Samson is a fictional constructed figure within the narrative world of the 28 Days Later film series. He is introduced in the film 28 Years Later (2025) as an "Alpha" classification of the infected and later returns as a central character in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026). Sources describe him as a pronounced subtype of the contagion known in the series as the "rage virus."
Source descriptions in the cited material are limited; Samson is described as "an unusually large and highly aggressive variant of the infected." No additional corroborated physical details (coloration, wounds, clothing, facial features) are provided in the available sources.
Described in sources primarily in behavioral and physical terms: unusually large size and markedly higher aggression relative to other infected. The supplied texts do not list supernatural powers or specific quantified abilities beyond these descriptors.
