Not to turn this into a discussion on Metroid, but no. A single bolt of garden-variety lightning can be measured in megawatts, and those burn at upwards of 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You're suggesting that her basic power beam is over a million times more powerful than that. A single blast would not only kill whatever she aimed it at, but would burn the entire surrounding area into a big molten puddle, if not entirely igniting the entire atmosphere.

To be fair, Metroid blatantly defies physics, it's truly ridiculous. Blame the creators of Metroid for making such outrageous figures, I'm not the one suggesting this, they are. I'm just pointing out the in game facts and info I know. The description of the Volt Driver in Prime Hunters specifically states that it "fires multi-terrawatt bursts of energy". Considering she has stronger weapons than that, it becomes even more absurd. But it's fictional sci-fi, stuff like screwing phsyics over is common.

Forgive the off topic post...

I have no idea why you decided to bring Samus into this thread. Honestly, none. Perhaps you'd be best to pit her against some worthy foe in a thread of your own, hm?

I'd have to give this one to the Space Marine, regardless of Chapter. Johnny and his lot are tough, no doubt about it, but if anyone has read anything from the 40K universe involving Space Marines (which is kinda hard not to do when you think about it), they'd know just how formidable they are.

Not like I was trying to make this her fight, no need to be rude... My explanation is this: my logic was mentioning her as a simple comparison example. The fact that a Spartan could be killed by her so easy, only to have a Chapter such as an Ultramarine be capable of defeating her, stack this thread even more heavily in the Space Marine's favor. That's all I was getting at, can make simple comparisons in mention for the benefit of the debate?

Eh, I'll drop it now...

On topic, I agree. Regardless of Chapter or rank, it won't matter. Space Marine stomps this.

If the Spartan is Masterchief, he'd win. He took out the Flood, pretty sure he can deal with one space marine.

Oh, wow. If only I had the vocabulary and eloquence necessary to describe the ways in which Master Chief would be annihilated by any Space Marine, but I do not. Suffice to say, it would be one of the most one-sided matches in the existence of one-sided matches. If a Space Marine was entered into, Say, the Halo 3 game, I am completely confident that you would finish every level on the highest difficulty without even coming close to dying. For a start, you would be moving several times faster than everything else, so all of your enemies would be plodding along. The heaviest-armoured vehicles would be obliterated with a few shots from a bolter, and they wouldn't even have time to get a shot off before they were destroyed. Space Marine armour could probably absorb every ballistic weapon in the game. And close quarters? Forget about it. 20 Halo Spartans may have a chance, but only if they use strategy.

Space Marine would win...probably win easily. they fight things from hell on a regular basis.
