Yeppers OB1, the Metroid vaccine is a part of Samus herself. That would be why she almost died when the X infected her very nervous system, and why they injected it directly into her, and why she said "and I was born anew".
Well lazy, isn't it true that Ridley is the same one and only Ridley througout the Metroid series, with the exception of the robo-Ridley at the end of Zero Mission and the Ridley clone in Fusion? I was under the impression that for the most part, Ridley had been tweaked out and revived so many times you'd wonder how much of his original body is left. Well, not that body matters anyway. I'd certainly replace this inferior human form with some sort of futuristic nano-tech body given half a chance. Well, half a chance wouldn't be enough, considering what the word chance means in the first place, but given half a chance, I'd expand that into an ENTIRE chance, and THEN jump right on it.
Bosses are teh suck in Zero, as I said. More I replay, the more I think that. I know I know, the bosses in the original weren't all that good either. They too were morons who basically just sat there while you found cute hiding spots to pount them with missiles. However, that's not exactly the sort of thing they should have kept intact in the remake :D. I do believe Ridley COULD catch missiles in Metroid 3 and so on. The ability to pick you up and hold you against a wall until you did something he didn't expect would have been nice. Sure, it allows him to have developed those new strategies for his revival in M3, but still, he could have done something. See what you get when Nintendo does what you ask OB1? They are like those goth genies on the X-Files who don't actually grant the wish you ask for, but reanalyze what you said until they find out how they can grant the wish you DIDN'T want, and DIDN'T ask for, but they can say you did to the Genie high council later on.
Ya know, I found out you can't do a quick save in Metroid 1 on Metroid Zero. You can even do that quick save on the M1 they have in Metroid Prime, but not the version in Zero. I can see why, there's no second controller. Still, that was very useful, to be able to "save" without having to die, and more importantly, get out of those odd situations where I can neither get out (due to not having the right tool or whatever) or die. Oh well, that stretched thing messes with my abilities anyway. I move faster horizontaly than vertically. That's why I never stretch the screen on any of my GB/GBC games, the distortion affects how I play that way. When Link used to move just as fast both directions but now is superficially sped up left and right, I can't play the same way.
Me, I can't draw at all. I can barely write legibly. It's why I don't think I should be doing computer graphics. My mouse control in an attempt to model some frame would be terrible and I'd end up with some duck with a tumor in it's head rather than a unicorn like I wanted.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
