"I made you a promise didn't I? That I would show you a terror beyond Hell." - Frieza
Frieza, is the main antagonist of the Namek Saga in Dragon Ball Z and the Golden Frieza Saga in Dragon Ball Super. The emperor of Universe 7, Frieza is widely considered to be the main antagonist of the entire Dragon Ball franchise due to his influence on the events that created the series in the first place.
Background[]
Not much is known of Frieza's early life, all we know is that the Frieza Clan extends back hundreds of years, with his father King Cold being one of the previous leaders of the Frieza Force. An evil galactic empire that expands over the entire universe which conquers planets and sells them on the galactic market. A mutant born with unimaginable power, Frieza was the new leader of the Frieza Force and was relatively unrivaled, only few beings in the universe at the time rivaling or surpassing him such as Beerus and Majin Buu, two beings even his father warned him not to trifle with. After conquering the warrior race of the Saiyans, Frieza learned of the Super Saiyan, a legendary warrior who supposedly would have enough strength to rival even the mightiest warriors including himself. Fearing that he would be surpassed by the Saiyans ever growing power, Frieza destroyed the planet with only a few Saiyans being left alive. That being his biggest mistake he would ever make, a mistake that ultimately resulted in a series of cycles of demise and resurrection.

Powerscaling[]
Up to the Namek Saga, Frieza is by far the most powerful character shown. Being shown as superior to everyone else including planet busters like Saiyan Saga Piccolo and Vegeta, who by the time they face Frieza have grown exponentially stronger since then. Characters such as Kid Goku who can outpace the Solar Flare, Burter who can move faster than light according to himself, and Ginyu who can outpace his switch ability which is a beam of light are all far inferior to Frieza. Upon attaining his Golden Form, Frieza is able to compete with godlike characters such as Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta, Super Saiyan Blue being the equivalent of putting the Super Saiyan multiplier on Super Saiyan God which has the power to destroy the universe. Beerus' casual speed practically scales to every Universal character making them 212.25 quadrillion times the speed of light.
Weaknesses[]
- Extremely arrogant.
- Enjoys drawing out his opponent's suffering.
- Ki attacks/techniques require stamina.
