I had a conversation with Blast recently, I wanted to know why he has an eye patch, you know cause it's usually not for a fashion statement... well unless you're a pirate but he isn't so eh. Turns out he lost it in a fight... wow that's dark. Wait no not Dark, dark, the actual... oh never mind!
Oh and for the "Lore" no he didn't fight Samus that was a joke, but he did get into a fight with someone strong. Seriously how is this small aah guy alive. Even if it was Samus, Blast is like a foot tall!
