Cell
“An android engineered for perfection — built from the cells of every great warrior to prove he is the ultimate.”
Absorbs others through his tail to gain their energy and power. Absorbing 17 and 18 completes his Perfect Form.
Inherited from Goku's cells. His Kamehameha clash with Gohan is one of the series' greatest moments.
Regenerates from Piccolo's cells — survives even a nuclear blast and returns stronger.
Miniature clones he spawns from himself. Used to torment the Z-Fighters and trigger Gohan's rage.
He operates entirely on the certainty that he is perfect. His desire to fight the strongest means he stages the Cell Games before simply destroying the Earth. He's a cold analyst, but pride breaks his control when he's threatened. The irony is that being engineered for perfection made him an obsessive, insecure creature who needs to prove it endlessly.
