Cell

The greatest of Dr. Gero's creations, manufactured using DNA from all the great fighters (i.e., Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta..
you get the idea.  He begins in an imperfect form and then absorbs Androids 17 and 18 to fully transform.  Gohan gets
him in the end.

Frieza

Frieza is a villian with an ego bigger than Vegeta and who's only purpose is to destroy.  He is left for dead after
battling Goku on Namek.  Frieza kills Krillin, sending Goku into a rage and causing his Super-Saya-Jin transformation
for the very first time.  Frieza later appears on Earth, after being restored by his father, King Cold, where he is sliced
in two by the future version of Trunks.

Dr. Gero

The creator of the Red Ribbon Army in the original Dragon Ball, Dr. Gero has sworn vengence against Goku for destroying
his army.  He creates Androids (16, 17, 18, 19 and himself, 20) to kill Goku and the rest of the planet's inhabitants.  He
is destroyed by Androids 17 and 18 when they no longer desire to follow his commands.

Majin Buu

A big pink guy, Majin Buu was created by an evil sorcerer, Bibi-Dee and then put into a dormant state after Bibi-Dee
discovered he couldn't control him.  Baba-Dee (the son), resurrects Majin Buu and releases him on Earth.  Hercule (aka
Mr. Satan) convinces Buu that destruction is bad and Buu is actually about to turn over a new leaf.  Until, that is, some
idiots kill Buu's dog, sending Buu into a rage.  Evil Buu separates from Good Buu and the battle ensues.  Evil Buu wins,
eating Good Buu and transforming into Super Buu.  After destroying pretty much every earthling, Buu seeks out Gotenks
and ultimately absorbs him as well.  Buu is finally killed by Goku.

Baba-Dee

The son of Bibi-Dee, Baba-Dee is an evil sorcerer (like father, like son) who revives Majin Buu to destroy the Earth.  He
is eventually killed by Buu who is tired of taking orders.

Captain Ginyu

The leader of the Ginyu Force, Captain Ginyu is one of Frieza's henchmen and has the ability to "switch" bodies with
his opponent.  After pulling this trick on Goku, he tries to switch again with Vegeta.  But Goku throws a frog into the
mix, and Ginyu suddenly finds himself small and green.
