Strength:
-Cell's rate of physical attacks is extremely high, as he delivers multiple punches and kicks to his opponent per second.
-Cell has sent his opponents flying over huge land masses from hard hits many times.
-Cell sent Hercule flying into a large rock mound from slightly tapping him with the back of his hand.
-Since we have previously decided that a 2500 ton bench-press is fair for Goku at maximum strength, I find it reasonable to put Cell at around a 2000 ton bench press at maximum strength.
Speed:
Since we have previously agreed that Goku moves at about 99% lightspeed, I find it a fair estimate to say that Cell moves at about 80% - 90% lightspeed. However, Cell learned Instant Transmission when recovering from his self-destruct, and with this technique Cell exceeds the speed of light, as the technique is instant.
Durability/Endurance:
-Cell was able to take Krillin's Destructo Disk to the back of his neck with no effect at all.
-Cell stood and examined his new perfect form as Krillin was attacking him rapidly. Cell seemed to not pay attention to Krillin at all.
-Cell was able to keep up with the endurance of SSJ2 Gohan.
-Cell has the genes of Saiyans, which vastly increases his healing ability.
-Cell has the genes of Piccolo, letting him regenerate even from one single cell.
-Cell was able to easily fight SSJ Goku, and then immediately fight SSJ-SSJ2 Gohan.
-Cell easily fended off Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha's attacks at the same time while still having a Kamehameha struggle with SSJ2 Gohan.
Intellect:
-Cell is known to be a battle genius, as he inherited cells/power from Goku, Vegeta, Tien, Krillin, Piccolo, Frieza, King Cold, Android #17, and Android #18.
-Cell knew the abilities of every Z Fighter before actually fighting them.
-Cell was able to sneak his way past the majority of the Z Fighters and ultimately absorb Android #17 and Android #18.
-Cell had incredible self-knowledge, as he remained perfectly hidden until he was powerful enough to fight.
Fighting Skill:
At the time of Cell's existance, he was second best only to SSJ2 Gohan. He was able to outmatch every other hero and previous villan at the time. He is believed to have a greater fighting skill than almost all fighters, good or bad, and even ones in the future, because of the amount of people he gained cells from.
Techniques/Powers:
-Ki Flight: With this, Cell can fly while the level of Ki consumption by this is almost nothing. While flying at high speeds, Cell can skim massive areas of land in a few seconds.
-Ki Blasts: Energy waves that Cell can create using limited amounts of Ki. Ki Blasts have been shown to be able to destroy huge areas of land. These are often powered up and used in one big blast, or used in multiple, weaker blasts. Using these in multiple blasts is quite effective if the opponent is caught off guard.
-Kamehameha Wave: A massively powerful Ki beam with the potential to destroy the Solar System (while in his Super Perfect Form). He derived this technique from Goku.
-Spirit Bomb: Known to be Cell's most powerful attack. Although he never uses this technique, he states that he has the ability to use it. He derived this technique from Goku. -Death Beam: A narrow ki beam used for piercing through the opponent. He derived this technique from Frieza and/or King Cold.
-Self-Destruct: A technique used to blow himself up and take anybody even remotely close along with the explosion. This technique is stated to have the potential to destroy the solar system. Cell has the ability to regenerate after using this technique, and comes back even stronger because of his Saiyan cells. Dr. Gero implanted a bomb (or bomb sequence) inside of Cell so he could set it off at his will.
-Instant Transmission: A teleport technique that allows Cell to instantly appear anywhere in the universe after once tracking a ki signature in the desired location. With this technique, Cell exceeds the speed of light, as the technique is instant. He developed this technique after he used his self-destruct, and derived it from Goku.
-Solar Flare: An extreme amplification of the sun's rays. With this technique, Cell can blind the opponent for about 10 seconds. Cell is not affected by the brightness, and it is used as an escape technique. He derived this technique from Tien.
-Psychokinesis: The ability to move objects without touching them. It is believed that Cell could also use this technique as an attack, as Frieza blew up Krillin using this. He derived this technique from Frieza.
-Cell Juniors: With this technique, Cell is able to create mini forms of himself. When using this, he created 7, each one to take on a different Z Fighter. Their power seemed to be just slightly under SSJ Goku and SSJ Vegeta.
-1st Form: Cell's most basic form. This is his being after his larvae form. In this state, he had the power to take on Piccolo fused with Kami, and knew every attack except Instant Transmission and Cell Juniors.
-2nd Form: Cell's form after absorbing Android #17. In this state, his power was about equal to Ultra Super Saiyan Vegeta, but had greater speed. In this state, he knew every attack except Instant Transmission and Cell Juniors.
-Perfect Form: Cell's ultra-powered form after absorbing Android #18. He seems to have gained a great deal of intelligence in this form, and gains far more power compared to his transformation into his 2nd form. His power here is slightly under SSJ2 Gohan, and he gains the Cell Juniors ability.
-Super Perfect Form: Cell's last and more perfect form after self-destructing from his reverted 2nd form. He gains excessive power in this form because of his recovery using the Saiyan genes. In this form, his power slightly exceeds that of SSJ2 Gohan, and he learns Instant Transmission.
History:
Cell is known to have existed from early in Dragonball. His creator, Dr. Gero (Android #20), used tiny robot-insects to gain the cells of various fighters early in the series, and the insects continued to gain cells from other heroes and villans up until he was born. After finally gaining all the necessary cells and growing for long enough, Cell was released by Dr. Gero's computer and allowed to roam free, and reach his main goal; to attain perfection by absorbing Android #17 and Android #18. After sneaking past many Z Fighters, Cell was able to absorb Android #17. Later on, Vegeta and Krillin made foolish mistakes and ultimately allowed Cell to absorb Android #18, gaining Cell his perfect form. Soon after, Cell proposed the "Cell Games" to the Z Fighters, a tournament to decide the fate of planet Earth. After a hilarious loss by Hercule, Goku stepped into the ring and battled it out with Cell. As the match carried on, Goku realized that Cell was simply too strong for him, and that there was no point in fighting him. Gohan then stepped in to fight Cell, and gained the form of SSJ2 because of Cell's urge for a better battle. After Goku sacrificing himself to save Earth, and Cell self-destructing on North Kai's planet, Cell regenerated from a few cells (literally), and used Instant Transmission to teleport back to Earth. This time, no hold were barred, and every Z Fighter stepped in to take out Cell (except for Vegeta, who was too shaken by his belief that all was lost). Cell fended off the Z Fighters with ease, and had a huge Kamehameha struggle with a wounded Gohan. After Vegeta finally stepping in and blasting Cell with a Final Flash, Cell was distracted long enough for Gohan to finish him off, with spiritual help from Goku. Cell was then finally defeated, and every last cell in his being ceased to exist. However, the Z Fighters remember Cell as one of the most formidable opponents ever faced.
Notes:
-Cell did have the potential to destroy SSJ2 Gohan. It was because of Goku's telepathic assistance and Vegeta's last ditch Final Flash that SSJ2 Gohan was granted a victory.
