Android 18 is a minor antagonist and main antagonist in DBZ: History of trunks. turned supporting protagonist and Krillin's wife from the *Dragon Ball*​series.

## Background

Originally an ordinary human by the name of Lazuli, Android 18 is one half of a pair of a notorious delinquent duo alongside her younger twin brother, Lapis. The pair would have the unfortunate fate of crossing the maniacal Dr. Gero’s path while on his search for test subjects for his artificial human experiments. Lapis and Lazuli were then captured, killed and rebuilt as cyborgs by Dr. Gero, using a combination of their original human physiology as a base, adding in machinery for various weapon and combat systems, cybernetically-enhanced parts and the rest of her body now being biomechanical as to allow her to be fused with Cell at the cellular level. Lazuli ultimately ended up being transformed into Artificial Human 18, the eighteenth creation in this line of experiments.

However, before being unleashed upon the world, disaster had befallen the Z-Warriors; Goku had died due to a heart disease, leaving none strong enough to truly oppose the new Android threat. With their amazing strength and retained delinquent nature, 18 and her younger brother, 17, unleashed havoc upon the earth and used it as their personal playground, doing, going, killing and/or destroying anyone or anything on a mere whim. In this future timeline, Son Gohan and Trunks Brief were the only ones capable of opposing them after most of the Z-Warriors had been mercilessly slaughtered, but ultimately fail. In their final stand against the Artificial Humans, Gohan was killed and Trunks escaped to the past with newfound power to warn the Z-warriors of the eventual threat.

In this new timeline created by Future Trunks’ interference, the Androids are once again unleashed upon the Earth and proceed to wreak havoc - this time joined by Androids 16, 19, 20 (Dr. Gero) and a version of Cell from an alternate future. After encountering the Z-Warriors in several instances and building up somewhat of a bond with Krillin, 18 is absorbed by Cell to reach his Perfect Form as Gero had intended. She’s eventually regurgitated during the final battle, and with Cell defeated, Krillin decides to make a wish to Shenron to return her to being fully human, but this wish cannot be granted. Shenron instead removes the self-destruct devices capable of wiping out planets from their bodies. Sometime later, Krillin and 18 somehow hooked up, got married and had a healthy daughter by the name of Marron. They live a happy life of caring for their daughter, squabbling over money and spending time training and hanging out with Goku and friends.

## Feats

### Strength

* In the Android Saga broke Super Saiyan Vegeta’s arm casually (Keep in mind that Vegeta's extremely high ki levels improved his body to support an impressive amount of weight, leading up to the fight, Vegeta was training in 450x gravity, making his weight about 55,000 pounds, that means the muscles in his legs would be supporting over 40,000 pounds, the equivalent of 8 pick-up trucks).
* Punches are strong enough to hurt Vegeta, Super Saiyan Goten and Trunks.
* Punches and kicks were strong enough to damage Super Saiyan Vegeta.
* Kicked away a suppressed Super Saiyan Blue Goku’s Kamehameha attack.
* Strong enough to indent Super Saiyan Vegeta into a wall with a single smack.
* Broke Lovely Love Ribrianne's fist.
