Cell

"Ah, you've come out of hiding, now the games will get really interesting."

-Cell

=First Form=



Cell starts out as a monster like green creature that absorbs people to make himself stronger. He was created by Dr. Gero, who gave him the cells of many of the DBZ heroes, and villains. Goku, Frieza, and Piccolo to name a few. Cell came from the future to absorb androids 17 and 18 so he could become "perfect", which he couldn't do in his time because Trunks had killed them both.



After absorbing android 17, Cell became much more powerful, and human-like in appearance. Vegeta fought him in his "ascended saiyan" form, andf was almost able to defeat him. Before he could, Cell used Vegeta's pride against him, and was able to convince him to help him absorb android 18 so Vegeta could have a "real challenge".



Once he had absorbed 18, Cell's powers became far greater than that of the heroes. He easily defeated Vegeta and Trunks after obtaining this form. When fighting Piccolo, Cell gets the idea to bring back the world martial arts tournament, in the form of the Cell Games. In the Cell games, Cell creates clones of himself, which he dub Cell Jr, to keep the other heroes busy while he fought Goku. When Cell believes he is about to lose, he starts to set off the bomb that had been placed in his body, and Goku nobly decides to be the one to take care of him, He uses instant transmission to transport him to King Kai's planet, in order to avoid the destruction of Earth. This did not destroy Cell however, because, as Cell reveal, as long as a single cell of him still existed he could come back. Gohan decides to fight him, and becomes the first Super Saiyan 2 in the process, with guidance from his deceased father, he is able to use a kamehameha to destroy Cell once and for all.
