## Biography

### Before What-If 14

Alongside Goku, Vegeta faces off against the newly awakened God of Destruction Beerus, who is in search of the Super Saiyan God. Tired of the two Saiyans, Beerus asks them to bring forth the Super Saiyan God. Vegeta answers for him to wait they gather the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron, so they can get info on the Super Saiyan God. Beerus accepts.

After the dragon is summoned, he tells the Dragon Team of the required Ritual to access the form, with Vegeta being chosen as the one who will become the Super Saiyan God of legend.
After harnessing the form, he fights Beerus.

### What-If 14

Few days later the battle with the God of Destruction, Vegeta is walking back home after doing groceries. Bulma calls him, angrily asking him why he's taking so long, with Vegeta answering by shouting at his wife. At that very moment, a dark figure appears behind the Saiyan Prince, preparing a Ki attack.
Vegeta senses him and, after ending the call, dodges the Ki blast and attacks his aggressor. He notices the uncanny similarities Black has with Goku, along with his possession of a tail. Black asks of Goku, the Super Saiyan God, with Vegeta answering how he got it wrong. After this, Black makes up his mind and decides to warm-up on Vegeta.

The two Saiyans start to do battle, with Black being amazed at Vegeta's strength, quickly deducing he must have been the one to undergo the Ritual. After uppercutting Black into the sky, Vegeta demands of his identity, with Black simply answering by destroying a nearby city, saying how he still hasn't beaten Trunks in the main timeline. Vegeta laughs at this, once again asking of his identity.
After teleporting behind Vegeta, Black finally explains how he traveled into another timeline in order to become stronger. After doing so, he returns to the main timeline, only to find Trunks alongside Goku and Vegeta. With his immortal counterpart trapped via the Evil Containment Wave, Black stood no chances against his enemies, barely escaping at the last second using his Time Ring. From this even, Black decides he'll become strong enough to ensure no defeat.

Vegeta remarks he won't let him get out of there alive, transforming into Super Saiyan alongside Black. The two Saiyans restart their battle, with Black forcing Vegeta to transform into Super Saiyan God. With his deduction proved correct, Black activates the Kaio-ken on top of his Super Saiyan form, evening out the battle.
This until Vegeta manages to trap his enemy with a Ki ability, who subsequently uses a technique similar to Hellzone Grenade, prompting Black to summon a barrier.
After removing the barrier, Black tells Vegeta that he has surely noticed that his power has increased since the start of their fight, and that he doesn't need the Kaio-ken anymore, immediately launching various Ki spheres, who are all pushed back by Vegeta, who is quickly approaching him. After Black blinds him with a Solar Flare and lunges at him, the two Saiyans move to the ground.
Black asks the Saiyan Prince if he knows why Goku was never able to combine the Kaio-ken and the Super Saiyan form, briefly explaining how such combination is lethal for the body and how he managed to bypass it by using the Kaio-ken in short bursts of time and then healing. Beyond removing the lethal effect of the combination, Black also adds how he gains small Zenkai Boosts from it, concluding how it won't take long before he outpowers Vegeta. The latter retorts how he won't live enough for it, launching a Final Flash.

Black is engulfed by the blast, emerging in a new transformation, which he claims is the "true form of a Saiyan" and that in order to adjust to Goku's body, he'll do battle like this. After explaining how he came to know of such form, Black once again attacks, totally overwhelming Vegeta.
After being distracted by a Ki construct of his adversary, Black teleports behind Vegeta, quickly preparing a Kamehameha. Vegeta counter-attacks with a Ki blast of his own, clashing with Black's Kamehameha. Black mocks Vegeta's power despite his access to Super Saiyan God, with the latter answering by increasing the power of his attack, with this proving fruitless. Vegeta is struck by the Kamehameha, his armor destroyed.

As the injured Vegeta stands still, he tells Black how he trained every day of his life to arrive where he is now, while Black simply stole the fruits of the training of Goku, remarking how he's disgusted by Black's existence. With this, the Saiyan Prince breaks his limits and transforms into an Evolved State of Super Saiyan God.
Black claims how he never knew this form existed and that Vegeta keeps surprising him, with the latter rebutting how Saiyans break their limits in situations such as these. Content with this new course of events, Black immediately attacks by unleashing a Ki blast, with Vegeta answering with a Galick Gun, engulfing Black's attack. The sheer strength of Vegeta, now bordering onto Super Saiyan Blue, forces Black to summon a barrier.
As the resulting explosion dissipates, Vegeta says how he realized the weakness of the form of Black, and as the latter emerges from the barrier, Vegeta summons a Destructo Disc and moves behind him, ready to cut hit tail. Surprised by this, Black teleports away, immediately unleashing a Ki blast. Vegeta flies right through it, reaching Black and pummeling him. As the two continue to strike one another, the battle moves to an arctic zone. Black says how he was glad of being wrong about Vegeta, the latter pushing him to such degrees.
Black activates the Kaio-ken, and moves in for the last attack, hitting Vegeta, who is sent into a mountain. After the Saiyan lands he drops Black's tail, who he managed to cut. Vegeta exclaims how Black is just a fake, and that a true Saiyan won't ever lose to one, before he unleashes a Final Explosion, striking Black.

Vegeta tells the now defeated Black to not move a muscle, with the latter admitting how unexpected Vegeta change of power was, with it favoring him. Black transforms into Super Saiyan Rosé, with the mere pressure generated by the transformation surprising Vegeta. Black, having obtained what he wanted, tells Vegeta how he should've cut off his arm before his tail and after thanking him, he uses his Time Ring and teleports away.
