==Summary==
Cell is the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, created from the DNA of the greatest fighters to ever visit Earth and tasked with the simple goal of killing Son Goku. However, to reach his perfect form and full power, Cell must absorb Gero's other biomechanical creations; the Androids, 17 and 18.
Originally hailing from the future of an alternate Trunks in which he killed the Androids, Cell killed his timeline's Trunks and used his Time Machine to travel to the past to absorb this timeline's Androids so that he can reach perfection and fight and kill as he pleases. He arrives in the main Dragon Ball timeline around four years prior to the emergence of the Androids, and devolves into his larval state to hide underground and await their appearance.

Attack Potency: At least Small Star level (Far stronger than Super Saiyan Vegeta. At least comparable to Future Cell, who surpasses Future Android 17 [who in turn overwhelmed Future Gohan at half power], as he managed to consume the population of Ginger Town. After absorbing hundreds of thousands of humans, he casually overwhelmed Piccolo and Android 17 before matching Android 16) | At least Small Star level+ (Added 17's power to his own. Casually stomped Android 16), at least Star level with Self-Destruction (His Self-Destruction killed SSJ Goku) | Solar System level (At full power, Cell is far stronger than any of the Z-Fighters, including SSJ Goku and SSJ Gohan, and is capable of casually toying with both. He is outclassed only by SSJ2 Gohan. Equal to Dabura who is comparable to SSJ Buu Saga Gohan) | Solar System level (After his Zenkai, he grew in power to reach SSJ2 Gohan's level and broke his arm with a single ki blast. He said that he was going to destroy the solar system from Earth, a statement that has been confirmed by many guidebooks)
Speed: At least Hypersonic+ flight speed (Faster than Krillin who can fly this quickly), Massively FTL+ combat speed (Faster than both Android 17 and Piccolo after absorbing hundreds of humansDragon Ball Chapter 370 (DBZ 176)) | At least Hypersonic+ flight speed, Massively FTL+ combat speed (Much faster than before, overwhelmed Android 16 casuallyDragon Ball Chapter 373 (DBZ 179)) | At least Hypersonic+ flight speed, Massively FTL+ combat speed (Can casually keep up with Goku at his full power) | At least Hypersonic+ flight speed, Massively FTL+ combat speed (Much faster than before)

Durability: At least Small Star level (After absorbing hundreds of thousands of humans, he tanked Piccolo's Light Grenade without any injuries and survived Android 16's most powerful attack) | At least Small Star level+ | Solar System level | Solar System level
Stamina: Superhuman (Cell is an incredibly powerful fighter who can battle against opponents for long periods of time, easily keeping up with Goku throughout their fight and eventually outlasting him. However, though he has absorbed both Androids 17 and 18, he lacks their limitless stamina and can still be worn down over time)
Range: Standard Melee Range; at least Planetary with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range; at least Planetary with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range; Stellar with ki blasts and attacks (Comparable to Vegeta, whose Final Flash can easily ) | Standard Melee Range; Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks (His Kamehameha would've destroyed the entire solar system); Universal with Instant Transmission (Teleported from King Kai's planet in the Otherworld to Earth)
Standard Equipment: None notable
*Can Create/Summon: Cell Jr.'s
Intelligence: Genius (Despite his young age and technical lack of experience, Cell has inherited the knowledge and skill of those he was created from. His combat skill and knowledge of ki allows him to immediately and easily see through the weaknesses of Trunks' new transformation, and in combat, he easily matched Goku. He was able to outmaneuver and escape Piccolo and the other's attempts to hunt him down while constantly feeding on new humans in the process, and due to his knowledge on the techniques and personalities of the Z-Fighters, he is capable of easily manipulating them and playing to their differing desires)
Weaknesses: Cell is extremely overconfident and desires a good fight above all else due to his Saiyan blood, he relishes a good challenge and will avoid fighting at full power and let opponents reach their most powerful states to get one. When outmatched, Cell will begin to panic and fly into a rage, fighting irrationally. He cannot absorb mechanical beings by puncturing them with his tail, and powerful enough strikes to his stomach can cause him to regurgitate whoever he absorbed by engulfing them with his tail, causing him to devolve if he regurgitates one of the androids. He needs to locate a ki signature to teleport using Instant Transmission.
