Dr. Gero

A scientist that works for the Red Ribbon Army. He created Android 16 for the sole purpose of destroying Goku, Android 17 and Android 18 for making Cell perfect, and Android 20 (himself) to make himself immortal. He also creates android 19 to serve him, as he is easier to control than the others. He also created Hell Fighter 17, and subsequently Super Android 17. He is ultimately killed by his creations after threatening to use the emergency suspension controller on 17 and 18. His ultimate achievement is Cell, and it was implied that his original reason for being created was to destroy the entire universe, which he could have done if things had not played out the way the did in the series. He could simply blow himself up every time someone stronger than him appears.

While in his android form, he refers to himself in the third person as to conceal his true identity. Is name is pronounced "Doctor Jero".

Dr. Gero: I cleared the area of innocents, in accordance with your wishes. Do you disagree with my methods?

Puar

A shape-shifting cat in the dragonball universe, and best friend of Yamcha. He went to shape-shifting school with Oolong, and can hold his form for more than 5 minutes (unlike Oolong).

Puar: Only a heartless soul would run and leave his friends behind. We're in this together.

Tien Shinhan

Tien's full name, a pupil of Master Shen, the crane hermit. He starts off as a bad guy but begins to become good after Master Roshi's lecture, during his fight with Jackie Chun (Roshi in disguise). He is chiaotzu's best friend. He was taught how to fight by Mercenary Tao. He refers to Master Roshi as Master, after defeating Tao, and abandoning his loyalty to Master Shen. Chiaotzu follows suit and also becomes good.

Tien Shinhan is arguably the strongest full blooded human on Earth in Dragon Ball Z. While it has been shown that he is stronger than Yamcha, it has never been further explained who is the strongest out of Tien and Krillin after Tien receives King Kai's training and Krillin receives the Namek Elder's unlock potential boost.

In the English Dub, Tien is the only character, aside from Goku (Son), and Bulma's (Brief) family, to have an official last name stated.

Hercule

Used in place of Mr. Satan in the dragonball universe for censorship purposes. He became the world martial arts champion while the Z fighters were off doing other things. He is partially responsible for the defeat of Cell and Majin Buu, but instead of being modest he takes full credit for their defeat. He is the (overprotective) father of Videl.

Along with the Supreme Kai, Pan, Fortuneteller Baba, and Uub, Mr. Satan is one of the only characters out of the main cast who is never killed during the course of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT.

Although weak compared to the majority of the cast, Mr. Satan is a skilled martial artist, and his strength exceeds that of most humans.

Akira Toriyama revealed in the Super Exciting Guide interview that Hercule first name is Mark (マーク, Maaku), a rough anagram of Akuma, which means "Devil" or "Demon" in Japanese, keeping in line with his family's naming scheme.

# Family
Videl's Mother (Ex-Wife)
# Videl (Daughter)
# Gohan (Son-in-Law)
# Pan (Granddaughter)
# Goku Jr. (Great-Great-Grandson)

Mr. Satan

The world martial arts champion from Dragonball, he becomes the champion easily to due none of the z fighters entering the tournament at the time. Android 18 let's him win the final battle in exchange for the prize money and another 10 million zeni.

In the fight between Vegito and Super Buu, Mr. Satan is able to see the fighters while they move and fight, while unable to sense energy, however Gohan, during the Saibaman struggle, could not see the fights until he concentrated on their energy, and not using his eyes. This is another plothole of the series.

Almost every time Mr. Satan has to come to the ring in the World Martial Arts Tournament, he usually ends up hurting himself, then he is forced to lie to the crowd saying that he was kidding around in order to keep his reputation.
