      The beam has been "given" to her in different forms too, so canonical order: her first hyper beam was the phazon beam she got from phazon hyper mode in prime 1, later she obtained a hyper beam she can use at will in corruption, next she got some kinda special natural hyper beam from the baby metroid which is it in the purest form, and finally, the new hyper beam she got was due to (spoilers! Scroll down to read the rest)

    Okay so the thing I noticed on the first fight is how... borderline PERFECT the player gets it... even the attacks seem to almost hit Samus but don't.... it feels like a movie scene where Samus just finally CUTS LOOSE and unloads everything onto Mother Brain and NOTHING the hag-like beast has can stop her or even slow her down! She briefly lives up to what the title of the series translate to.... The Ultimate Warrior.

      No, Dread's Hyper Beam more likely an Easter egg to the one in corruption. It only happens because if you don't go off Hyper Mode in Corruption, you enter a stage called Hyper Sickness which is nightmare fuel. Also, just pointing out to you all, Hyper Beam can ONLY be activated by the Mark of the Metroid.
