Samus: Hero or Zero?

After playing many Metriod games that include other hunters, I have to wonder: "Why is Samus concidered the best hunter?" Compared to the other hunters who all have crazy powers, she has an inferior arsenal, no real powers to speak of except for her morph ball which the other hunters have a form of, and she can't fly like the others can. The only thing great about Samus is her computer skills, reflexes (demonstrated early on in Metriod Prime 3), and seems to always be at the right place at the right time. Hardly special skills. So one has to wonder why a weakling like Samus is the best of the best in the world of hunters, even though it takes her 5 mins. to kill some boss that takes...maybe...Ghor only a second?
I guess the answer is that she is invincible. Unlike the other hunters/characters, once she dies she simply comes back to life at the last save station-she can't lose! I guess that IS pretty good...
Another problem with Samus is her butter-finger complex. After every game, she ends up losing most of, if not all of, her powers. Like at the end of MP2 she so kindly returns an incredibly powerful suit to the Luminoth for pretty much no reason. Can we say "DUMB"?!
But besides all of this, I got Drawn to Life for DS. Its good. If you like art and want to make a game based on it, this game is for you!
