Brolly, he was born on the saiya-jin homeworld with Goku. Their cribs were placed next to each other. While Brolly was born with a power level of 10,000 and Goku had a meager power level of 2. When they were babies Goku managed to make Brolly sad and cry with Goku's persistent whining that wouldn't stop. This is what drove Brolly's anger towards Goku, Goten, any other dbz warrior and his love of being evil.
While Brolly was a baby, King Vegeta learned of this child of Paragus that was born with amazing power for a child. King Vegeta had both Paragus and Brolly "thrown away" like trash. When Freeza destroyed the planet, Brolly used his amazing power to protect both himself and Paragus from the destruction.
During Brolly's childhood Brolly became increasingly difficult to control, Brolly's power was greater than ever imagined. Paragus had a scientist from a world he conquered create a devise to control Brolly, similar to a remote control of sorts. When Paragus essentially had this great power at his control, he created a "New Planet Vegeta" in an attempt to draw the Saiyan Prince(Vegeta) to the new world where Paragus would have his revenge on King Vegeta by killing his son Vegeta by either the comet that was heading towards the new planet or by Brolly himself. The plan did not work completely as planned and Paragus told Vegeta of the Legendary Super Saiya-jin who was near the new world that was destroying entire galaxies. This is what made Vegeta go to the new world.
The rest of Paragus's plan seemed to be working accordingly, but the arrival of Goku at the new world shortly after Vegeta caused problems. Seeing Goku, drove Brolly's anger and eventually Brolly could not be controlled by Paragus 's device and his plan was revealed to the saiya-jins. Paragus tried to escape from the planet before it's eminent destruction but Brolly destroyed his space pod, with Paragus in it, killing him.
Through a very long and rigorous fight, Goku did finally defeat Brolly in movie 8 with the help of the others (Piccolo, Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta). Brolly returns in Movie 10, somehow he survived Goku's deathblow and managed to get to another space pod, this space pod lands on earth. There is another battle, Goten and Gohan use a large Kame-hame-ha to defeat Brolly. At first there is no effect but Goku's spirit falls from the clouds and gives them emotional support as well as joining in on the Kame-hame-ha which does destroy Brolly. Finally he returns one last time in movie 11, he is cloned and is once again destroyed by Chibi (young non-future) Trunks and Goten.
The Ginyu Force is Freeza's own special task force. They are the absolute best of the best in the known universe. Consisting of five essential members. Burter, a tall blue fish form character who is supposed to be one of the fastest creatures in the universe. Recoome, the red head and bulky character who holds an incredible amount of strength and power. Guldo, the small green frog-like character who has the ability to freeze time. Jeice, who is red with white hair and seems to have a fair amount of power in every aspect instead of it being completely in an individual trait. Finally, Ginyu, the purple and horned leader of the Ginyu Force who is not only extremely powerful but also has the ability to switch bodies with another individual.
The Ginyu Force's history is short but important. Freeza sends for them to collect the Dragonballs which all his other henchmen failed to do. The Ginyu Force caught up with Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin before they were able to make their wish. Ginyu took the dragonballs back to Freeza's spaceship from there Vegeta, Gohan, and Krillin were forced to face the remaining four members. First Gohan and Krillin took on Guldo and failed to win, Vegeta came to their rescue and killed Guldo. Then Vegeta took on Recoome with valiant effort but without succeeding, Gohan stepped in but also failed to bring him down but had his neck broken by Recoome. Luckily Goku's ship landed just shortly after this happened. Goku defeated Recoome and Burter with a single attack on each of them. Jeice became frightened and whent to get Captain Ginyu.
After getting Captain Ginyu, he and Jeice returned. Krillin and Gohan took off and Vegeta abandoned Goku just before the fight. Ginyu fought Goku and he seemed to have the advantage, but Ginyu knew Goku was hiding his true power. He convinced Goku to show it, but from doing this it revealed Goku was much stronger than Ginyu. Ginyu knowing winning was impossible, intentionally hurt himself severely. He held out his arms, screamed "CHANGE!" and switched bodies with Goku. Ginyu, then in Goku's body took off for Freeza's spaceship.
