Ahem. Anyway, all of you DragonBall Z fans know about Vegeta. If you don't then...are you sure you'd watched DBZ? He's not just standing there for show, ya know! He IS alive! Anyway. (Not to insult anyone)
Prince Vegeta is the son of King Vegeta. (I think all of the males in that line were named Vegeta) Who his mother is, no one knows. But Vegeta (the planet, which shares that name) was taken over by Frieza, this pint-sized jerk who looks and talks like a girl. He made all of the planet's inhabitants do his bidding and take over other worlds. This was pretty easy, considering the Saiyans were mercinaries and, at the sight of the full moon, they could turn into huge ape-like creatures known as Oozaru. Once in that stage, they were completely unstoppable.
Here's an interesting note about the Oozaru stage. The transformed Saiyan was unstoppable, but when they returned to their true form, when the moon was no longer in the sky, they would not be able to remember anything about being Oozaru. And frankly, they didn't care. They got their job done. But (and this is quite interesting) in the episode of DBZ, when Vegeta goes Oozaru to fight Goku (since the Earth's moon had been destroyed by Piccolo, Vegeta had to create artificial moonlight), Vegeta was able to speak in Oozaru form. And, apparently, he could remember everything. So I'm guessing that either there was an ENORMOUS plothole there, (In DBZ, plotholes are insanely abundant) or else Vegeta is just a special case.
Now, back to the story. Frieza killed Vegeta's dad, and blew up the planet. And all of the Saiyan race, except for four, who were off-planet at the time, were killed. Vegeta was one of those. You could say that Frieza spared him, because he had sent him out on a mission when he destroyed the planet. However, he said that an asteroid had caused the planet's destruction.
Several years later, Vegeta and his Saiyan lackey, Nappa, recieved a message from Raditz, the brother of Kakurat (Goku). It told them of the Dragon Balls on Planet Earth, and how they could grand one wish. Vegeta, being his greedly little self, wanted immortality. So he and Nappa went to Earth to cause a little chaos. Goku beat the living snot out of both of them.
Eventually, Vegeta became a good guy. This occurred when they went to the planet Namek (where Piccolo and Kami are from) to face off against Frieza. Frieza killed Vegeta, but he was later wished back by the DragonBalls.
As the time passes, Vegeta hooks up with Bulma, marries her, and they have a kid named Trunks. Why? Beats me. But Trunks is pretty cool!
Okay. You want more embarassment? Well, here!! Vegeta is one more of those few animated characters I find too hot to resist. I don't know what it is. Ah, who cares?? *L* And as for Bulma....huh? Who is she? Sorry, never heard of her. *evil grin*
