Gamma 1

is a Red Ribbon Army Android created by Dr. Hedo and one of the misguided antagonists in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
==Appearance==
Gamma 1 resembles his fellow Android Gamma 2 and wears a similar costume, though befitting his number designation Gamma 1 has a single fin upon his head. Hedo's design for Gamma 1 was inspired by one of the many superheroes he idolized in his childhood. He also wears a red cape, carries a red Ray Gun, and the number one on his chest is colored red as well. Like Gamma 2, his belt buckle features Greek letter . He has a Red Ribbon Army logo on the left sleeve of his uniform.
==Personality==
In contrast to his younger twin, Gamma 1 possesses a loyal and calm personality. However, like his twin, he was a firm believer in justice and good, to such an extent that after witnessing Carmine try to shoot a then-toddler Pan, he immediately defected alongside his twin to the Dragon Team out of disgust.
==Biography==
===Background===
thumb|left|The character Gamma 1 was based off alongside other heroes
Gamma 1 was created by the genius scientist Dr. Hedo for Magenta the president of the Red Ribbon Army front company, Red Pharmaceuticals. In the film he was directly based off a superhero character who Hedo was a fan of, while in the manga he was based off Saiyaman X-2, with Hedo beginning development on him following the defeat of Beta 1 and 2.
===Dragon Ball Super===
====Super Hero Saga====
Gamma 1 makes his first appearance after Gamma 2 returns to the Red Pharmaceuticals base following his apparent victory over Piccolo. Gamma 1 chastises Gamma 2 for not confirming Piccolo's death and reveals via camera footage that he got away.
When Gohan arrives to save his daughter from the Red Ribbon, Gamma 1 is the one to face him. Gamma 1 soon takes the upper hand as he strikes the Saiyan into an underground cavern. Gohan is able to surmise that his opponent is an android and asks why he would resort to kidnapping a child. Gamma 1 tells him that it was not his idea and that he is merely carrying out orders for the sake of justice in order to eliminate Gohan and his evil organization. Even after Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan, he is shown to be no match for the android who says that he has no chance of winning. 
After Gohan re-awakens his true power, Gohan begins to have the clear edge in battle. As they battle, Gohan asks the android what he was referring to earlier when he mentioned a 'wicked cabal' with Gamma 1 saying that he was referring to Gohan and his allies. Annoyed, Gohan reminds Gamma 1 that it was his team that kidnapped a child causing Gamma 1 to start having self doubts. After Gamma 2 joins Gamma 1's side, he suggests that they take down one enemy at a time. A hesitant Gamma 1 asks if their enemy really are part of the 'wicked cabal' as they had been told. Gamma 2 tells him that they are as Dr. Hedo had told them as such and the two quickly attack Piccolo in unison. Gohan is able to grab hold of Gamma 1 and continues to battle him alone.
However the fight is stopped shortly afterwards after Gamma 2 witnesses Carmine shooting at Pan and realising who the real bad guys are. Not long afterwards, Magenta releases Cell Max and he takes down Hedo as he tries to flee in an aircraft. With concern for their creator the Gammas rush in to aid him only for them to be attacked by the giant monster. They attempt to fight back but unfortunately the two find themselves heavily outmatched by Cell Max's immense strength.
The Gammas are soon joined by the Dragon Team but continue to have little success. Gamma 1 points out that Cell Max has a weakness in his forehead which if penetrated will cause a massive explosion that will destroy all of its cells. However even after Piccolo lands a powerful attack at point blank range, it proves to not be enough. After Gamma 2 suggests one final option that may work, Gamma 1 understands what he is referring to and offers to join him but Gamma 2 turns him down, telling him that his job is to save Dr. Hedo who is in fact still alive having survived the crash landing.
Gamma 2 ultimately sacrifices his life in a grand final attack though only manages to take Cell Max's arm rather than his life. Gamma 1 continues to fight alongside the others, eventually saving Piccolo from being killed by using a barrier to shield most of the impact of Cell Max's deadly attack. During the final moments of the battle as Cell Max attempts to take off by flight to avoid Gohan's Special Beam Cannon, Gamma 1 uses his Ray Gun to blast off one of his wings.
In the end, Gohan defeats Cell Max after awakening a new level of power. Gamma 1 having saved Hedo from the resulting explosion, both watch as Gamma 2 fades away following his sacrificial attack. A remorseful Hedo offers for himself and Gamma 1 to be taken into custody but the others agree to overlook the doctors actions as the two are not evil beings. Hedo asks Bulma if the two can be hired to work at Capsule Corporation to which she agrees, citing that Gamma 1 would make for a good bodyguard for her company.

===Super Hero===
When Gamma 2 arrives back from his mission to gain intel on Piccolo, he informs the leading Red Ribbon members that he has killed the Namekian. However, Gamma 1 tells him that he is mistaken, and that Piccolo actually got away under a cloak of dust.
After Gohan arrives to rescue the "kidnapped" Pan from the Red Ribbon Army base, he makes a quick beeline for his daughter only to be confronted by Gamma 1 who scolds his involvement with the so-called evil Capsule Corporation. The two battle and Gohan resorts to using the Super Saiyan state but struggles against the mighty android until he sees his daughter in apparent distress. The anger causes Gohan to transform into his Ultimate state and the two continue a much more evenly matched battle until Gamma 1 as well as his twin Gamma 2 witness Carmine nearly gun down Pan, causing them to realize their true enemy and defect to the Dragon Team's side. Unfortunately, shortly afterward, despite Dr. Hedo's protestations against it, Magenta releases the incomplete Cell Max at the cost of his life.
Gammas 1 and 2 engage in battle with the monster in order to save their creator Dr. Hedo and with a final sacrificial act from Gamma 2 and help from the Dragon Team, Cell Max is defeated. Following this, Bulma (having offered Dr. Hedo a job at Capsule Corporation after learning of his skin serum) also offers Gamma 1 a job at Capsule Corporation as a security officer.
==Power==
;Manga
Gamma 1 is thought by Piccolo to have power on par with Goku and Vegeta.
;Films
In Super Hero, Gamma 1 is thought by Piccolo to have power on par with Goku and Vegeta. He is able to overwhelm base Gohan without using his full power. Against Super Saiyan Gohan he initially appears to be overwhelmed but was able to easily outmatch Gohan upon fighting seriously. Once faced with Ultimate Gohan, he is able to hold his own against the hybrid Saiyan but proved to be at a disadvantage. He alongside Gamma 2, Gotenks, Ultimate Gohan and Krillin are no match for Cell Max, with Gamma 1 eventually being knocked out by one heavy blow from the Bio-Android's tail.
