10 Biggest WTF Moments In Recent Video Games

In the Metroid series, Samus Aran has been tasked with eliminating the energy-absorbing Metroids from the galaxy.

Although she seemingly accomplished her mission, the antagonist of Metroid Dread, Raven Beak, points out there is still one Metroid left - Samus herself. Because she used a Metroid's power to defeat the Mother Brain during the events in Super Metroid, our fearless heroine unknowingly absorbed the parasite's DNA. Knowing the power that lies within Samus, Raven Beak intends to create a clone army of Metroids, allowing him to conquer the cosmos.

Despite her best efforts, Samus finds herself unable to best Raven Beak in battle. Just as the corrupted Chozo is about to finish her, Samus' Metroid genes activate, endowing the bounty hunter with enough strength to destroy her rival.

What makes this scene so shocking is watching Samus going absolutely berserk after awakening her full-power. Because she's always been depicted as a calm and collected warrior, it's surreal to see Samus screaming at the top of her lungs as she obliterates her enemy.

Even though Samus has had a ton of badass moments over the years, this scene sits at the very top.
