1. Joey Apronika

2. Kreatz

3. Mauk

4. Diesel

5. GFS Tyr Crew

6. Armstrong Houston

7. Zegan Doh

8. Bomad

9. U-Ton

10. Papa Lightning

11. Chozo Elders

12. Greed

13. Bishop

14. Knight

15. Dangelo

16. Pirate Boss

17. Amokmaw

18. Integra

19. Megaroid

So, we had a bit of a conundrum here. Samus, as we know, already has an echo in SA-X. Our comics and manga, offered up two more contenders for that, Samus's wannabe partner Armstrong Houston and the villainous copycat Dangelo. However, one could make the argument that Armstrong Houston, at least, could be an echo of Adam Malkovitch and the Federation Marines. Unfortunately, there ended up being a strong contender for that echo as well. So, what did I do? Well, we'll get to Houston and Dangelo later. For now, let's cover the four survivors of the GFS Tyr from Episode of Aether.

Now, in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the Tyr was the doomed ship whose absence Samus had been called in to investigate, only to find the entire crew had been massacred by Dark Splinters. The comic adaptation of the game leaves four left alive for Samus to interact with during her adventure, though sadly, none of the four would survive the end of the comic, sacrificing their lives to hold the gate open long enough for Samus to defeat Dark Samus. These four are Klaus Schneider, Miguel Luis Garcia, Lily Thran, and Jeff McCloud.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Plasma Cannon

As echoes of the Federation Marines, they will use the same plasma cannons.

Side B: Freeze Gun

Same.

Up B: Extraction

The rescue they never got.

Down B: Mine

Same.

Final Smash: Final Stand

All four will appear together, holding up rifles, as Klaus shouts "For Samus," and the four will fight to their last stand, firing at all enemies around them.

Entrance: They will emerge from behind cover.

Taunts: Up, they will flip a knife around. Side, they will pace back and forth to stand guard. Down, they will pull out Jeff's computer and work on it for a second.

Kirby Hat: Their federation helmets.

Kart: A kart based on the Tyr.

Special Move: The other three will appear, forming a line across the track to prevent anyone from passing them.

Spirit Battle: All four on Final Gate.

Victory Screen: The four will take off in a relief vessel and cheer in victory.

Losing Screen: The screen will look like the scene Samus came upon when she finally emerged after her final battle.

Color Swaps: Klaus, Miguel, Lily, and Jeff, and black-and-white drawing versions of each.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll go over what I decided to do with Armstrong.
