## Biography

### What-If 6

Shortly after the end of Future Trunks Saga, Cell manages to escape Hell with the intention of taking his revenge on Gohan. The Bio-Android manages to find and battle his killer, quickly defeating him, unsatisfied by the lack of challenge. As he prepares to kill Gohan, Goku comes to his son's rescue. Cell explains how him being sent in Hell was actually the best thing that could happen to him, from there he could gather information of the whereabouts of the Dragon Team along with unlocking the same Golden Form Frieza had, along with mastering it, unlike what the tyrant did.
At that very moment, Vegeta rushes to battle having sensed Cell's Ki.

Cell challenges the two Saiyans to battle him together, with him easily overpowering both. Now beaten out of the Super Saiyan Blue form, they attempt to fuse into Vegito, but before their bodies could merge, Cell interrupts the fusion and destroys Goku's earring. The two Saiyans once again attack Cell, and while Vegeta distracts Cell, Goku prepares a Kamehameha, striking Cell, leaving him severely injured.
Finally, the two warriors strike the Bio-Android with a God Kamehameha and God Final Flash, destroying the majority of Cell's body. As Goku tries to sense him, Cell stops his regeneration in order to trick him to believe he's dead, with him quickly proceeding to fully regenerate. From this near-death experience, thanks to his Saiyan's cells, Cell gains an enormous Zenkai Boost and has absorbed Godly Ki from the combined attack that almost killed him.

Cell immediately attacks Vegeta with a Special Beam Cannon and as Goku rushes towards him, Vegeta realizes the attack was infused with Godly Ki, with Goku soon understanding that as well. Cell appears above Goku, striking him with an Energy Blade, resembling Goku Black's, and sends him crashing down.
Cell then explains how he managed to gain Godly Ki, along with how he amalgamated Frieza's Golden Form along with Super Saiyan Blue and Super Saiyan Rosé, using all three of them at once.

Goku, realizing the enormous threat Cell has become, desperately asks Vegeta to fuse. After blinding him with a Solar Flare, the two Saiyans merge into Gogeta, who with a Big Bang Kamehameha completely destroys Cell.

## Cameo

* Cell appears in What-If 12 in his Godly Ki-absorbed Form, during the "Boss selection screen" section.

## Abilities

* Power Scaling
* Transformations

This incarnation of Cell appears in the Power Scaling video, and is ranked as such:

### Super Perfect Form

Ever since his death, Cell is in this state. He gained this form after his failed suicide during the Cell Games, gaining a Zenkai after the majority of his body blew up. It's his equivalent of Super Saiyan 2.

### Golden Form

Cell achieved this form during his training in Hell and mastered it, unlike Frieza. With this form, he completely outclasses both Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue form.
His overall looks remains identical to his Super Perfect Form, with the green parts of his body being coloured of yellow.

### Golden Form (Godly Ki absorbed)

After regenerating from the combined attack of Goku and Vegeta, Cell absorbed the Godly Ki that was generated, along with gaining a large Zenkai Boost due to the majority of his body being destroyed. With this form, Goku and Vegeta are no match for the Bio-Android, and had to fuse into Gogeta in order to finish him.
He appears identical to his Golden Form, only gaining a blue aura.

This Form is the resulting combination of the Golden Form and the Super Saiyan Blue transformation.
