King Cold

King Cold is a villain in the Dragon Ball Z series, and the father of both Frieza and Cooler. He serves as the secondary antagonist of the Trunks Saga.

He was voiced by Jason Douglas.

APPEARANCE
King Cold ranks among the tallest villains in the Dragon Balluniverse, and his physical appearance is very similar to his sons, looking nearly identical to Freeza's second form. He is well muscled and his skin is darker than Freeza's, but lighter than Cooler's. He wears the standard Battle Armor over his chest, along with an indigo cape. The "dome" on his head is colored dark blue (though it sometimes appears dark teal in the anime), along with his horns that have lines on it. Despite the fact that both of his sons have demonstrated the ability to transform, it is unknown if King Cold has the ability to change shape as well.

PERSONALITY
King Cold has a calm and high-class attitude with elegant mannerisms. Like his son Frieza, he displays a great deal of arrogance and impatience. However, he also has a stern attitude towards his son. He seems to display a high level of concern for his family, though he quickly becomes annoyed with how long it takes Freeza to finish off an opponent. King Cold is not as reckless as his son as shown when mecha-Freeza uses the Death Blaster technique on Future Trunks; leaving King Cold startled that Freeza is attempting to use the attack - remarking "You'll destroy us all!" when firing it a second time and consuls Freeza that destroying the planet will not serve his revenge. Despite his alleged high concern for his family, he seems to have no qualms for attempting to replace family members if they are killed with the person who killed them. This was evidenced by his attempting to get Future Trunks to join him after the latter killed Freeza, although this could have been a lie as he believed that fighting Trunks was not to his advantage (at least as long as he was in possession of his sword).

HISTORY
In the anime Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai, King Cold is the father of Freeza and Cooler. He stands much taller than Freeza, and is also believed to be more powerful.
