Editing King Cold (section)

===Background===
Frieza's father, King Cold, is a mutant with an exceptionally high power level, which is why both he and his son Frieza stand out among their race in terms of their extraordinary strength and cruelty. This mutation sets them apart as the only ones in their race to display such formidable power in the series. While King Cold is aware of the legendary power of the Super Saiyans, he does not fear it as much as Frieza, as he is confident that no one could pose a real threat to him or his clan. One of King Cold's elite soldiers was Caluppa.

In ''Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge'', it is revealed that King Cold was an abusive parent to his eldest son, Cooler (at least from Cooler's perspective), while he spoiled Frieza, contributing to Frieza's arrogance. King Cold had also heard of Majin Buu and God of Destruction Beerus and specifically warned Frieza never to challenge these two beings.

At some point, King Cold and his army traveled to Planet Vegeta to inform the Saiyans of his retirement and that they would henceforth serve his son, Frieza.
