Editing King Vegeta (section)

==Biography:==

===Background:===
King Vegeta emerged as a key leader during the Saiyan-Tuffle war, rallying his people against the Tuffles on Planet Plant. After a decade-long conflict ending in Age 730, the planet was renamed Planet Vegeta in his honor. His intelligence and cunning were recognized even by his enemies, like Dr. Lychee, who compared him to the Tuffles in terms of strategic thinking.

After the war, King Vegeta discovered the Demon Realm planet, which he used for secret training.<ref>''Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X'', 2017</ref> Shortly thereafter, the Saiyans came into contact with Frieza, who provided them with advanced technology in exchange for their allegiance. Despite his reluctance, King Vegeta submitted to Frieza, knowing that the Saiyans could not defeat the powerful tyrant.

In Age 731, King Vegeta married an unnamed female Saiyan, likely his queen, and fathered two sons: Prince Vegeta, born in Age 732, and Tarble. Prince Vegeta was later given to Frieza under unknown circumstances, although King Vegeta planned to rebel before letting Frieza fully control his son. Tarble, who lacked the fighting spirit of a Saiyan, was sent away from Planet Vegeta as an infant, saving him from Frieza's grasp.

Realizing that Frieza had no further use for the Saiyans, King Vegeta decided to rebel against his oppression and retrieve his son. He led an assault on Frieza's capital ship with his royal guard. However, his guards were too terrified to assist him, leaving King Vegeta to face Frieza alone. Frieza effortlessly dodged King Vegeta's attack and killed him with a single punch, followed by the massacre of the Saiyan elites who had accompanied him.

King Vegeta is mentioned by Frieza, who recalls defeating him effortlessly during his attack on Planet Vegeta. In a flashback, it is shown that King Vegeta attempted to battle Frieza but was easily overpowered. Vegeta later reveals that he surpassed his father in strength even as a child. During Goku's battle with Frieza on Namek, King Vegeta appears in a vision alongside Vegeta and Bardock, urging Goku not to give up and to defeat Frieza for the Saiyan race.

===Dragon Ball Super:===

===God of Destruction Beerus Saga :===
King Vegeta once encountered Beerus, the God of Destruction, and was mistreated by him for keeping the most comfortable pillow for himself after Beerus had ordered him to find it. Beerus admonished him for his actions but spared King Vegeta, his son, and the Saiyans after King Vegeta willingly submitted to punishment. This incident led Beerus to develop a poor opinion of King Vegeta and the Saiyans, ultimately influencing his suggestion to Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta.

Years later, during a flashback, Vegeta recalls seeing his father submit to Beerus. Vegeta stands up for his father and attacks Beerus, who easily paralyzes him but acknowledges Vegeta's potential due to his respect for his father.

===Broly:===
When King Cold retires and introduces Frieza as his successor on Planet Vegeta, King Vegeta reluctantly greets them and kneels before Frieza. Later, he visits his son, Prince Vegeta, in his incubator and is proud of his potential. However, upon noticing the baby [[Broly (Dragon Ball Super)|Broly]] and learning of his high power level, King Vegeta decides to banish Broly to the remote planet Vampa, fearing the threat he could pose to the royal family. Paragus confronts King Vegeta about this decision, but the king remains resolute.

===Baby Saga (Dragon Ball GT):===
King Vegeta appears in a flashback when [[Baby]] explains the Saiyan-Tuffle War to Vegeta. He is shown leading the Saiyans and transforming into a Great Ape during the war.

====Cooler's Revenge:====
King Vegeta is mentioned in the prologue of the Funimation dub, where [[Cooler]] criticizes Frieza for being so blinded by arrogance that he failed to notice a space pod escaping Planet Vegeta. Cooler remarks that the pod could have just as easily contained King Vegeta instead of Kakarot.

====Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan:====
In Age 737, King Vegeta orders the execution of newborn [[Broly (Dragon Ball Z)|Broly]] due to his extraordinarily high power level of 10,000, viewing it as a threat to the royal family. [[Paragus (Dragon Ball Z)|Paragus]], Broly's father, tries to intervene but is blasted by King Vegeta and left for dead along with his son. This event sparks Paragus and Broly's vendetta against the royal family, leading Paragus to seek revenge through Broly after King Vegeta's death at the hands of Frieza.

====Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans====
King Vegeta makes a brief appearance during the Destron Gas incident in West City. When the Z-Fighters investigate the source of the gas, Vegeta explains that the Destron Gas was likely created by surviving Tuffles. In a flashback, King Vegeta is shown as Vegeta recounts the Saiyan-Tuffle war, explaining that the Tuffles were the only ones capable of making such a device and gas. Vegeta suggests that the Tuffles' intention was to use the Destron Gas to exact revenge by killing off the remaining Saiyans on Earth, motivated by their defeat in the conflict led by King Vegeta many years ago.

====Battle of Gods:====
King Vegeta appears briefly in a flashback during "Battle of Gods." He is shown kneeling before Beerus, with the God of Destruction's foot on his head, while Beerus enjoys a meal prepared by the king. Prince Vegeta watches silently nearby as his father submits to Beerus.
