Of course it's different. They're different heroes. She isn't a carbon copy of Iron Man. It was definitely westernize. Every piece of media about metroid in the 80s and 90s was western. It wasn't until Fusion that it even adopted an anime art style. Samus was inspired by Ellen Ripley and this American actress:
That is Samus. That's literally who she was initially created to look like. Metroid was the epitome of western.
