While Cell was one of the greatestDragon Ballvillains of the original manga , he whole robbed fans of the sequel series – Dragon Ball Super – from see a villain who would have arguably been the deadliest opposition in the history ofDragon Ball : himself .

Cell made his first appearing inDragon Ballchapter 361 by Akira Toriyama . Upon his debut , Cell is challenge by Piccolo who catches the villain banqueting on the life forces of innocent people to make himself more powerful . The rationality Cell is able to do this is that he is a specific eccentric of Android that was created from the electric cell of constitutional life . Those cells were stolen from Goku and as well as much everyone Goku ever came into contact with , which is whyCell was immensely powerfulright from the start .

InDragon Ballchapter 365 by Akira Toriyama , Cell had just break away from the Z Fighters after the zep of Earth ganged up against him in an endeavor to end his villainy before it had the chance to lead off . Before he left , however , Cell told Piccolo everything about himself , include his blood , where he was from , and what his goals were . As he revealed to Piccolo , this version of Cell is from an alternate futurity whotraveled back in fourth dimension using Trunks ’ metre machineto absorb Androids 17 and 18 in orderliness to unlock his double-dyed mannequin . In his timeline , 17 and 18 were already defeated by Trunks , so prison term travel was the only fortune Cell had at hit his true potential . However , there was one more piece of information Cell gave the Z Fighters – one that completely eliminate the possible action of Cell ’s tax return inDragon Ball Super : that there was a version of him in this timeline as well .

Since Cell did n’t wake up until more than twenty years in the future , the rendering of him from this present timeline was fundamentally a foetus that was still being grown by Dr. Gero ’s supercomputer in his secret secret lab . After Cell tells the Z Fighters who he is , they come to the conclusion that – while it wo n’t impact the adult electric cell – they well go wipe out the baby version of the villain , so they do n’t have to parcel out with him later – which is precisely what they do in this chapter . The disaster of it all is that the mainDragon Balltimeline ’s Cell would have been awake up around the same metre as the start ofDragon BallSuper , and since Cell was an accrual of cells collected from Goku and the people he both agitate and befriends , Cell would have been way more muscular inDBS.Dragon Ball Supershows combatant like Goku , Vegeta , and evenFrieza manage the power of the gods , and if Cell was able to steal their DNA after they unlocked that amount of might , he would have been able to draw rein that mogul himself and be far solid than he is inDragon Ball Z.

WhileDragon Ball Super : Super Herointroduced buff to Cell Max which is , by all count , a edition of Cell powerful enough to tangle with the Z Fighters at their current strength , Cell Max is not the original Cell . The original cubicle could have been growing all this time decently under everyone ’s nose , quietly collecting sample of mass ’s DNA just as the one from the time to come had done in his original timeline , only this one would have been collecting cells from people who rein in the power of cosmic god . Since the power levels of the Z Fighters increase inSuper , so would Cell ’s power layer . However , sinceDBZ ’s Cell slop his guts about his origin and the fact that this timeline had its own Cell as well – sparking theDragon Ballheroes to take violent action at law – fans were totally pluck of what could have beenDragon Ball Super ’s greatest villain .
