suddenly attacked by the fully-grown {{spoiler|baby Metroid she stole}}, which chomps her head in retaliation. Ha!
* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}: In ''Super Metroid''. Yikes.
* [[
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: In the non-canon [[Captain N]] show.
* [[Scare Chord]]: The melody for her battle music in ''Super Metroid'' consists of these.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: They serve no practical purpose otherwise.
* [[Stationary Boss]]: Most of the time.
* [[Sympathy for the Devil]]: {{spoiler|In ''Other M'' in the form of Melissa Bergman.}}
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: Depending on which source you are looking at, she either let the Space Pirates into Zebes to kill the Chozo or took over the Space Pirate when they came into Zebes then had them kill the Chozo.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: In the manga, it's explained that her true goal is to bring order into the galaxy.
