## Abilities and Power

### Transformations

#### Super Saiyan

##### A-type

A weakened variant of his regular Super Saiyan form, caused by Paragus's mind-controlling crown. His hair is neon blue, and purple in dark environments. He doesn't possess as much power as his true Super Saiyan form in this state, with Goku in base alone managing to deal with him in the beginning, although as the battle progressed he slowly grew stronger. Right before transforming in his Legendary Super Saiyan form, he was unfazed by Vegeta's energy blast to his back, while Vegeta was in his Super Saiyan Grade 2 state.

##### C-type

Broly first awakened this as a child when planet Vegeta blew up, encasing him and Paragaus in a force field to protect them. In various flashbacks he is seen in this state, although appearing pink or purple due to lighting. right before transforming into his Legendary Super Saiyan state, he assumes this green tinted form, and in the second movie he awakens from the ice by transforming into this form, capable of handily beating Trunks and Goten. However, once Gohan enters his Super Saiyan 2 state, Broly is shocked, transforming into his Legendary state in response, imply his regular Super Saiyan state was not enough to beat Super Saiyan 2 Gohan.

#### Legendary Super Saiyan

He first enters this state after meeting with Kakarrot as an adult, unable to contain his rage, his body literally bursts open, finally achieving this genetically unique form. His muscle mass and height grow: reaching 9'10" (300 cm) in height. His speed and strength are majorly increased, capable of dodging Goku and Piccolo's blows effortlessly while standing in one place and taking on Vegeta and Future Trunks in Super Saiyan Grade 2, Goku and Gohan in Super Saiyan Full Power and Piccolo after merging with Kami, continually growing in strength throughout the battle. Indeed, Goku needed to channel Vegeta's, Future Trunk's, Gohan's and Piccolo's chi into one final blow to beat Broly, although incapable of killing him. When powering up to full power his hair turns dull yellow, as it does for the entirety of the second movie.

Once Broly appears on earth and assumes this state, Gohan, even as a Super Saiyan 2, can barely inflict any damage on Broly, with Broly even gripping him in a bear hug. He manages to survive lava that Gohan tricked him into getting caught in, by using his ki shield.

## History

### Past

Broly was born on the same day as Kacarrot. In the Saiyan delivery room where he rested, Broly tried to sleep while Kacarrot continued to cry, causing Broly to have a grudge towards him. When King Vegeta heard of the baby boy's battle power, he feared the threat the boy posed to his empire, and so he gave the order for the infant's execution. Broly's father, Paragus, begged the king to spare the child's life, attesting that his son could be an extreme asset to King Vegeta and his son. However, King Vegeta was quick to point out that while this is true, the same is true that Broly could use his ever-increasing strength to overthrow the Saiyan royal family. King Vegeta also sentenced Paragus to death and shot him with a Kikouha. Broly was stabbed in the chest during this incident, and left was to die with his father.

When Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Freeza, Broly created an Energy Barrier, shielding himself and his father. As Broly developed, it became clear to Paragus that King Vegeta was not unjustified in trying to kill him (though he may not have considered King Vegeta's point). Broly's behavior became more maniacal and erratic as he matured, due to his power and the traumatic events during his infancy. One such consequence of this was when Broly punched Paragus in the face and blinded him in the left eye.

Fearing for his own safety but still unwilling to kill Broly, Paragus used a ring as a special control device to keep Broly under restraint. Paragus narrowly managed to survive adorning Broly with the ring; Broly's calmness vanished as soon as he noticed the crown that Paragus tried to place on his forehead. After successfully doing so, Paragus launched a plan to use Earth as a base of operations for universal domination and to take revenge on Vegeta by luring him to a planet doomed to be destroyed by a giant comet. During this time, he also used Broly to destroy the remaining planets in the South Area, such being the main cause of the realization of disturbance in the universe from the North Kaioh.
