Android 17



Android 17 is a cyborg created by Dr. Gero and programmed with a mission to destroy Goku. Before 17 and 18 could do this, 17 was absorbed by Cell, and later 18 was also. Cell is eventually destroyed, with 17 going with him. He later appears at the end of the Buu saga after all the Z fighters wished back everyone destroyed by Cell. He gives his energy to Goku to make a Spirit Bomb, and forces a couple of others to give their energy as well. Android 17 also appears in the GT saga. Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu create Artificial 17. Android 17 is taken over by the fake 17 in hell through some kind of innovation of the two doctors. Super 17 results, and would have killed... well... everyone, except he couldn't attack 18 because parts of the good Android 17 still had control. When Goku and the gang learned that they couldn't defeat him in hand to hand combat, they devised a plan. Piccolo opened the gates of hell, letting Goku out to defeat Super 17. Unfortuntely, Piccolo became trapped there, but it was a sacrifice he was willing to make. Android 17 is kind of like Android 18's brother.
