Vegeta

The section of Vegeta Growing Up.

Always receiving second place behind Son Goku, Vegeta constantly trains himself to become stronger than him and be known as the strongest overall.

At an early age, Vegeta showed promising skills. Not only was he the prince of the Saiya-jins, but he was also one of the very strongest. He was known to most likely be a super Saiya-jin, after they threw Brolly out. He came to Earth to find the Dragon Balls and wish for immortality, but found another Saiya-jin, Kakarotto, was stronger. He would forever train his hardest, to become stronger than him, and be the best.

While training in space, Vegeta achieved the level of super Saiya-jin. It was a great victory, for the proud Saiya-jin prince. He left Earth, a Saiya-jin. He returned, an invincible warrior. Beaten and bruised, he finally recovered, and trained harder still, for the fight of the Androids.

Super Saiya-jin Number 2 Stage
From Book Thirty Two On

After seeing for himself, that the Androids were too strong, Vegeta went into the Room of Spirit and Time, and trained ever so hard, so he, himself, could achieve a form beyond that of a super Saiya-jin. After only two months, he did it. When he emerged from the room, he fought Cell, and could have defeated him them, but his own curiosity and strength, wouldn't save him from Cell's perfect form.
