The second time you fight Sylux he calls his ship in to fight Samus.

No that happens the first time. All hunters have a scripted first encounter. After that it's random.

There's also the secret ending of Federation Force where he hatches a Metroid egg and presumably takes the larva. The trailer said this takes place in 20X9, which is three years after Federation Force, so presumably his larva Metroid was able to be used as a genetic donor for clone material like the Baby in Super.

That is literally the most important plot point about him lol.

Metroid Prime Hunters was underrated as fuck and I'm still mad about it.

Nah it was appropriately rated. I isn't much of a Metroid game. You only find new weapons, no new abilities.

It's totally a Prime game though. Like really a portable mini-Metroid Prime game and they did an amazing job with it considering the limitations they had with the hardware. It's true most people usually forget its existence because it's handled, from the Prime series and not hated or praised. It definitely deserves a remake cause it aged poorly for different reasons but the game itself is good.

Iirc space pirates will follow the strongest leader in command.

makes sense, seeing as how they’ve followed a dinosaur and a blue samus

As for his motives, my guess is that for whatever reason, Samus has a bounty on her head, and Sylux wants to get paid.

There’s another fan theory suggesting that Sylux hates the Federation (look at the first intro cutscene to Prime Hunters, my boi dive bombs and kills a soldier literally just to make an entrance) and hates Samus by association.

Actually those are real Metroid behind sylux, at the end of federation force (yes federation force) there is a scene where Sylux raids a base and steals a cloned metroid

Sylux stole a metroid egg and made it hatch. Also the ones in the Metroid Prime 4 trailer aren't metroids but mochtroids.

@@kyurei4478 exactly, mochtroids are a much weaker variant of metroids, and since the species is reliant on their queens to produce more, that must mean Sylux got a Metroid who can’t become a queen and so resorted to mochtroid generation.

@@acrazyweeb7225 Good theory. Also maybe they wanted a faster process to create metroids. Btw they never really explained the difference to differenciate a normal metroid from a future queen. The only notable difference I see is Samus' baby got really big at the end of Super Metroid but that's basically it. Other M should have revealed that the baby was supposed to become a queen apparently.

@neuronoc.7343

There really isn't a way to differentiate future queens and mere future omegas, the reason DaBaby got huge was because of all the beta rays overloading and manifesting as the Metroid becoming well, a super Metroid. So should it have been taken back to SR388, it would've probably become one of the galaxy's biggest life forms around.

Oh I don't remember of this beta rays thing or that they were experimenting on it to make it stronger and bigger. I guess there is indeed no way to tell then, much like the aliens in Alien so this stays close to the source material.

I love sylux and I don’t even play Metroid I just knew abt him

Plot twist, sylux is her family in some way, like her brother or father. Idk would be lit to see

Hmmm maybe! She was raised by the Chozo, who gave her the power suit. You see similar ones in Dread. Sylux’s suit looks pretty different, plus there’s his weird alien scream in the Hunters opening? He does still use an arm cannon though. Hmmm, good one to noodle on. Without spoiling, the father thing has already been addressed ;)

I bet he is Adams Malkovichs Brother. So that scene in Other M is not just a waste :v

Hunters is the only Metroid game i've played so far, and I've been telling myself 4 would be a great time to get in on the mainline Prime games since (presumably) the Phazon saga is over. Great jumping on point for somebody who didn't play them! And then 4 shows up with Sylux and I'm like "Wait what? The only game I've ever played is gonna be relevant? Sign me the fuck up!"

I did play Prime 1, but grew up on Hunters. In fact, Hunters and the Demo DS game are probably the very reasons I became a Metroid fan at all, because I then played Super, Zero Mission, Prime 1 and Prime 3 a decade after I first played Hunters.

What if he is Samus' brother and he could be Samus' Vergil ?
