Weaknesses: Can be somewhat cowardly. Can be poor at judging a fighter's true power, as he mistakenly believed that Trunks stood no chance against him without his sword, despite clearly seeing Trunks lift Frieza's Death Ball with one hand.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Ki Blast: The most basic form of energy wave.
*Energy Wave: One of King Cold's attacks.
*Full Power Death Beam: A powered-up version of the Death Beam.
*Super Explosive Wave: He creates a massive explosion with himself as the nexus.
*Telekinesis: Used to shatter the cockpit window of his ship, causing Fisshi, one of his soldiers, to be ejected into space.
Note:
*Even though his son Frieza possesses Type 2 Immortality, King Cold has not displayed this ability and was killed with a blast through his chest in the manga, which would contradict such a claim.
*Also, although their race has been stated to be capable of surviving in the vacuum of space, this does not imply anything about their abilities to survive lethal wounds.
