Nappa is a secondary antagonist featured in the WUC: Saiyan Saga arc. He is Vegeta's partner and second-in-command of the invasion force.

## Appearance

Nappa wears a battle suit with a color scheme of black and gold, his bracers and boots following the same color scheme. He is completely bald, with the only hairs on his head being his moustache. Like the other Saiyan warriors, he has his tail wrapped around his waist like a belt.

## Biography

Before the mysterious destruction of Planet Vegeta Nappa was once a general of the Saiyan military, and an aid to the young Prince Vegeta. As part of the Frieza Force, he, Vegeta, and two other Saiyans named Raditz and Turles, were part of an elite squadron of warriors sent to subjugate planets, such as the planet Arlia which resisted their will and was promptly destroyed.

### WUC: Saiyan Saga

After having received a distress call from Raditz, Vegeta, Nappa, and Turles, were sent to Earth to assist his endeavours. They came across the city of Townsville, encountering the Powerpuff Girls, and in a display of power to hopefully ward them off, Nappa destroyed the city in its entirety using a Volcano Explosion technique. After entering into a short conflict with the Rowdyruff Boys and Danny Phantom, Nappa and the Saiyans escaped, and regrouped on Mount Katadhin in Maine to establish a new plan: find Lex Luthor to discuss terms of surrender.

Out of a simple-minded desire to destroy another city out of glee, Nappa was sent off to the town of Bellwood so he could wipe it off the face of the earth. He was however met with heavy resistance from the likes of heroes such as Ben Tennyson and his cousin Gwen, as well as the androids X-J9 and Robotboy, the cybernetic hero Rex Salazar, and the returning Blossom of the Powerpuff Girls. He was forced to transform into a Great Ape to resist them, but only momentarily as they managed to divine his weakness and forcefully reverted him back to his Saiyan form, where in a final desperation attack he was shot through the chest by Blossom, killing him.

## Abilities

### Energy Balls

One of Nappa's most basic attacks. He is able to generate deadly balls of ki energy from his hands and lobs them at his foes.

### Eye Lasers

Nappa is able to shoot focused lines of energy from his eyes as a more precise method of attack.

### Mouth Blast

Nappa is able to shoot a gigantic blast of energy from his mouth, acting as one of his more deadlier attacks because of the wider range it occupies.

### Volcano Explosion

One of Nappa's signature moves. Activated by raising both his index and middle fingers, Nappa unleashes a mass concentration of energy, atomizing the area around him.

### Great Ape Transformation

A move innate to all Saiyans, they are able to transform into giant apes if they absorb enough Blutz waves, which originally was only exclusive to the ones emitted by their moon until it was discovered that they could generate their own Blutz waves. As a Great Ape, Nappa is overcome by animalistic rage, and as such his attack power is increased tremendously. However as a simple-minded creature his intellect is lowered.

## Trivia

* Nappa's name, like all Saiyans, is derived from the name of a vegetable. Namely, his name is taken from the Chinese cabbage known as Napa cabbage.
