King Cold

King Cold is the king and emperor of Universe 7 before his retirement. He is the father of Cooler and Frieza and has a lot of soldiers on his side in the galaxy known as the Cold Force. King Cold is one of the most powerful members of Universal Villains.

## Powers and Abilities

Prior to Cold's debut in both the manga and anime, during his fight with Goku, Frieza mentions that, besides Goku, only his father (and mother in the dub) has ever forced him to dust himself off after a fight/harm him in his final form.

Cold's power is not mentioned in the manga but has been mentioned in the anime; when many of the Z Fighters were sensing Frieza's power level, they all remarked that King Cold's power level was even higher than Frieza's. It is, however, worth noting that Mecha Frieza was suppressed at the time, as Gohan pointed out later to Yamcha that his power can grow much larger than what they are currently sensing. This interpretation is supported by the fact that King Cold voluntarily relinquished his leadership role on the grounds that his son was stronger.

When King Cold fights Super Saiyan Future Trunks he is shown to be completely outmatched even when using Trunks' sword, he cannot overpower his opponent, who simply catches the blade in his hand. He is then easily defeated when Future Trunks blastsa hole through him. In the anime he survives this initial shot, but is killed for good by a second one. It is unclear whether King Cold has Frieza's ability to survive mortal wounds in the manga, due to his falling limp after Future Trunks' attack, although Future Trunks charging a second blast even in the manga implied that it was a likely enough possibility that he immediately opted to destroy the body in order to ensure he was dead.

In the anime, Pikkon managed to defeat King Cold easily, although he managed to take few steps forward right before he fell unconscious.

* **Flight** – The ability to fly through the use of *ki*.
* ***Ki* Blast** – The most basic form of energy wave.
* **Telekinesis** – A technique that allows the user to manipulate objects and other people with the power of one's mind. He at one point uses it to break a cockpit window to his ship immediately before his men managed to locate Frieza, in what was implied to be out of rage at the possibility of Frieza being killed.

* **Dirty Slash** – A sword slash technique.
* **Survival** – King Cold can survive in a vacuum, enabling him to survive in space. In the anime, Cold has the ability to survive even the most horrifying injuries, as he is still conscious and capable of smooth speech despite having a hole in his chest; he is not explicitly shown to possess this trait in the manga, although Trunks opting to charge up a second God Breaker to obliterate his body even in the manga implies that his possessing the ability was likely.
