Cell is one of the very few characters inDragon Ball Zwho managed to take down almost everyDragon Ballwarrior with his immense strength and abilities. He was the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, who combined the genetics of the greatest fighters on Earth. He still holds the title of one of the strongest anime villains, and his character development has a lot of complexities.
The main reason behind these complexities in Cell’s character development was his ability to get stronger by absorbing other characters. Without this ability, Cell would have been an easy target and would have never made it to the top ofDragon Ball’svillain list. Until he reached his perfect form, he was pretty weak and didn’t pose much threat to theDragon Ballworld.
In fact, one of the most important characters, Vegeta, had the chance to take down Cell quite easily, but he gave up that chance because of his arrogance. This led to the series being extended even more and theDragon Ballwarriors facing the full extent of Cell’s dangerous abilities.
Cell’s Perfect Form inDragon Ball Z
In theDragon Ballnarrative, Cell had many different forms that evidently pointed out his power levels. From Imperfect Cell to Cell Max, all of these forms have had a huge impact on the narrative, but none of them have been as menacing and dangerous as Perfect Cell. He is considered to be the best villain ofDragon Ballby many fans.

He is the perfect adaptation into a humanoid form, as he absorbed Android 17 and Android 18 to achieve it. He is confident, and his extreme power levels justify his arrogance. His confidence in his power is reflected in the fact that he gives theDragon Ballwarriors time to prepare themselves and get stronger to fight him in a ferocious battle.
ThePerfect Cell had many dangerous abilities, including the ability to produce Cell Jr., which were just smaller versions of Cell but with similar attack power. Even Goku admitted that he was not a match for Perfect Cell and withdrew from his battle, which was one of the very few moments that shockedDragon Ballfans.
Vegeta Could Have Easily Killed Cell
Although Perfect Cell was the epitome of the villain, it took him a lot of time to reach that level. He had to absorb some of the strongest characters to finally awaken the hidden power within him. If theDragon Ballwarriors had stopped him in the process, they would have easily defeated Cell without even breaking a sweat.
In fact, Vegeta even had a chance to do so. When Vegeta first faced Cell, he was in his imperfect form, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t stand up to the might of the legendary Saiyan.

Vegeta toyed with Cell and was about to take him down when Cell challenged Vegeta’s ego by pointing out that Vegeta would have never been able to even land a punch ifCell had achieved perfection.

Vegeta, being the arrogant Saiyan that he is, decides to give Cell a chance to attain his perfect form and test his full power. However, the tables turned quickly, and just like Cell predicted, Vegeta couldn’t land a significant blow on Perfect Cell. He even recovered from his dangerous Final Flash move, and thus, the blame for Cell achieving his final form landed on Vegeta.
