Funny story, when I wore this Zero Suit Samus Cosplay "in public" someone asked me if I was Spiderman. I was incredibly offended, but then realized that the average person would not know who Samus Aran was - let alone how Samus looked without her full suit. As a reminder, below is what Samus looks like fully decked out in Metroid in her awesome mech suit.
To be honest, I first played as Samus when my sister and myself were gifted an N64 console, and we got Super Smash Brothers. In the first iteration of the game, you play Samus in her full suit. And that is part of why I have a soft spot for Samus. You did not even know she was a woman until after you beat the game.
When I did some research into Samus' character backstory I found that her inspirations were Ripley from the Alien franchise as well as Princess Leia from Star Wars. And so, for one of the Cosplay & Comic Book Live stream shows - I decided to don my Zero Suit Samus cosplay to read you guys a Star Wars comic book about Princess Leia and how she and Chewy work together to devise a plan to get Han Solo back.
Let me know what you think and be sure to join me LIVE on Tik Tok at midnight from Monday to Thursday for special comic book readings in cosplay!
