Cell

Cell, also known as Perfect Cell, is the main protagonist of DevilArtemis' Cell Vs. series.

A foul-mouthed, perverted and immature version of the original Cell from the Dragon Ball franchise, he is a bio-android originally created to kill the Saiyan Son Goku, but ultimately veered off that goal and starting doing his own thing, mostly creating videos, hanging out with his friends Kermit the Frog and Shallot the Ancient Saiyan, or challenging anyone who steps foot into his arena.

History
Just like his canon counterpart, Cell is a bio-android created by Dr. Gero's supercomputer for the sole purpose of killing the Super Saiyan Son Goku. To achieve this, he was given the cells and DNA of the strongest warriors Dr. Gero knew about, which included the tyrant Frieza and his father King Cold, the Namekian Piccolo, The Saiyan Prince Vegeta, and Goku himself. He was tasked by the computer to absorb Android twins #17 and 18 in order to reach his "Perfect form" and achieve immense power.

Unfortunately, Cell discovered that his world's 17 and 18 were destroyed by Vegeta's son, Trunks, thus, Cell kills him and takes his time machine to go back in time to when 17 and 18 were still alive. However, being too big to fit in the machine, he turned into his egg state before arriving in the present, and after that, he burrows underground for the next 4 years to fully grow back to his adult form. After time was up, Cell begun absorbing numerous humans to increase his strength.

As soon as Cell was ready to start his plan however, he suffered numerous setbacks in his attempts to absorb 17 and 18, including being attacked by another one of Dr. Gero's creations, Android 16, and being challenged by Goku's friends and allies. Despite these problems, Cell was still able to absorb the Androids and finally achieved his Perfect Form. With these powers, he decimated Krillin, Vegeta and an alternate Trunks. However, rather than destroy the Earth immediately, Cell decided to spare it and instead held his own martial arts tournament, the Cell Games. If he won, he would destroy the Earth. In the canon timeline, he was destroyed by Goku's son Gohan with his Kamehameha. However, unlike his canon counterpart, he eventually canceled the tournament (though it is implied that the events of the Games still happened and that Cell simply gave up the fight after losing to Gohan, as he gives an offhand comment about "taking daddy with him" in Perfect Cell Vs Ultimate Gohan, and Goku even mentions him blowing up King Kai's planet in Perfect Cell vs King Kai), and decided to just move on and do his own activities.

Meeting Kermit
In How Perfect Cell Met Kermit, Cell learned from Akira Toriyama that due to his defeat, he could no longer appear in any Dragon Ball-related media, aside from video games and the Dragon Ball Heroes franchise, thus making him incapable of getting money. He went back to his Arena, wondering what to do next, until he discovered Kermit the Frog. Seemingly aware of the Bio-Android's predicament, Kermit tried to make Cell feel better by playing a song on his guitar, but it only confused and annoyed Cell. When Cell revealed he wanted payback on Goku and Gohan for putting him out work, Kermit convinced him otherwise stating that revenge was pointless and stated that he could solve his money problems by making videos. Taking inspiration from the channel TeamFourStar, Cell and Kermit became friends, with Kermit even giving Cell his iconic shades.

Personality
As stated above, Cell is shown to be foul-mouthed, short-tempered, and also somewhat perverted. Like his canon counterpart, he is incredibly arrogant and confident in his power level; In Perfect Cell Vs Fall Guys, he points out to Shallot that the reason why he rarely fights people in the Vs videos is because most of his opponents are below his power, and that he could easily kill them "in the span of 30 seconds". His arrogance and habit of not fighting enemies with weak power levels can also make him a easy target for the weaker enemies with them using an attack that can take him down.

Cell is also quite short-tempered, getting rather angered upon losing or being in the receiving end of a beatdown, to the point that he would use underhanded tactics to defeat his opponent. However, this temper is not as extreme as his canon counterpart (who will fly into a fit of rage when starting to lose a battle and probably "pull a Frieza"), and he even admits defeat and keeps his composure.