Upon returning, Ginyu and Jeice found Krillin and Gohan who had found the dragonballs. After realizing that the man in Goku's body was not Goku, Krillin and Gohan reluctantly fought with Ginyu who had not adjusted to the change of bodies and his power level was relatively low. As his power slowly increased Goku arrived in Ginyu's old body and helped fight. Vegeta began and ended a fight with Jeice, then decided to fight with Ginyu in Goku's body. Vegeta attacked and easily beat Ginyu, Ginyu made an attempt to switch to Vegeta's body but Goku in Ginyu's body jumped in the way and therefore both were back to their original selves. Ginyu now restored to his own body was once again attacked and beat up by Vegeta. Ginyu made one last try to switch bodies with Vegeta but Goku through a namekian frog in the way. Ginyu then became the frog and the frog became Ginyu.
That for the most part ended the Ginyu Force legacy, Ginyu did however make one final attempt to get to a stronger body. He be-friend Bulma while Goku and Freeza's fight was going on. Bulma created a device to allow her new frog friend to talk. Ginyu could then scream "CHANGE!" switching bodies with Bulma. Ginyu in Bulma's body whent to the battlefield, finding Piccolo there he began to do his change sequence but, Gohan discovered it was not really Bulma, threw the frog that the real Bulma was inhabiting, directly into the path between Piccolo and Ginyu. Ginyu was then changed back into a frog and Bulma was herself again. Finally the Ginyu Force members do make some short appearances in the Dragon Ball Z series while in the afterlife.
Cell, one of Dr. Gero's greatest creations. He is a creature who was formed from the genetic material of the most powerful warriors known at the time of his creation. Such warriors are Goku, Vegeta, Freeza, King Kold, Piccolo, and many more. Because of the fact he was formed from these fighters he is also able to do their moves such as; Goku's Kame-hame-ha, Piccolo's regeneration ability and his Makkankosappo (special beam cannon), Tienshinhan's Taioken (solar flare), etc. Making him the ultimate fighting machine. Please stop reading here if you do not want to spoil the episodes for yourself.
Cell actually didn't come from the DBZ timeline that is shown because the lab the un-developed cell was in became destroyed, he didnt even come from Future Trunks timeline (the Future Trunks that we know of), he came from a completely different timeline where Trunks beat the androids. In this timeline this was a big problem for Cell because he needed to absorb Android #17 and #18 in order to become "Perfect" and be the ultimate fighting machine. He killed Trunks and took the time machine that Trunks used in his time line (it's honestly too difficult to explain). Turning himself back to a previous state in his development (an egg like form) so he could fit in the machine, he traveled back in time to the timeline that we know of to a few years before Trunks arrival.
Cell gave re-birth to himself over time and hatched. He quickly brought himself to the form he was at before the time travel. The Z Warriors discovered the remnant shell(s) and were very confused. Cell began going to various places around the country/world causing panic by taking finding people and by using his tail he absorbs their life energy to become stronger. Piccolo after merging with Kami found Cell by accident from sensing Goku's ki (ki means energy) and many other Z Warriors ki all in the same spot. After fighting a little while with Piccolo, Cell learned how much stronger Piccolo was than himself. He knew winning was impossible and used a Taioken (solar flare) to escape. Now for any other enemy in DBZ before this point it wouldn't of worked but Cell could lower his ki just like any other DBZ character making him difficult to find and catch. So Cell continued on his path of destruction and whent to more cities gathering extra energy.
When Cell learned (sensed) Piccolo's fight with Android #17 he quickly whent to the battle where he easily beat both Piccolo and #17 (he was much stronger now because of all the people he absorbed). Cell absorbed Android #17 and transformed to a new level of power and physical appearance (his second stage). Tienshinhan happened to be there and used a force blow attack (the name eludes me so if someone out there reading this remembers the name of the attack please contact me). The attack essentially detains Cell for Android #16 and #18 to escape from Cell so #18 wont be absorbed. Goku recently recovered knows he can't fight Cell but he can't wait for Trunks and Vegeta to leave the room of spirit and time, Goku teleports himself there and gets Tien and Piccolo out and back to Kami's tower.
Cell continued to search for #18 but after Vegeta and Trunks got out of the room of spirit and time he stopped to fight Vegeta. Vegeta easily beat him down but Cell convinced Vegeta to let him absorb #18. Cell whent into his "Perfect Form" and became extremely poweful. He fought Vegeta again and knocked him out. Trunks too tried to fight Cell but was unsuccessful. Since Cell was now in his Perfect Form it was all just a game to him....Litterally and set up the Cell games. He gave all the warriors time to train while he waited.
