Goku Black

Goku Black is a recurring character in the [What If] series. He first fought Future Gohan in What If #7, then teamed up with Baby Vegeta to fight Broly in What If #9 before fighting an Alternate version of Vegeta in the prequel of What If #9, What If #14.

Appearance
He looks similar to his Manga Counterpart. In What If #14, he is seen with a tail, though he ends up losing it near the end of the fight.

Personality
In terms of Personality, while he underestimates his foes (as shown in What If #14), he is still very cunning and knows a lot more about Saiyans than his Canon Counterparts. In order to make full use of Goku's body, he uses his time ring to travel to parallel worlds and fight opponents. He is also a good planner.

What If #7
In What #7, he ends up travelling to an alternate Future where Future Gohan is the one to survive instead of Future Trunks. At first, Goku Black charges up in order to signal any fighters in the area and gets the attention of Future Gohan. This then leads to a fight between the two, with both turning Super Saiyan a little bit after the fight begun. It eventually leads to Gohan revealing Super Saiyan 2, something he achieved after finding the corpse of Future Trunks, which he presumably used to kill the future androids. After more fighting, Goku Black reveals that he was the one to have killed Future Trunks in the first place, not the Androids, which made Future Gohan turn into a Super Saiyan 3. After being seemingly defeated by Gohan, Goku Black begins to talk to Gohan about how someone else will take his place while secretly getting a Senzu Bean out of his right hand. When Gohan realized what Goku Black was doing it was too late and Goku Black had gotten a Zenkai Boost. After tapping into God Ki once more, Goku Black attains Super Saiyan Rose. Goku Black and Gohan gets into a beam struggle, however, the Supreme Kai in training is too much and ultimately, Future Gohan is killed by a Kamehameha.

What If #14
In What If #14, Goku Black (w/ a tail somehow) ends up in an alternate version of Dragon Ball Super, where Vegeta had became to Super Saiyan God. At first, Goku Black doesn't realize this, but as the fight began to progress, Goku Black had decided to use Vegeta as his punching bag instead of Goku. Right before both Saiyans become Super Saiyans, Goku Black explains his origins and how he was almost killed by Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks (the ones from Canon). After a little bit, Goku Black stacks Kaio-Ken on Super Saiyan with Vegeta later responding with Super Saiyan God. Goku Black goes on to explain how he magaged to stack Kaio-Ken on top of Super Saiyan. However, he's confident he only needs Super Saiyan at the time. However, while tanking a blast from Vegeta, Goku Black transforms into a Super Saiyan 4. He further explains how he found a timeline that "showcased deeper understanding of Saiyan Folklore" and in order to fully adjust to his body, he'll have to use Super Saiyan 4. Goku Black eventually overpowers Vegeta, prompting Vegeta to transform into an Evolved State of Super Saiyan God, a form not even Goku Black knew existed. Vegeta begins to dominate the fight, eventually managing to cut Goku Black's tail off. This reverts Goku Black back into his base form, forcing him to tank a Final Explosion. While Vegeta won the fight, Goku Black suddenly reveals Super Saiyan Rose, with the pressure of the form shocking even Vegeta. Goku Black tells Vegeta that he should've cut his arm off instead and that he needs the zenkai the fight. Thanking Vegeta, Goku Black escapes with the time ring (He returns at the timeline where he came from and manages to kill Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks without the aid of his allies Future Zamasu due to the boost he got From his fight at Super Saiyan God Evolution Vegeta). In the After-Credits, the events right before What If #9 are shown.

What If #9
Having made his way to "that timeline", Black prompts Baby Vegeta to not hold back, and to finish off the young Goku; although, with some hesitance, Baby complies, killing Goku. With the Saiyan out of the way, the two begin to speak, with Black explaining that he knows of the timeline's events, as well as his his ideals, the two become allies. However, due to Goku Black's presence, as well as his battle power being far higher than the Goku of this timeline, Broly is awakened, as he managed to avoid the Sun and therefore his death, in this timeline. Broly tracks down "Kakarot" and immediately engages him as a Super Saiyan 3, a transformation he gained via the Zenkai from the Family Kamehameha. Despite his efforts, Broly is quickly cast aside by Black, only for the Legendary Saiyan to exploit the Moon, and becoming an Golden Ozaru. Now out of control, Black and Baby begin to dodge his attacks, before destroying the moon in order to force Broly to detransform. Unfortunately, this ultimately backfires, as once he regains control of himself, Broly becomes a Super Saiyan 4. After this, Baby and Black continue to battle Broly to no avail, despite several techniques; i.e. the Kaio-ken, the Revenge Death Ball, as well as the transformations Strongest Form 2 and Super Saiyan Rose. It is until Black realizes that Broly as exploited Zenkais to power up, not unlike the way he had before, is when Black uses his final trump card; the Potara Earrings. Due to their similar ideology, the two agree to fuse, becoming "Baby Vegito Black" and defeating Broly with ease.
