“	Now die with this planet! Grah!	„
	~ Cooler to Goku

“	Struggle all you want! It's over! That's what you get for disgracing my family!	„
	~ Cooler to Son Goku

Background

Cooler is the first son of King Cold and older brother of Frieza, who leads his own small squadron known as Cooler’s Armoured Squadron. Although Cooler has seemingly no affiliation with his brother and father’s armies, Cooler is in the same line of work; he and his force taking over and selling entire planets, and was stated to have taken even more planets than Frieza.

As the years go along, it came to Cooler’s attention that his brother had been overpowered and defeated by a Saiyan native to the Planet Earth, Son Goku. Feeling that Frieza dishonoured his family by losing, Cooler decided to get his revenge on Goku and bring honour back. With this, he and the Armoured Squadron travelled to Earth.

While on Earth, Cooler and the Armoured Squadron raised as much havoc as they could to draw Goku out, including defeating people such as Piccolo, Krillin, and Goku’s own son, Gohan. As a response, Goku appeared and knocked out the Armoured Squadron, before facing Cooler himself.

Cooler put up a good fight, although he was pushed to unveiling his hidden Fifth Form. Unfortunately for Cooler, though, Goku’s Super Saiyan form was more than match for him, and he was seemingly incinerated in the sun. Unbeknownst to Goku, however, pieces of Cooler’s body and mind survived.

A floating computer chip in space had been absorbing all matter and energy around it, until it formed into a giant bio-mechanical spacecraft known as the Big Gete Star. The Big Geta Star came in contact with Cooler’s remains, absorbing them and fully reforming his consciousness from them. Cooler’s consciousness eventually overpowered the Big Gete Star and took control of it.

Now fully in control, Cooler began reforming a body for himself out of biological and mechanical parts, which he named the Meta-Cooler Core, while at the same time creating clones of himself called the Meta-Coolers, which would carry out his demands. Eventually, Cooler sent the Big Geta Star towards the New Planet Namek, where it would land and wrap itself around.

The Big Gete Star would act as a large parasite that sucked energy from the planet, while Meta-Cooler’s creations rounded up the Namekian people to use as slaves. Son Goku and his team, feeling the distress from the Namekians, travel to the planet to stop the problem.

After Goku and Vegeta are taken out by the Meta-Cooler army, they are brought to the Meta-Cooler Core so that he may sap their energy for himself. However, Meta-Cooler Core’s circuits are suddenly overloaded with energy, and he is forced to attack them in his incomplete body.

The Meta-Cooler Core is defeated by Goku and Vegeta, getting a huge ki blast shot into his stomach with the entire Big Gete Star crumbling too. Vegeta then crushes the Big Gete Star’s original microchip, preventing both it and Cooler from ever being able to return again.

Powers and Techniques

• Chi Manipulation & Ki Manipulation (All beings in Dragon Ball have ki, the very life force energy of all characters, ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard, higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them)
• Aura
  • Projection: A users ki aura can exert itself as a weapon to attack.
  • Explosive: Ki users through powering up can form an entire aura around themself, radiating their immense power, where depending on their immense strength, can cause them to explode their aura outwards to remove excess ki from themself.
  • Mood Reflection: Goku and Piccolo Jr. with their auras and their stern concentration on each other reflected in their electric auras, even shooting electricity at each other.
• Emotional Empowerment (It's noted that ki users can receive energy through one cheering them on. Ki users can be greatly increased by their emotions and beliefs, Son Goku explains that Son Gohan needs to remember the time he fought Cell and bring out all of the power he has, this way he can lose to no one where it's shown during the Cell beam clash that he was holding back greatly out of fear of destroying the earth but from being cheered on and using all of his power within him, he was able to overpower Cell)
• Attack Reflection (All Ki users are able to reflect attacks just by being stronger than their opponent. Examples include, Nappa deflecting a masenko from Son Gohan, Son Gohan being able to bounce back the spirit bomb, Son Goku deflecting a crusher ball from Jeice, Frieza deflecting a Final Burst Cannon from Vegeta, Son Goku reflecting multiple death beams back to back from Frieza, and Future Trunks being able to completely repel an energy blast with his hand from a Frieza Soldier just by being much stronger than them)
• Homing Attack (Ki users can create attacks that will home in and chase a target forever)

• Power Nullification (Ki Energy Based; Through having greater ki, one can nullify the powers done through ki attacks, such as Frieza being able to nullify a hakai ball, which fully destroys a target, though he is unable to resist a hakai ball from Toppo due to him being stronger, this ability however only works on ki, attacks unrelated, characters cannot resist through being stronger, such as how Vegeta, Krillin, & Son Gohan are unable to resist Guldo's psychic powers, along with even the likes of Son Goku)
• Forcefield Creation (Ki users such as Cell can generate forcefields around themselves. These forcefields can be expanded, and used to protect others and defend against attacks far higher then the user)
• Super Armor (Through releasing one's ki, they enter a state known as "Hyper Mode", in this state they do not flinch from weak melee attacks)
• Self-Destruction (Ki users in Dragon Ball are able to release all of the energy within them to cause a massive self-destruction of energy that normally kills the user and turns them into dust though one can control it to surviving but having no stamina or energy left)
• Binding (Energy Binding; Ki Users can use their ki to bind targets to objects, making them unable to escape even if they're of equal power, however, those stronger than the ki user can easily break out of it)

• Link Manipulation & Mind Manipulation (Characters can link their ki together and train within each other’s mind enacting in image training)
• Vibration Manipulation (Seismic Vibration Manipulation; Ki users can transfer their ki into an object and cause it to vibrate and shake greatly. Powerful ki users can cause the very ground itself to shake when they power up)
• Electricity Manipulation (Unknown Voltage; Powerful Ki users can generate electricity around their aura that can outright electrocute their opponents, Goku and Piccolo Jr. showcased being able to utilize their aura as pure electricity during their clash)
• Weather Manipulation (Powerful Ki users can generate entire storms through merely powering up alone, Nappa used this in order to conjure the electricity from the storm. Goku showcases this when he first turns super saiyan, causing a massive lightning storm in the background)

Other

Standard Tactics: Cooler will employ hand to hand combat along with ki blast. | Will send army of Meta-Coolers to overwhelm the opponent.

Weaknesses

• Standard Ki Weaknesses: Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, using a large amount of ki overtime can greatly weaken them to the point that characters far lower then them can actually harm them with attacks. Taking large amounts of damage can greatly deplete a ki users attacks, making it where attacks that would otherwise kill massively weakened characters, only pushes them back. Ki users that are able to ki sense cannot do it when their guard is dropped, such as when Vegeta was able to sneak attack Son Goku during the end of their fight in the Buu Saga. Despite some ki users being able to reach blasts that can destroy planets through charged attacks or techniques, they have not shown to be able to tank such blasts themself, with attacks that have destroyed several planets in the series always killing the character. Even characters such as Majin Buu's body cannot withstand the energy of a planet exploding.
• Unique Weaknesses: Much like his little brother, Cooler is extremely arrogant and overconfident in himself, believing that it was Frieza’s lack of power that had him lose to a Saiyan; not even considering that the Saiyan could have been powerful. This attitude is what leads to his supposed death. Even when assimilated into the Big Gete Star, Cooler remains this same weakness, along with him now having circuits that are susceptible to energy overload.
