Baby Vegeta

"*What a laughable ending for a miserable Saiyan. It's time to rid this world of you.*"
— Baby Vegeta, What-If 9

**Baby Vegeta** is a character introduced in What-If 9. An incarnation of Baby that was successful in killing Goku during his conquest of Earth, thanks to Goku Black's intervention. This action, though, attracts the Legendary Super Saiyan.

## Appearance

Baby Vegeta appears identical to his counterpart from *Dragon Ball GT*.

## Personality

### What-If 14

As Goku Black once again reaches the GT timeline, he observes Goku turn into a Super Saiyan 3, preparing himself to face Baby Vegeta.

### What-If 9

Baby prepares to end a tired Goku, the latter unable to sustain the Super Saiyan 3 form due to his small body. Right at this moment, Goku Black appears, telling Baby to not hold back and to put all his strength in killing the Saiyan. Despite initial hesitance, Baby is convinced, promptly blasting Goku with a Final Flash, killing him.
With him dead, Baby asks why Black is here, with the latter replying by saying that he's already been into this timeline and returned to it since it's so similar to his idealized world, subsequently proposing to Baby to become allies.

However, due to Goku's death, a surprisingly alive Broly awakens from his slumber in space, immediately locating "Kakarot"'s Ki and rushing towards Earth. Broly, having gained a new Zenkai from his permanence in space, transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan 3, dashing towards Black while totally ignoring Baby. Black easily counter-attacks, beating Broly down before blasting him, ridiculing him as weak. While Broly lays on the ground, he notices the moon, turning into a Legendary Golden Great Ape, immediately engaging Black and Baby. As Black says they have to destroy the moon, Baby does just that, thus forcing Broly to return to his base form.
Broly rapidly returns to battle, transforming into his newly gained Legendary Super Saiyan 4 form, immediately pummeling Black and Baby. Overwhelmed by their foe, Black and Baby respectively transform into Super Saiyan Rosé and Tuffleized Super Saiyan 2, with the latter asking Black to distract Broly as he gains energy from his people to prepare a Revenge Death Ball.

While Black is utterly outclassed by Broly, Baby finishes charging the Death Ball and, after transforming even further, launches it at the Saiyan. Broly, after noticing the incoming Ki sphere, launches Black away, before counter-attacking with a Ki sphere of his own, forcing a stalemate, surprising Baby. Black immediately intervenes, moving behind Broly and blocking him, letting the Death Ball engulf Broly's attack. As the Ki sphere approaches, Black teleports away, leaving Broly to block it.
With one last push from the two allied villains, the Death Ball seemingly annihilates Broly.

The Legendary Super Saiyan emerges from the explosion unscathed, shrinking down the Death Ball, he comments he was worried for nothing. As Black teleports beside Baby, the latter astonishingly wonders how their foe could have become so strong when he was weaker than each of them earlier, with Black explaining how Broly has been exploiting Zenkais in order to grow in strength ever since their battle started. He gained a total of three Zenkais: the first after his return from space, the second after being beaten by Black and the third after reverting from a Legendary Golden Great Ape. Black further adds how he could be undergoing a fourth Zenkai, while also fearing the possibility of him obtaining a fifth and reaching the "Super Saiyan 5" transformation.
Seen how they're completely outclassed, Black extracts the Potara Earrings. After explaining their usage to the Tuffle Parasite, Baby agrees to fuse with him since they share the same ambition of destroying Saiyans.

The two allies fuse, forming Baby Vegito Black. The Potara Fusion's power is enough to overwhelm Broly, who is completely at the mercy of Vegito. As the Legendary Super Saiyan grows furious, Vegito mocks him, concluding how he'll have the honor to die to him. Broly unleashes an Eraser Cannon, only for it to be annihilated by Vegito's Final Kamehameha, which strikes Broly.
Broly, now amputated, reaches for Vegito, screaming Kakarot's name, with Vegito answering by summoning a Spirit Sword and stabbing Broly, before detonating a Ki explosion inside him, killing him for good.

## Abilities

* Power Scaling
* Transformations

Baby Vegeta appears in the Power Scaling video, and is ranked as such:

### Tuffleized Super Saiyan

After making Vegeta his permanent host, Baby's transformations are mutated variations of the normal Super Saiyan forms. As a Tuffleized Super Saiyan, Baby Vegeta's overall look remains the same, with his hair becoming completely white and his eyes turning red.

He beats and kills Super Saiyan 3 Goku while in this state.

### Tuffleized Super Saiyan 2

Baby assumes this form after Broly transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan 4 and pummels him and Black. Before returning to battle Broly, Black calls this form a "mutated Super Saiyan 2". Baby does not use this form for long, only to gather energy from his people in order to create a Revenge Death Ball.
While in this state, Baby's shirt is ripped apart, and red lines appear on his chest and forehead. His hair become more longer and spikier and his eyes become completely blue, resembling visors. He gains a pair of long shoulder pads.

### Tuffleized Super Saiyan 3

Baby assumes this form after gathering enough energy from his slaves worldwide while charging a Revenge Death Ball. He remains in this form for the rest of his battle against Broly, and when fusing with Black.
Baby's hair become more long, and are placed similarly to his real form's head. He now wears a black bodysuit with a white breastplate, alongside a pair of yellow and red gloves and boots. The shoulder pads have shrunk down, taking on a more oval shape.
## Triva

* This incarnation of Baby is one of the components of the first fan-made fusion to appear in the What-If Series, Baby Vegito Black. The other is Goku Black;
* Baby's battle against Broly ironically mirrors what happens in *Dragon Ball GT*, where an initially outclassed Saiyan after achieving the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, manages to turn the tables on him, overpowering the Tuffle Parasite;
* It is theorized in the Power Scaling video that if one more Saiyan was present during Baby's gathering of energy in order to transform into Strongest Form 1, he may have instead achieved the "Super Saiyan God" transformation.
