Suitless Dark Samus in Metroid Prime 3?

Hm...

Ever since the release of the new Nintendo Power and this screenshot, I've been contemplating something.

Now this is only a THEORY on my part, but I thought maybe I'd bring it up...

Now here, we have Dark Samus, as illustrated in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Nintendo Power Screenshot of a purple woman (body suit or naked, who knows) approaching Samus.

Think I'm onto something? It's been confirmed that Dark Samus will be a villain in MP3: Corruption, but do you think she could turn up suitless?

Suitless is when I see nipples. Zero suit? Probably.

Probably NOT sero suit. The Metroid Prime series takes place before Metroid Fusion.
It could be a female space pirate.

Err... I think you're talking about the Fusion suit; Zero suit is the suit Samus wears under the normal power suit, as seen in the Space Pirate mothership section of Metroid Zero Mission (and Super Smash Bros. Brawl). Though I have to admit the female space pirate idea is interesting... It's unlikely, because the anatomy (especially the skull structure) is really different from that of the Space Pirates seen in the Prime games; she doesn't look quite... insectoid enough... But it is possible. Wouldn't be the first time that a video game has had biologically/anatomically improbable female characters...

Actually, I've discovered that the woman isn't a space pirate at all. She's actually one of the other Hunters in the game!

As shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZqc99RNSaA

Dark Samus is seen attacking both Samus and the Purple woman and infecting them with Phazon (that's the theme of MP3 -- Corruption. Eventually all the hunters plus Samus herself get corrupted)
