Background

Cell is a Bio-Android created by the conniving Red Ribbon Scientist, Doctor Gero. Following the destruction of Red Ribbon at the hands of the young Son Goku (and the death of Gero’s son,) the maniacal doctor conceived a master plan to get his revenge.

Through this, Dr. Gero began the experimentation of a line of biological androids, or cyborgs, which involved not only Cell, but also Androids #17 and #18. Cell, however, was Dr. Gero’s most ambitious and dangerous project.

To create him, Dr. Gero gathered the DNA of several warriors, including: Son Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, and King Cold. Fusing them together, a horrible bug-like abomination known as Imperfect Cell was created. Cell grew in secret within Dr. Gero’s lab, before finally coming out of hiding and stealing a time machine from Bulma.

Cell then took the time machine and travelled back to the main timeline, where he would have free access to countless humans to feast on. Although his presence was made known to the heroes of Earth, they were unable to defeat him before he absorbed Androids #17 & #18, transforming into Perfect Cell.

Finally reaching his complete, perfect form, Cell set up a tournament of his own called the Cell Games, where fighters all around the world were challenged to take him on. Cell fought both Son Goku and then Son Gohan, but was not satisfied enough by the fights. Because of this, Cell goaded Gohan to draw out his true anger.

After a long scuffle, Gohan in his new Super Saiyan 2 transformation easily overpowered Cell, and sent him to desperate measures. Cell was going to self-detonate, but was carried off-planet by Son Goku, who was killed in the explosion.

However, Cell returned more powerful than ever, and faced against Son Gohan one final time. After a climactic beam struggle between Cell’s Solar Kamehameha, and Son Gohan’s Kamehameha, Son Goku returned to help his son, and the two overpowered Cell. Consumed by the Father-Son Kamehameha, the Bio-Android was wiped from the planet, finally defeated.

Statistics

Key: Imperfect Cell (Pre-Human Absorption) | Imperfect Cell (Post-Human Absorption) | Semi-Perfect Cell | Perfect Cell | Super Perfect Cell

Tier: 5-C | At least High 5-B | At least High 5-B, likely far higher | 4-B | 4-B

Name: Cell

Origin: Dragon Ball

Sex: Male

Age: At least 25 years old

Classification: Bio-Android, Perfect Warrior

Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Cell is the perfect mix between the intense cruelty of Frieza, and the fight-loving demeanor of the Saiyans. He takes intense amounts of pride in needless destruction, wiping out entire islands for the sake of it as well as wreaking havoc across the land in search for a place to run the Cell Games. However, the Cell Games themselves are a testament to Cell's love of combat, as he set them up specifically to draw entertainment out of battle instead of simply ending the conflict immediately)

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Moon level+ (Is directly compared to Saiyan Saga Goku's level of power; Saiyan Saga Goku easily stopped Nappa's attacks, who is 9.8x stronger than the Piccolo that destroyed the moon) | At least Large Planet level (Grew far more powerful after absorbing tens of thousands of humans, becoming more powerful than Android 17, who himself is much more powerful than First Form Frieza through being above Super Saiyans; First Form Frieza can casually destroy Planet Vegeta) | At least Large Planet level, likely far higher (After absorbing Android 17, he is far more powerful than before) | Solar System level (Is far stronger than before, to the point where he can match Full Power Super Saiyan Goku. Shouldn’t be much weaker than his Super Perfect self, whose Kamehameha was going to destroy the solar system) | Solar System level (Should be a small bit more powerful than before, as he only matches Super Saiyan 2 Gohan due to Gohan’s pre-existing injuries. His Kamehameha was going to destroy the solar system)

Durability: Moon level+ | At least Large Planet level | At least Large Planet level, likely far higher | At least Large Planet level, likely far higher | Solar System level | Solar System level

Striking Strength: Moon Class+ | At least Large Planet Class | At least Large Planet Class, likely far higher | Solar System Class | Solar System Class

Lifting Strength: Unknown

Travel Speed: At least High Hypersonic (Directly compared to Saiyan Saga Goku, who traveled over a million kilometers in 2 days, meaning he can move at 5787 m/s) | At least FTL (Should be superior to Goku on Namek, who went so fast that he escaped from King Kai’s view, despite King Kai being able to track his spaceship without problem) | At least FTL, likely far higher (Should be far faster than before) | FTL (Is faster than base form Cell Saga Goku, was able to travel from Grand Kai’s planet to Hell in at most 10 minutes time) | At least FTL (Should be somewhat faster than before)

Combat Speed: FTL (Directly compared to Son Goku, who could avoid a point blank laser beam, could avoid the Kamehameha which could reach the moon in a very shot timeframe, along with tagging someone who could react to a Kamehameha) | FTL (Can react to foes faster than Goku on Namek, who fought so fast that King Kai could not keep up with him, despite King Kai being able to track his spaceship without problem) | At least FTL (Should be far faster than before) | At least FTL | At least FTL

Reaction Speed: FTL | FTL | At least FTL (Should be far faster than before) | At least FTL | At least FTL

Stamina: Limitless (Cell has stamina that seemingly never runs out; a trait shown in other Bio-Androids, Androids #17 and #18. He was able to wait several days straight for the Cell Games, and still fight at peak conditions. His Saiyan mixed with Namekian physiology allows for him to both heal, and grow, from fatigue)

Range: Standard Melee, Interstellar with Ki attacks and Instant Transmission (Allows for Cell to teleport virtually anywhere so long as he can lock onto someone’s ki in that location)

