**Cell** is the main antagonist of the Androids Saga in Dragon Ball Z. A bio-android created by Dr. Gero to kill Son Goku, he time traveled from an alternate timeline where he kills Trunks and uses his time machine to get to the past so that he can absorb Androids 17 and 18 to achieve his perfect form.

## Background

Long ago, the Red Ribbon Army was the most powerful military force on Earth so much so that not even Earth's own personal military defense force stood a chance against it. However one day when the young Son Goku fought against the army's oppression and utterly crushed it. However a single man was left with an ambition, Gero the chief scientist of the Red Ribbon Army. With his life's work shattered at the work of a single child ,he fell into a state of madness where he was obsessed with ruling the world, but most of all killing Goku.

From since then he has sent drones studying every single one of Goku's battles, all the way from the fight against King Piccolo, the invasion of the Saiyans, and the arrival of Mecha Frieza and King Cold on Earth. Along the way he created several androids including his deadliest pair so far, Androids 17 and 18. However due to their defiance and unruly nature he shut them down and set up to create the most biological perfect weapon he could. Collecting the DNA from several warriors, them including Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, and King Cold. Along with several techniques the supercomputer that built him implemented into him, however in order to reach his full power he needed to absorb the androids, 17 and 18. The problem was that already in that timeline, Trunks had already defeated the androids meaning he had no access to them once Cell was released. Devising a plan, Cell killed Trunks and used his time machine to travel to an alternate timeline in the past where the main cast resides, deciding to absorb the androids duo from that time and terrorize that timeline's universe when he achieves perfection.