Goku tried very hard to defeat Cell at the games and even though with all his training Goku was unable to win. Goku transfered the fight over to his son, Gohan. Gohan tried hard to fight but was on un-equal ground with Cell. When Cell learned of Gohan's possible hidden power through anger he wanted to trigger it so he released the "Cell Jr's" from his body and had them attack the Z Warriors and told them to kill them if they wanted. When #16's android's head was thrown over to where Gohan was by Mr. Satan, #16 asked Gohan to protect the animals etc. that he loved so much. Cell walked over and crushed the head of #16. Pushing Gohan two steps over the edge.
Gohan whent Super Saiya-jin level two and destroyed the Cell Jr.'s. Gohan fought Cell and when he learned he couldnt defeat Gohan so he decided to self destruct. When all looked hopeless Goku remembered his teleportation ability and transported Cell away from the earth and Goku was killed and it appeared as though it killed Cell also. But one of Cell's cell's(sounds wierd but it's true) survived and Cell returned to earth even stronger than he was before. Nevertheless, Cell was defeated by Gohan in a large Kame-hame-ha battle. Concluding the Cell Saga which is considered to be one of the best if not THE best saga in DBZ with it's constant twists of the plot line, keeping the viewers interested.
His real name is Kakaroto. He discovered that from his brother Radditz which is also the first time he learned that he is a Saiyajin. Not only is he a great warrior, but also a spectacular leader. Throughout the entire series, he had inspired many, including both of his sons, Gohan and Goten and especially Vegeta. He is a diligent and hardworking person who would never fail to take on new challenges. Even though he had became the most powerful warrior in the universe by defeating Freeza, he still strive to become better. After Future Trunks had foretold the arrival of the cyborgs and Dr. Gero. He could have opted for the easy path by getting to Dr. Gero before the cyborgs were created, but he chose to challenge himself instead by preparing for their arrival.
Gokus unfaltering spirit and confidence is remarkable. After he forfeited the battle against Cell, no one, not even Gohan himself had the confidence to defeat Cell. Goku was the only one who had confidence in Gohan and followed through all the way to the end, even after Gohan was seriously injured and lost the will to fight. He never quits under any circumstance. Even after everyone gave up, his mind never stopped looking for solutions. Seconds before Cell was about to explode and destroy Earth, Goku realized he could teleport Cell to another location.
His leadership and inspiration was proved pivotal as Future Trunks unveiled the grim story of his time where Goku died of a rare heart disease and everyone except for Trunks were killed. The most tragic of all was that Gohans tremendous talent was never realized as he died under the hands of #17.
After the Dragon Ball Warriors initial encounter with #17 and #18 and subsequently Cell, Goku realized that he must transcend the Super Saiyajin to stand a chance against the cyborgs. Under his guidance, an intensive training program in the "Time Room" was launched. During that time, he trained Gohan for the first time and fully unleashed Gohan's potential.
The one person he had inspired most throughout the series was Vegeta. Vegeta entered the story as as an evil individual who would find any means necessary to satisfy his hunger for power who was also too proud to accept defeat. Through Gokus inspiration, Vegeta slowly transformed into a good hearted person who accepted himself. During Gokus final battle with Majin Buu, he openly accepted that he was no match for neither Buu nor Goku and willing to participate in the sidelines (by gathering energy for Gokus final strike) rather than the actual fight.  
He is one of the characters who was originally evil, but through series of unexpected events, the "evil" in him was slowly washed away as Piccolo took different forms.
Piccolo is the offspring of Daimon, who was the pure "evil" which separated from Kami-sama as another body. Piccolo and Kami-sama is one person in two bodies. If one of them die, both will die. When Daimon was killed by Son Goku, he vowed that his offspring Piccolo will avenge him. Thus, Piccolo's character is not just pure "evil" the way Daimon is. He is simply focused on destroying Son Goku. The two of them first met in the Budokai.
With the arrival of Raditz, Piccolo found himself an unwilling partner of Son Goku and together defeated Raditz. When he learned that two more poweful Saiyajin will avenge Raditz, Piccolo only found himself even more unwillingly on Goku's side by volunteering to train his Son, Gohan to become a warrior to fight against the Saiyajin. Piccolo's militant training style made Gohan a stronger person, gradually unleashing Gohan's tremendous talent. During the time he spent with Gohan, Piccolo began to develop love and care for Gohan, which was fully realized when he sacrificed his life for Gohan in the battle against Nappa. His love and care for Gohan is readily apparent throughout the Freeza and Cell series.