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Is comparable in battle smarts to the likes of Son Goku, who has been fighting for decades. Cell himself was not only created by an extraordinary scientist, but was able to outsmart Trunks during their battle. Cell can learn and use techniques simply upon viewing them once)

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts (Cell has trained for several days, can toe-to-toe with martial artists like Son Goku and Gohan), Genius Intelligence, Acrobatics, Flight, Afterimage Creation (Cell can use afterimages), Ki Manipulation (Cell can generate Ki for attacks. 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), Mind Manipulation (Characters can link their ki together and train within each other’s mind enacting in image training), Power Absorption & Transferal (Ki users can transfer their ki to others and absorb the ki given to them from others), Forcefield Creation (Capable of creating energy barriers), Enhanced Senses, Aura (He can surround himself in an aura of Ki), Psuedo-Fear Manipulation, Limited Soul Manipulation & Pain Manipulation (Powerful ki users can exert their ki onto a user greatly harming them, ki is the manifestation of one’s lifeforce, along with the aura giving one the feeling of being crushed, exerting fear into the target, sometimes making them incapable of moving as their body is instinctively stuck due to the sheer difference in power), Reactive Power Level (Due to his Saiyan DNA, his power level will increase after a tough battle. A saiyan’s power increases if they survive from injuries in battle, with their powers allowing them to greatly exceed their previous levels beforehand), Rage Power (Mere rage can amplify a saiyan to a level that's believed to be a myth even by the highest levels of saiyans in the verse), Damage Boost (Saiyans attack power rises when health is low), Immortality Negation (Type 7; Gotenks can destroy the Dictator’s undead army with their Ki; others with Ki should thus be able to do the same), Light Manipulation (Cell can generate Ki, which gives off light. Can use Solar Flare which gives off a flash of light), Absorption & Life Manipulation (Cell can absorb the life of his victims), Transformation (Cell can transform through Androids #17 and #18), Non-Physical Interaction (Those with Ki were able to harm the Ghost Warriors), Healing (Ki is shown to have healing properties), Body Control (Namekian DNA allows for him to stretch his body), Power Mimicry (Cell could mimic techniques upon seeing them once, such as the Instant Transmission), Telekinesis (Cell can telekinetically move objects), Biological Manipulation (Cell can biologically reproduce to create Cell Jr.), Voice Manipulation (Cell can mimic Android #17's voice, and also amplify his own voice), Regeneration (Mid-High; Cell can fully regenerate to his full power as long as one living cell remains), Teleportation & Dimensional BFR (Type 1; Cell can use Instant Transmission, which is able to forcibly send opponents to places like Other World), Fusionism (Cell can perform the Fusion Dance)

Resistance to: Heats (Contains Goku's DNA, who was unaffected by the heat of the desert), Extreme Heats, Extreme Colds, & Air Manipulation (Contains DNA from Goku and Vegeta, who can survive in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for an entire year, which contains sub-zero temperatures to over one hundred degrees temperatures, along with the chamber having 1/4th the air of the regular world and ten times gravity)

Notable Techniques

• Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Cell is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.
• Ki Blast: Using Ki, Cell can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
• Kamehameha: The iconic move coined by Master Roshi, which Yamcha has adopted for himself. This starts as a blue Ki ball, which is charged in Yamcha’s hands before releasing as an incredibly powerful beam.
  • Solar Kamehameha: Cell’s most powerful Kamehameha variant, which he claimed had the power to wipe out the Solar System.
• Instant Transmission: This technique allows Cell to instantly travel virtually anywhere, so long as he can lock onto someone’s ki.
• Spirit Bomb: A technique that Cell claimed he could perform, which has him draw in the energy of all of the life around him into one gigantic ball of ki, that can eradicate evil in a massive explosion. Cell’s variant of this move has been shown to have a more green hue.
• Special Beam Cannon: A move that Cell adopted from Piccolo, which takes a great deal of time to build up. It’s an extremely condolences and thin beam of energy, shown to puncture nearly anything in its path.
• Solar Flare: Another adopted technique, Cell places his hands on his forehead and unleashes a blinding light, which is specifically used to blind his foes.
• Big Bang Crash: Cell’s variant of Vegeta’s Big Bang Attack, which comes in a red color opposed to blue. This is a simple ball of energy that is formed through an outstretched arm.
• Death Beam: An attack adopted from Frieza’s DNA, which is a simple purple beam shot out of his fingertips.
• Telekinesis: Cell can use telekinetic abilities to lift, cut, and shape objects, which he notably used to create his Cell Game’s arena.
• Absorption: Using his tail, Cell can absorb other creatures. He can do this either through puncturing his victim and sucking out their life energy, or through actually sucking the victim through his tail whole. Absorbing Androids #17 and #18 grant him new forms.
• Android Barrier: Cell surrounds himself with a large green bubble of ki, that protects him from most attacks.

Other

Standard Tactics: Cell will employ hand to hand combat along with ki attacks. He will also try to drain energy from his opponents. If the opponent seems to be too strong he will either self-destruct or use his solar kamehameha to destroy the solar system.

Weaknesses: If Perfect Cell accumulates enough damage, he is susceptible to throwing up either Android #17 or #18, which will revert him back to his previous forms. He is incredibly arrogant, which led to him angering Gohan and transforming into a Super Saiyan 2, leading to Cell’s death.
