Samus Aran is a character in the comic book continuity of Captain N: The Game Master. She is based on the video game character of the same name.
Cartoon[]
Samus Aran doesn't appear in the cartoon series because storyboard artist and writer, Jeffrey Scott "never heard of her," despite the character's archenemy being the cartoon show's main villain.
Comic[]
Samus Aran is a beautiful space hunter from Videoland. Her primary adversary is Mother Brain. She uses a starship called Hunter IV to travel between worlds and competes with Princess Lana for Kevin's affections. Samus is impressed by Kevin's skills and believes he would be better off as a space hunter.
Samus was likely written into the comic to fill the gap left by the various third-party characters who were turned down to appear in the comic series.
