Cell
Cell (セル Seru?) is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball series created by Akira Toriyama. Cell is an artificial life form created using cells from several of the main characters in the series. During the course of his appearance, he undergoes several transformations that require him to absorb two other lifeforms, the Androids #17 and #18. His goal is to become the strongest being on Earth, and to do so, he must absorb the two Androids.
After Kazuhiko Torishima, Toriyama's former editor during Dr. Slump and early Dragon Ball, expressed dissatisfaction with first Androids 19 and 20, and later Androids 17 and 18, as villains, Toriyama finally came up with Cell. Toriyama has stated some kind of regret regarding the design of Cell, as it was tedious to draw all the little spots on his body. In addition he did not initially plan for the character to be able to transform, but give him this ability after his then-current editor, Yū Kondō, described Cell as "looking ugly".
Cell originally evolves from a cicada-like form into his Imperfect Cell (不完全体セル Fukanzentai Seru?) form, which is still insect-like in appearance. Both his first form and his second Semi-Perfect Cell (半完全体セル Hankanzentai Seru?) form have a long tail that ends in a stinger-like appendage and allows it to absorb other organisms. The tail recedes under his wings in his final Perfect Cell (完全体セル Kanzentai Seru?) form, although he uses it to spawn Cell Juniors (セルジュニア Seru Junia?), minuscule childlike versions of himself.
Cell is an artificial life form created by Doctor Gero's computer from cells of different warriors, possessing the genetic information of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza and King Cold, in an underground complex below Gero's secret research laboratory. Cell is designed to evolve into the perfect being by absorbing two of Gero's previous creations, Androids #17 and #18. But in the alternate future he is from, the two Androids were deactivated. After he kills the Trunks from his time, Cell regresses into an egg while using Trunks' time machine to travel back four years before the Androids appeared, taking him to the present timeline.
