Editing Dr. Gero (section)

== Personality ==
Dr. Gero is a coldhearted individual, relentlessly pursuing his goals without letting anyone stand in his way, even resorting to kidnapping people for his experiments. He harbors a deep hatred for [[Goku]], stemming from Goku's defeat of the entire Red Ribbon Army. Gero has immense confidence in his technological prowess and intellect, believing that he or his creations will prevail, regardless of the odds. He trusts his creations with his life, convinced that they will respect him as their master now that he has "improved" them. However, he hesitates before releasing Androids 17 and 18, acknowledging the severe risks they pose to him due to their hatred.

Despite his ruthless nature, Gero is capable of affection, as demonstrated by his creation of [[Android 16]], whom he modeled after his deceased son. He deliberately made Android 16 gentle to avoid the risk of him being destroyed in battle, as Gero could not bear the thought of losing him. This likely explains why Gero chose not to activate Android 16 and did not discard him like the earlier android models, except for [[Android 8]].

In ''Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero'', it is suggested that the Red Ribbon Army warped Gero's mind, implying that he may have been a decent person at one time. Due to his insanity, Gero’s youngest son and daughter-in-law distanced themselves from him and kept their [[Dr. Hedo|own son]] away from his influence as well.