Unlike his counterpart, who has no friends so to speak, this Cell values his "friends" greatly, which is best shown with Kermit. In Perfect Cell Vs El Hermano and Perfect Cell Vs Beerus, when the respective opponent was about to kill both him and his friends (Ugandan Knuckles in the former, and Kermit in the latter), Cell flies into a fit of rage and transforms into "Ultra Instinct Cell", defeating said opponent effortlessly. In the Perfect Cell Vs the Omni-King, when ordered by Zeno the Omni King to kill Cermit with a "C", otherwise he would destroy the DevilArtemis Universe, Cell refused to do so (he believed he was talking about the actual Kermit) and actually proceeded to dare Zeno to kill him. In Perfect Cell Vs Kronk, he quickly becomes friends with the character Kronk, to the point they both attack and kill Goku's son Gohan together much to the former's horror. By the next time they met, Kronk goes against him in Perfect Cell Vs Kronk Episode 2 for not paying his bar tab. And in Perfect Cell Vs Jigglypuff, he disapproved of Kermit's abuse of the titular Pokémon.

Despite being a far better person than the original (to the point of ignoring his former master's orders to kill Goku), Cell has displayed his counterpart's bloodlust, mercilessness, and overall questionable actions. Despite not attempting to destroy the Earth anymore, he still doesn't seem to like Goku and friends, as he insulted and pulled a gun on Slick Goku (an alternate version of the Saiyan) in Perfect Cell Vs Slick Goku [Blender Animation], assaulted and harassed Gohan multiple times (even killing him as stated above), destroyed a part of the city and killed untold amounts of people to intimidate Mr. Satan, mocked Vegeta for the "Majin" symbol on his forehead in Perfect Cell Vs Majin Vegeta, and often insults his friends (especially Shallot, whom he looks down on). In fact, the whole reason why Shallot tried to fight him in Perfect Cell Vs Shallot was because of Cell's supposed "villainy" (due to Shallot being unaware that Cell reformed). Due to these actions, Cell is described as a good-natured but arrogant, rude, and destructive anti-hero at best, and a violent psychopathic and immature monster at worst.

In his previous two forms, he displayed personalities different from his Perfect form. As "Imperfect Cell", he is cunning and calculating, never underestimates his opponents, and knows when he can't win and opts to flee. However, as "Semi-Perfect Cell", he takes a lot of pride in his appearance (despite his face being far from pretty), and is extremely arrogant, possibly even more than in his Perfect form. Supplementary material claims that his arrogance in that form is because of Vegeta's genes inside of him.

Power
Before reaching his Perfect Form, Cell was highly outclassed by other warriors, due to this being the point where Goku and Vegeta attained their Super Saiyan forms, and where Piccolo became a "Super Namekian". Even after transforming into his Semi-Perfect form, he was still easily beaten by Vegeta as an Ascended Super Saiyan. As Perfect Cell, his power skyrockets to the point where he can now easily beat an Ascended Super Saiyan, and hold his own against Goku and Gohan as Full Power Super Saiyans. Upon Gohan transforming into a Super Saiyan 2, Cell was hopelessly outclassed by the Saiyan hybrid; his punches literally had no effect on Gohan. As a result, Cell had to regurgitate Android 18 and turn back into his Semi-Perfect form. After nearly killing himself after self-destructing, Cell was finally able to power up and reach his peak, due to the Saiyan cells in his body (a Saiyan gets a massive power boost after recovering from a near-death experience), to the point where he is now far stronger than a regular Super Saiyan, at the same level of strength as a Super Saiyan 2.

As Cell is not seen training in the videos, it is highly likely that his power remains the same. As a result, Cell is likely highly outclassed by other characters (especially Goku, who attained Super Saiyan 3, 4, and Super Saiyan Blue, which are far stronger forms of Super Saiyan 2). Despite that, Cell is still able to hold his own against most others, and even manages to survive numerous beatdowns, due to his insane durability and healing factor he inherited from Piccolo. Later on, he gains the power of Budget Increase, which is safe to assume is stronger than a Super Saiyan 2, although he dislikes actually using said powers, since the highest form he can go is that of his Jump Force character model, which Goku finds ugly.

In the Perfect Cell vs Beerus episodes, Cell temporarily gains the power of Ultra Instinct, allowing him to easily defeat Beerus the God of Destruction with one punch. However, he unceremoniously lost Ultra Instinct (as well as a little bit of Budget Increase) thanks to Gogeta Blue's Soul Punisher technique.
