| ~ Dr. Gero mocking Goku after killing nearby civilians. |
Summary
Doctor Gero (also known as Android 20) was the creator of the Red Ribbon Androids. Following the defeat of the Red Ribbon Army at the hands of Son Goku, Gero dedicated his life to revenge, creating many more androids, including models 16, 17, 18, and 19. Eventually, he turned himself into an android as well. When he finally went to finally seize his revenge, 19 was killed by Vegeta and Gero barely escaped to his laboratory. There, he activated Androids 17 and 18, who proceeded to kill him.

Attack Potency: Small Star level+, possibly Large Star level (Threatened Goku with his lasers. Was initially confident that Android 19, and by extension himself, could handle the power of a heart virus-stricken Super Saiyan Goku. Is stronger than Android 19), higher after absorbing energy (Added the power of those whose energy he drains onto his own)
