Cell Bio-Engineering Project

Doctor Gero's ultimate creation, built from the cells of the series' strongest fighters.

Cell is an evil artificial life form created by Doctor Gero, a main member of the Red Ribbon Army, using the DNA and cells from several significant strong characters in the series. He is Doctor Gero's ultimate creation, made to get revenge on Goku.

Lore & Background

Cell was genetically created from the DNA of several of the Z-Fighters, specifically Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo, as well as the villain Frieza and his father King Cold, spliced together, and has the abilities of all of them. He needs Androids 17 and 18 to evolve; when he discovers that they are already dead in his timeline, he kills the Trunks of his timeline and uses his time machine, regressing into an egg, to travel back four years to before the Androids appeared.
