Subject Zero the focus of new Mass Effect 2 screens photo

The first footage of Subject Zero -- a previously unannounced character in Mass Effect 2 -- hit the Internet earlier this weekend. The character-centric trailer revealed a tough-curse-slinging woman with short hair, tattoos, and a desire for what’s in Commander Shepard’s pants. We’re guessing there’s just a little more to Subject Zero, but for right now, we’ll have to take that ridiculousness at face value.

If you missed the footage, definitely give it a spin, but also take the time to check out the screenshots in the gallery below. These images give off the same kind of vibe the video was shooting for without all the hardcore groping, cursing, and punching.

Subject Zero will join Shepard’s little suicide crew in order to aid him in his mission to save the galaxy (or something of that sort). We expect to hear more about Subject Zero in the future -- specifically why she’s so ramped up would be great -- but if we don’t, we’ll certainly learn more when Mass Effect 2 hits in 2010.

So, hum is that all she wears? Don't get me wrong love the idea of a girl wearing only tatoos but isn't she like vulnerable to weapons shoots?

Her outfit reminds me of the fifth element's outfits.

Ugh, bald women are ugly. Unless a woman is a cancer patient it should be against the law for women to be bald. Bleh.

So how long till Fox or some other half assed news media comes out saying she's a neo nazi you can have lesbian sex with?
And then realised how badly they "researched" that bit of "news" afterwards.

Wow, I have a hard time looking at her for more than 2 seconds. She creeps the hell out of me.

I don't think they're necessarily "ramping her up." They seem to be introducing new characters one at a time (Thane, Grunt, and now Subject Zero) and adding screenshots with each new character. Granted, I love Mass Effect, so I've done lots of research on this title.

I won't touch her for dear life. I suppose, before those screens were taken, something big fell on Shepard's head.

I'll do everything in my power to make sure Shepard does her.

She looks awesome but the boyscout belts-as-bikini is just ridiculous. At least put her in a tank top. I smell EA "moar bewbs" marketing at work.

Don't get me wrong, I dig me some tattoos on a woman, but the shaved head...eh. Plus she looks totally psycho.

@ Shadowiii,

What's the matter? Don't like the, "I'll rip your dork off, if you look at me wrong" look?

Well gee, I'm glad they're not abusing the "Darker and Edgier" trope.

I'm tired of her before I even get my hands on the game, that's a good sign...

Yuck! She's gonna give Shepard the clap.

It's at least an interesting, original look for a character, revolting or not.

Did anyone else think of Dragon Age and how she'd probably be better suited to that setting? Regardless, I'll probably end up using her for at least one playthrough if for nothing other than an achievement.

Why are you people making such a fuse? Really... because Ashley Williams was such a freaking delight? That girl just pissed me off, hair or no hair. Subject Zero most certainly isn't going to win the "Pretty, Pretty Princess" award. But who cares?

She's there in your party to be a Fighter and "Biotich (magic) user. Does there need to be more to it then that? She'll definitely make the story more interesting.

Not impressed. For those that participate in the romance part of the game...if she is a possible partner I can't believe she could be taken seriously except for a roll in the hay.

Kinda wish they weren't reveling all of these new characters anyway. Makes me wonder when they are through if anything interesting will be left.

Is it so wrong i'm liking this character? She kind of reminds me of a more violent version of Visas Marr who was one of my favorite KOTOR characters. Also i find bald women attractive. Now all she has to do is prove useful in my squad and i think we have a winner
