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.

Varies: Skill with Strongest Charged Blast (Charged Blast have one focus all of their energy into one single point, putting the blasts power far beyond what their peak strength is, allowing them to destroy things they couldn't prior with their regular attacks, this also allows them to use charged attacks that can stop enemies far beyond their level, such as Tien Shinhan pushing back Semi-Perfect Cell with his Neo Ki-Ko-Ho, along with stopping an attack shot from Buu absorbed Gotenks. Strongest charged blast can gather ki to shoot out blast far beyond what the character is normally capable of, with blasts capable of seriously damaging/destroying the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent. Charged Blast also rely heavily on emotional states for example Gohan not believing in himself was having Cell overpower him in a beam clash) | At least Metropolis level (Potency) (Is much stronger than his Fourth Form, though was heavily outclassed by post-three years of training Super Saiyan Goku; Goku was said to have been surpassed by Super Saiyan Vegeta, who himself was weaker than Android 18).

Powers and Techniques

Standard Ki AbilitiesUnique Abilities

• 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.

• 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)

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: Ki users that do not have sufficient training over their emotions put their power within a mental lock, thus affects to their emotions can seriously limit their powers, their emotions can also have them instinctively block using the full power of their attacks out of fear of the destruction along with lack of confidence in themselves. If a Ki user is inflicted with any kind of status, disease, or poison, powering up or transforming will put further strain on the body and can speed up the process of poison. Users of Ki Sensing cannot sense beings that invisible, even if the character is in front of them attacking them, they have a hard time countering them due to being invisible. Users of Ki Sensing also have a harder time sensing the true being using illusions, requiring them to focus in on energy fields to see who is moving and who is casting the illusion. 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 cannot put all of their ki and strength into an attack if parts of their body are broken/injured, they also lose half of their chi if something like one of their arms are badly injured or broken.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 themselves, 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. Using ki volley attacks come with the caveat of their aim being rather poor, making it harder to hit moving targets. If ki users are at all possessed, even by accident, their true self will be sleeping within, with the possessor needing to awaken them. Even if awoken, they are immobilized and unable to move without the possessor giving them the ability to, even with them wanting to wake up, they cannot do it. Specific waves can can suppress a ki users power, and put their consciousness to sleep. If Ki users stamina is broken, they will unable to be able to continue fighting for a short while, this will also cancel out any ki attack they were attempting to use, including ultimate's, this also adds on that ki users guards are down while charging ultimate attacks. Their stamina can also be broken if a character moves far too fast and surprise attacks them while they're charging their ki. Ki Users can also be grabbed out of charging their attacks. When ki users radiate their Ki at its highest, their body is also freed the most, making them open to attacks and making them easy to possess.
• 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.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: What about the planetary feats in Dragon Ball?

A: Planetary feats are normally done through their strongest charged blast, where they can gather ki to shoot out blast far beyond what the character is normally capable of, with blasts capable of seriously damaging/destroying the Earth along with completely obliterating the opponent, though they themselves are never capable of leaving this unscathed.

ExamplesNon-Planetary Showings

Frieza throws a destroy the planet death ball attack but it doesn't destroy the planet. Goku then interestingly notes the reason the planet didn't blow up is because Frieza was too scared of getting caught in the blast . Vegeta's final flash is noted it's going to destroy the planet and Perfect Cell, who is beyond Vegeta, couldn't tank the blast and had to dodge it last second or it would've killed him. Goku's kamehameha was going to destroy the earth and Cell cannot tank this blast, needing to regenerate. Semi-Perfect Cell explosion was consistently noted it was going to destroy the planet and Gohan and it killed Goku. Ultimate Gohan dies to an attack that destroys the earth, his guard was up too since this was when he was fighting Super Buu. Kid Buu shoots a blast trying to destroy the planet, with Vegeta noting he's going to take himself out with it if he lets it off. In Dragon Ball GT, Great Ape Baby Vegeta shoots a super galick gun that he claims will destroy Earth, when Goku is hit by it, he is knocked out to the point that he can't move for a good while, Elder Kai and Shin later state that Baby is going to shoot another blast that will destroy the planet on, greatly injuring Baby if he's caught in the Blast and will kill everyone on the planet if done. Frieza destroyed the entire earth, killing Vegeta in the process. In the Dragon Ball Super Manga, Gohan tells Goku that he doesn't need to hold anything back and can go all out because anything that happens to the Earth can be restored with Dende and the Dragon Balls. Yet, none of Goku's all out attacks destroy the planet but just heavily causes shockwaves around it. Semi-Perfect Cell unleashes a several blast that destroys several islands Android 16 notes that the attacks are just strong enough to not kill Android 18.

In the fight of Trunks vs. Mecha Frieza, who is far stronger than his final form, Mecha Frieza immediately goes for his strongest attack, the Supernova. In the original Z anime King Kai even states this is ten times stronger than the power he used on Namek:

• DBZ Kai Version.
• Original DBZ Anime Version. The attack is directly noted that it could destroy the planet, but doesn't because Trunks catches it, when Mecha Frieza proceeds to detonate it, the explosion is massive but the planet is still intact, implying Frieza must target the core in order to destroy the planet.
