Cell (What If 6)

Cell, in this What If, comes from the Super Era, and after escaping Hell, he comes for revenge against Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan. It is shortly revealed to them, that he too has gained access to the Golden Form, like Frieza

Appearance
Upon escaping Hell, Cell looks identical to how he did before dying, in his Super Perfect Form.

In his Golden Form, Cell retains the overall appearance of his Perfect Form, however the green that covers majority of his body is instead replaced with the Golden color that comes with the Golden Form; with the darker green spots becoming a darker yellow. His appearance greatly resembles Cell What If 5 and Cell What If 13.

After regenerating from the God Kamehameha and the God Final Flash, Cell gains access to God Ki, granting him a blue and pink aura, with white lightning that crackles around him.

Personality
Being composed of the DNA of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, and King Cold, Cell has many similarities to all of his genetic make up. He has a very formal and proper tone; given to him by Frieza and King Cold, a love a fighting; given to him by Goku and Vegeta, and a strategic mind; given to him by Piccolo.

What If #6
Sometime between the Goku Black Arc and the Universe Survival Tournament Arc, Cell manages to escape Hell with the intention of getting his revenge. After ambushing Gohan, he quickly defeats him, before Goku and Vegeta come to Gohan's rescue. It's here when Cell transforms into Golden Cell, revealing that he had fully mastered the form; unlike Frieza's first attempt. Goku and Vegeta battle against Cell, who fights them off with no difficulty. After realizing that Cell has the advantage, Goku and Vegeta agree to fuse with the Potara Earrings, only for Cell to shatter them before they merge. As a last ditch effort, Goku and Vegeta strike Golden Cell together, using a combination of the God Kamehameha and the God Final Flash. Cell is believed to be dead, however, he manages to regenerate fully, now with access to God Ki absorbing the information similar to the way he absorbed Goku's Instant Transmission technique after self-destructing in the Cell Saga. After nearly killing both Goku and Vegeta, Cell reveals that he understood God Ki from watching Goku and Vegeta train from Hell. From there, Cell trained to access the Golden Form, then learned to harness God Ki in the same way that both Goku, Vegeta, and Goku Black had; seeing as all of them technically are apart of him. As a final-ditch-effort, Goku and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta, who manages to kill Cell with a Big Bang Kamehameha.

Power
In the [What-If Universe Official Power Scaling], Cell is ranked the following:


 * Rank 62 (Super Perfect Form + Post-Training)
 * Rank 26 (Golden Form + Post-Training)
 * Rank 20 (Golden Form + Godly-Ki Absorbed + Post-Zenkai)

This version of Cell is incredibly powerful, able to easily defeat the Goku and Vegeta of his time, and was only defeated by Gogeta. He also has the most unique version of as this Cell took full advantage of his time in Hell, and managed to access not only the Golden Form, but gain an understanding of God Ki. Despite all these things, according this to the [What-If Universe] Official Power Scaling, this is Cell is weakest Cell to date.

Trivia

 * This version fully states that he has only Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, and King Cold's DNA. This is interesting as some sources claim that Cell also has Gohan, Nappa, and Future Trunks' DNA, Cell's statement debunks this, however.


 * It is never explained how Cell escaped Hell, and it is not clear whether or not he has regained his body or not.
 * If Cell never regained his body, that would mean he was erased from existence by Gogeta Blue. This would also make him the first character to be fully erased from existence.
 * However, due to Cell's lack of a halo, it is likely he did regain his body at some point; but this was also never explained.
 * Cell is tied for the villain appearing in the most What Ifs (not counting cameos), with Goku Black.
 * However, unlike Black, each iteration of Cell, to date, are different versions of Cell, while Goku Black has been the same consistent character.
 * Cell is the first character to defeat every opponent in the title, but still be defeated. The second being Broly (What If #9).
