Raditz- He is the son of Bardock, one of the most powerful Saiyans from planet Vegeta, and he is first introduced when he comes to earth looking for his brother, Goku. He was one of the few surviving Saiyans after the planets destruction. When he arrived on earth, his power was inferior to both Goku?nd Piccollo?and he underestimated the,. His main fighting weakness is that he becomes careless and lets his opponents win. His death occurred when Goku held him in a full nelson and Piccollo used his special beam cannon (Makkankosappo), and destroyed them both.

Nappa- He is the fighting companion and best friend of Prince Vegeta, he displays incredible strength, but has the brain of a cockroach. However, he fears Vegeta very much and his foolish actions often anger him, making him scared. His untimely death occurred when fighting Goku. He was nearly paralyzed by one of Goku?aioken attacks, and Vegeta finished his foolish friend by blowing him into the next dimension with his Big Bang attack.

Frieza- Frieza was one of the most powerful beings in the universe in his own time. He ran an elite class of warriors that would go around destroying the populace of a planet and selling the planet to the highest bidder. He employed the Saiyans to do this at one point, but they soon turned against him. Frieza has the ability to transform his shape in stages, each stage increasing his power level. However, his arrogance would be his undoing, when he destroyed Goku?est friend Krillin. This created such anger in Goku that he went SSJ1 and nearly destroyed Freiza. However, out of the kindness in his heart, he gave Frieza enough power to survive the explosion of Namek, the planet they were on. However, his father, King Cold, rebuilt him into a robot like creature. Trunks quickly eliminated him one last time.

King Cold- King Cold only appears once, at the end of the Frieza Saga. He is the father of Frieza, and was responsible for the rebuilding of his son. However, both he and his son were soon destroyed by the Trunks from the future, with just a few whacks of his sword.

Cooler- He is also the son of King Cold, and the brother of Frieza. He only plays a minor part in Dragonball Z, but shows up in many of the movies. He is stronger than Freiza, but Goku still managages to eliminate him.

Dodoria- One of Frieza?op henchman, Dodoria is of an unknown species, and he tends to pick on the weaker opponents due to his size. However, after Vegeta is healed from his time in the rejuvenation tank, Dodoria is no match for him, and he is defeated easily.

Zarbon- He make look like a pansy, but he was another one of Frieza?op agents. He also has the ability to transform like Frieza, his master. In his second stage, his muscles swell and make him very powerful, but very slow. Long after his loyalty to Frieza, he is blasted into another dimension by Vegeta during a very fierce battle.

The Ginyu Force- So named for their leader, Captain Ginyu, the group also includes Burter, Recoome, Jeice, and Guldo. They were hired by Frieza to find the dragonballs and to fight the Z team, but after Goku came along, they weren?uch of a match. They were defeated mostly by their own silliness, like when they play rock, paper, scissors to find out who fights first. They also have some obsession with flashing a pose at the beginning of the battle.

Garlic Jr.- First mentioned in the movie ? Dead Zone??arlic Jr. returns in DBZ to take vengeance over his fathers death. In some instances he has the ability to transform into a much larger being, normally only being about three feet tall. He is of the Mako-Jin Species, and he gets all his energy from the Mako- Jin star. He was granted immortality by the eternal Shenron of earth after he collected all the Dragonballs.

Spice Boys- Very similar to the Ginyu Force, they are loyal to Garlic Jr. and play only a small part in the Garlic Jr. Saga. They have weird names, Mustard, Spice, Salt, and Vinegar, and are sort of like the Spice Girls. They follow Garlic Jr.?ommands because he is stronger.

Dr. Gero- he was originally just a mad scientist, one who created all of the androids mentioned in the Dragonball Z series. After a while, he ordered one of his first androids, called Android 19, to turn him into an android so that he could have a stronger body but the same brain. He created all of the Androids, #1-#19. However, right after Androids 17 and 18 were activated, they realized that Doctor Gero had the power to deactivate them, and they did not want that, so they destroyed him.

Android 19- The first android to be introduced in Dragonball Z, 19 is a high voiced Android, i hate to say male, so I?call it ?h masculine programming.?? doesn?eally do much except get beaten really bad by Vegeta, but he helped Dr. Gero become and Android.

Android 17- He was the android who originally killed his creator, Dr. Gero, and he and his twin sister, #18 escaped from the lab. He is very similar to his sister, except later on he just wants to destroy everything. In DBGT, there is something called the "Super 17" Era, when Dr. Gero came back from the dead and created a new #17. This one fused with the one who went to Hell when Cell died, forming the most powerful android in the world. He was destroyed by Goku in DBGT.

Android 18- She is very similar to her twin ?ther??ndroid 17, except she is more passive than he is, while still being evil. She eventually gets absorbed by Cell, another Android, at Vegeta?idding, but escapes after the Cell Games (See Below). After these games, the Z fighters wish for her to become a human, and after she is, she marries Krillin.

Android 16- The strongest of all the Androids, he is also the calmest, a nature lover who, according to Akira Toyama, the creator, was made to reflect his own love of nature. He doesn't fight unless he really needs to, and, after some programming done to him by Bulma, he becomes a good guy. He helped a lot in the fight with Cell, then was destroyed.

Cell- Cell is the last and most dangerous of all the androids created by Doctor Gero. He is a DNA experiment and contains some DNA of all the Z fighters, which is where he gets his power. He has the abilities of all the Z fighters, except greater in power, alomg with the ability to regenerate himself and to absorb energy using his tail. He became what he called ?fect Cell??ter absorbing android 18, and ?ra Perfect Cell??fter he was nearly destroyed and he regenerated himself. However, at the end of the ?l Games??at he created, he got Gohan so mad about his father?eath that Gohan went SSJ2 and killed him once and for all with a Kamehamea wave.

Android 13- I don't know very much about this android, except that he is the main villain in movie #7, and he turns into this big blue creature after absorbing Androids 14 and 15. He was the last android that Dr. Gero was working on before his death.

Android 14- I don't know much about this android either, except it is the most boring part of Movie #7. Trunks sliced him up with his sword, which he deserved for being so dumb.

Android 15- He also plays a fairly minor role in Movie #7. He doesn't do much, just sits around drinking whiskey while #14 irritates him. He fights Vegeta, but Vegeta quickly puts an end to him.

Android 8- He is definately the most harmless of all the androids created by Doctor Gero. He was first seen in Dragonball, where he became Goku's friend. I'll find the info on the other androids in DB and the movies soon.

Babi-di: Babi-din is the dark world's strongest "mage". He look old and frail, but he contains incredible magic powers. He is the son of the wizard who created Buu hundreds of years ago. His main hold over Buu is that he knows the spell that can seal him up again.

Buu- Buu was created by Bibi-di as a weapon to use against the Kaiou-shins. He defaeats most of them , then he is cursed as Fat Buu. After several years, Bibi-di used him again to try and destroy the earth. After absorbing good Buu, SSJ3 Gotenks, Piccollo, Vegitto, and Mystic Gohan, he split into two seperate entities, Fat Buu, who joined the Z team, and Majin Buu (Bad Buu). Majin Buu was destroyed by Goku, then he reincarnated in the form of Ubuu. Ubuu was trained by Goku to be good, and he became a good guy in the end.
