Metroid (Verse)

Summary

It is a series of video games produced by Nintendo. One of the company's most notable franchises, the series' popularity spans several Nintendo consoles, with the first game, Metroid, released in 1986 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Despite its popularity, it hasn't been the best in terms of sells, and has died twice as a franchise, once after Super Metroid, and another time after Metroid: Other M. Despite these shortcomings, it still remains as one of Nintendo's primary IPs.

The Metroid games chronicle the missions of bounty hunter Samus Aran in a science fiction setting which is heavily inspired by the Alien film franchise. Central plot elements are the Metroid organisms, Phazon, and the Space Pirates which try to exploit the Metroids' powers. The gameplay combines adventure based on exploration and item-gathering with platformer and shooter dynamics.

Overall, Metroid is a very powerful verse. Many characters in it scale to levels as high as Country level, with lesser ones still reaching Building level, Town level or Small City level.

In terms of speed, characters range from Supersonic+ levels all the way to Sub-Relativistic. Note that while ships in the setting have showcased intergalactic flight speed, these are achieved via hyperspace technology, and do not scale to their normal movement speed. Lifting Strength rating reach Class M levels.
