Background/History: Where to begin? Cell is the second most powerful enemy the Son Goku and company ever had to deal with (Majin Buu is Number 1). He is an artificial humanoid created by Dr. Gero for the sole purpose of destroying Son Goku. Dr. Gero grew Cell by mixing genetic material from a host of other characters, including Piccolo, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Vegita, and Freezer. Thus, due to the wonders of comic book science, Cell has all the powers of these characters!
Cell, like Trunks, is a time traveler. He was sent back in time to destroy Son Goku before Goku would have a chance of stopping Dr. Gero's plans of world domination. As near as I can tell, Cell comes from a future where Trunks died (see Trunks' character sheet for more). The time machine he used was very old when it was discovered in the "standard" Dragon Ball Z time line. and had been sitting out for some time. Actually, it is doubtful Cell used the time machine, since he was inside an egg case at the time (I'm unsure who sent the machine back in time.). Anyway, the egg hatched and the insect-larva form of Cell emerged. Eventually, this form metamorphosed into a humanoid version of Cell, or Cell Stage 1.
Cell Stage 1 then proceeded to go about killing anyone he could find. Cell's purpose was simple, to find Cyborgs Numbers 17 and 18 and absorb them. Doing so would further complete Cell's metamorphosis and allow Cell to become complete or "perfect."
Cell Stage 1 first fought Piccolo, but quickly realized he was outclassed. Escaping, he eventually found Number 17 fighting with Piccolo. His attempt to absorb 17 was cut short by the intervention of Android Number 16, who smashed Cell around before blasting Cell into the ground. Cell managed to burrow his way up behind Number 17 and absorb him, thus transforming himself into Cell Stage 2. This new form was much more human-looking, and tough enough to virtually ignore Number 16 in a fight. Cell Stage 2 then shattered part of 16's skull, leaving him virtually helpless.
Cell then tried to absorb Number 18, only to encounter Vegita, who had recently increased his power thanks to the Room of Spirit and Time. Cell Stage 2 was no match for Vegita and was almost defeated, except... Playing to Vegita's arrogance, Cell informed him he would be a more worthy opponent if allowed to absorb Cyborg Number 18. Vegita, confident that he would still win regardless of Cell's power level, stepped aside.
Cell then absorbed Number 18, despite Trunks' attempt to stop him (Vegita blasted Trunks away.). Cell then transformed into Perfect Cell. Perfect Cell was tough enough to not even notice Kulilin's blows, and powerful enough to totally trash Vegita in the following fight. Trunks attempted to stop him as well, but failed. Trunks, exhausted, told Cell he would stop him, if allowed to properly prepare. Cell then allowed him to leave, and gather who ever he wanted for the Cell Game. The prize? The Earth.
Son Goku started off the Cell Game, but surrendered in favor of his son, Son Gohan. Gohan fought Cell for some time, but was unable to muster sufficient anger to destroy him. Cell then created his Mini-Cells to trash the Z-fighters and also destroyed the rebuilt Number 16. These events were sufficient to make Gohan angry, at which point he annihilated the 7 Mini-Cells. Gohan also managed to injure Cell, causing him to spit up Number 18. This forced Cell to power down one level, to Stage 2. Realizing he was doomed, Cell decided to annihilate the world by self-destructing. Goku then teleported Cell away, to the planet of Kariou-sama. The resulting explosion killed Goku, Kariou-sama, and Bubbles, Kariou-sama's pet monkey. Cell, for some reason, survived and regenerated back to his "Perfect" form. Cell then killed Trunks, at which point Son Gohan and Vegita vaporized him. (Yes, I condensed the action quite a bit.)
Personality/Motivation: Cell is massively overconfident in his fighting skills. He is the most powerful thing around and knows it. As such, he prefers to settle matters hand-to-hand and may not make the most tactical of decisions in a fight. For example, several times he has simply stood in place and allowed incoming energy attacks to hit him just to prove how tough he is (Of course, a few times these blasts nearly blew him in half...). Cell also doesn't bother creating any Mini-Cells until he really needs to anger Gohan (His ego is such that he probably would almost never use this power, meaning he's spent 266 points on a power you'll never see...). Cell revels in destruction. He kills several thousand people in he process of becoming Perfect and blows up a few islands just to lure Cyborgs Number 17 and Number 18 out into the open. Cell also tries to destroy the whole planet, especially when he is certain he's lost and wants to take everyone with him. All in all, Cell has to be the nastiest villain Son Goku and the rest ever face.
Powers/Tactics: As stated, Cell has all the powers of all the people used to create him. He also has a virtually invulnerable artificial body. Among the powers given to him by his artificial body are: virtual immunity to guns and other weapons (Damage Resistance), ability to survive having large portions of his body destroyed and not suffer great looses of blood (Does Not Bleed), survive any environment (Full Life Support) and massive regenerative powers. Cell will regenerate damage slowly and can instantly regrow lost body parts and limbs.
Cell's chi powers are immense. He has a whole host of special techniques and powers he can call upon, making him a frightening opponent. His powers are as follows:
- Implanted Super-Saiyajin Powers: Since Cell has genetic material from Vegita and Son Goku, he can achieve the high-energy state known as Super-Saiyajin. He can also reach Level 2 but chooses not to do so because of the affect it has on his agility.
- Chi Barrier: At one point Cell created a sphere of chi energy in order to deflect a barrage of energy blasts. The Force Wall creates a large sphere centered around Cell, protecting him and him only. It would seem that Cell cannot move while the power is active and cannot crate the Force Wall at range.
- Chi Blast: Naturally, Cell can fire off powerful energy blasts. In the manga he wipes out an army and several small islands with these blasts.
- Freezer Beam: This is a narrow beam of energy launched from a finger. It can punch through a target with ease.
- Kamehameha: Cell can use Goku's trademark energy blast.
- Kienzan: Although the manga doesn't show it, Cell can use this technique of Freezer's.
- Makankosappo: As with the Kienzan, this power isn't used in the manga, but Cell should know Piccolo's trademark attack.
- Psychokinesis: Cell is seen lifting a small hill and chopping it into stone blocks to create the arena for the Cell Game. He doesn't use this power in combat, probably because he prefers to attack more directly. Also, his ability to chop up the hill into small blocks could be considered a variant of the Freezer Beam, although this attack was invisible.
- Taiyoken: Cell uses this flash attack several times to good effect.
- Shi Baku: This is Cell's self-destruction technique. It is capable of annihilating a planet if needed. Although Cell survived the use of this power I felt that was a serious case of Plot Contrivance and didn't both to try and make him capable of surviving this one (note: the Side Effect means he doesn't get his defenses against this attack). GMs may want to declare that the attack does a flat 3 BODY per die is it is ever used, thus preventing the possibility of wimping out on the die roll.
- Seru Junia Umi Dashi: This may be Cell's most terrifying power, the ability to instantly produce nasty little versions of himself. See the Mini-Cell character sheet for more information on these.
Cell has the ability to fly, run at great speed, leap great distances, tunnel through the earth and can swim rather well. He also has the combat teleport ability common to the Z-fighters and can teleport vast distances in a manner similar to Son Goku.
Appearance: Perfect Cell stands about 7' tall. He is broad shouldered, narrow-hipped and long legged. His skin, visible on his hands, face, neck and upper shoulders, is white. The rest of his body is covered by thick plates, like an insect's shell. These are green with darker green mottling. Cell's lower legs, shoulders, and upper chest are plated in black.
