The suit protected her from blue Phazon radiation and enabled her to enter a state called Hyper Mode, which wrapped her in a blue aura while being able to fire the massively powerful Phazon Beam. The body of the suit were silver with red highlights and an orange visor.Īlthough the suit was an accident, it gave Samus the highest reduction to damage she can take by 50 percent. The suit gives Samus a dark theme, something which was entirely new to the franchise with her legs, arms, and shoulders being entirely black. Unlike other armor upgrades, the Phazon Suit was ultimately the result of an accident after the Power Suit was corrupted by a highly radioactive substance known as Phazon. Not seen in the classic 2D Metroid games, the Phazon Suit makes its first appearance in Metroid Prime. Just like traditional suits, Samus is able to upgrade the Fusion Suit throughout the game, negating many of the weaknesses she has early on. However, since the suit is based of Metroid DNA, it initially leaves Samus weak to ice such as the SA-X's Ice Beam attack. The suit is less bulky than its older counterparts and gives Samus the ability to absorb Core-X and regular X creatures found in the Biologic Space Laboratories research station. The Metroid DNA altered her genetic makeup and altered the suit with a blue wrap over the familiar yellow parts of armor. Unfortunately, removing the damaged and infected parts of the Power Armor was not enough, and a vaccine based on the last remaining Metroid was used to destroy the remaining X parasites within her.

The Galactic Federation was able to locate her and doctors performed emergency surgery to remove the armor from her body. Samus is incapacitated, unable to fight off the organisms, and falls into a coma. At the start of the game, Samus is attacked by an unknown entity, which would go on to be known as the dangerous X Parasite. Easily one of the most radical changes to the typical Power Armor came inside of Metroid Fusion.
