Personality
"I don't care about my planet, my friends, my parents... I just regret having been a slave all my life without realizing it! "
Vegeta, after realizing that he was acting as a slave of Freezer.
We don't know if the author planned to soften him or if he was just an enemy among many others. He quickly became Son Goku's main rival, overshadowing Ten Shin Han, and much later, Piccolo. Unlike Son Goku, Vegeta is particularly radical and does not hesitate to kill. Whatever the part of the manga, his goal is above all to surpass Son Gokû, whom he considers as inferior to him by pure pride.
The popularity of the character will not stop growing among the fans. He is the perfect incarnation of the anti-hero with a certain class. The author will make his defeats more and more tasty. Indeed, when Cell gets his perfect body, Vegeta is quickly swept away. However, the most emblematic scene for the fans is clearly not Cell's last move, but the Final Flash sequence, a new and extremely powerful technique that makes Cell waver for a few moments. This passage has become cult, whatever the medium.
The same is true when Majin Boo is about to kill the prince. Vegeta, for the first time in his life, is decided to finish to save his family and Son Goku, it is the first time that Vegeta does not fight for himself, marking an important evolution for the character. It is a very strong image of this character, showing that Akira Toriyama has produced a new effect on him without denying his original nature.
Vegeta is present in the movies from the 6th, where he is on a perfect equal footing with his rival. The director Shigeyasu Yamauchi manages to give a new tone to the character when Vegeta sees for the first time the Legendary Super Saiyan that his father talked about so much. Vegeta is then stunned by his nature of "pure" Saiyan according to Paragus (DBZ).
The climax of his rivalry will be reached when he merges with Son Goku, when Majin Boo (evil) is about to defeat all his opponents. It will be the same in the movie featuring Janemba. Vegeta will have to put his pride aside to counter the most extreme threats.
At the time of his first appearance, Vegeta is a small but well built man. His height increases towards the end of the manga without explanation and becomes medium height. He has a dull complexion, an oval head, black eyes, black eyebrows almost always frowned, and a rather long black hair, spiky. Throughout the series, he wears blue tight-fitting outfits, often accompanied by different armors, but we will also see him wearing, in some passages of the series and the manga, a pink shirt stamped "Badman" with yellow slim-fit shoes at the time of Freezer's arrival on Earth.
Note that throughout the storyline, Vegeta is less and less protected by the different models of armor to end up with only the suit during the Saga of Majin Boo. Although in Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta will take back the armor he wore during the Saga of Cell.
In Dragon Ball Super, the evolution of the character is at its peak, although he often brings out his proud side, unlike in Dragon Ball GT. His relationship with Bulma has become even more loving, to the point that he got angry with Beerus when he feared him. He also learned to fear his temper and avoid making Bulma angry. He became a true family man and protector, as shown in his visions when he felt the defeat approaching against Jiren, Vegeta immediately thought of Bulma, Trunks, Bra and Cabba, his student. The same is true for Dragon Ball GT, although in this series, the pride of the prince is much less pronounced than in Super.

History
Past
Vegeta was born at the age of 732, son of King Vegeta, the ruler of the Saiyan race. But while he was still a child, his home planet was destroyed by Freezer, wiping out most of his people. Vegeta, along with Nappa and Raditz, remained Freezer's soldiers, but the prince didn't like having to do so, as he was certain that Freezer was the one who had killed his people. Despite this, he served under him to ensure that he would one day become strong enough to defeat him and because he was pragmatic enough to know that he had a chance but to serve him at the time.
Saga Saiyan :
Vegeta first appeared in the Saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z. Vegeta is the prince of all Saiyans, and after having their planet destroyed, Raditz goes to Earth to find his younger brother Goku. After they fight him, Piccolo tells Raditz about the dragon balls and explains that if you collect them all, you receive a wish. This statement is passed on to Vegeta and Nappa who set off for Earth. Vegeta wants to make a wish for immortality with the Dragon Balls. When Nappa suggests bringing Raditz back, Vegeta refuses, considering Raditz a disgrace to their race. However, it takes them a year to reach the planet Earth, giving Goku and company time to train. When they arrive, Goku is still dead from the battle with Raditz, so Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha must keep the two Saiyans at bay. At the beginning, Vegeta creates the Saibamen, green plant fighters who have the same power level as Raditz. One of them kills Yamcha, while the others are defeated. Nappa then starts to fight, and despite all their training, Nappa is stronger than all of them, and manages to cut off one of Tien's hands. However, thanks to Nappa's arrogant nature and the Z Fighter's teamwork, they manage to put him on the ropes several times.
Chaiotzu blows himself up on Nappa's back hoping to kill him, but it doesn't work. Vegeta sits back and watches it all, and Nappa targets Gohan. Vegeta offers the Z fighters three hours for Goku to show up. Nappa first tries to kill them, but gives in after Vegeta blames him for not following his orders, leading Piccolo to realize that Vegeta is the stronger of the two. Three hours later, after Goku fails to show up, they continue their attack.
The Z Fighters, still have them with them, even grabbing Nappa's tail at one point. However, Vegeta reveals that unlike most of their race, they were smart enough to train their tails to be less sensitive. Later, Vegeta observes that Gohan, despite his aversion to fighting, briefly becomes powerful enough to do some damage to Nappa.
Nappa sends an explosion, and Gohan, paralyzed by fear, is saved when Piccolo jumps in front of the explosion. Goku soon arrives, and makes quick work of Nappa. Disgusted by his servant's failure, Vegeta reaches out to Nappa before throwing him into the air and blowing him up. Then Goku confronts Vegeta in a showdown.
Vegeta then goes head to head with Goku in a wasteland, so that Goku can avoid any unnecessary losses. At first, the lower class is outclassed by Vegeta's power and experience before taking over using Kaio Ken. Vegeta then tried to finish off Goku with his Galick Gun, but Goku sent a wave of Kamehameha to keep the Galick Gun at bay. After Vegeta was outclassed by Goku, he transformed into a big ape (via the power ball). Goku attempted to use the Spirit Bomb technique on Vegeta that King Kai had taught him, but was caught off guard by Vegeta's attack when he regained sight of the Solar Flare. Goku used up his last bit of strength and shot Vegeta in the right eye, blinding him. Then Vegeta started to crush Goku, weakened and injured, until Gohan and Krillin came to his rescue. Then, suddenly, Yajirobe appeared from nowhere and cut off Vegeta's tail, saving Goku and allowing Vegeta to return to normal. The evil Saiyan then got angry and attacked Gohan. Goku then gave Krillin the energy of the Spirit Bomb and threw it at Vegeta, but after that Vegeta got angry and hurt Gohan badly. Then Gohan looks at the energy ball and turns into a big ape. Vegeta blows up Gohan's tail and Gohan starts to return to normal, then he falls on Vegeta, defeating him. Vegeta is seriously injured and is forced to retreat but Krillin is close by and is about to kill Vegeta when Goku stops him. Vegeta then swears that he will kill them all and leaves in his space pod.
Saga Namek :
After successfully healing himself, Vegeta learned from Cui that Freezer was already on the planet Namek and hunting for Dragon Balls. The Saiyan headed to Namek, determined not to let Freezer wish for immortality before he could. Upon arriving, Vegeta had a confrontation with Cui after Freezer told him to eliminate the Saiyan. Believing that his rival was sure he could beat Vegeta, the Saiyan told him that his encounter with the Earth warriors had greatly increased his power and that he was going to blow Cui away. When Dodoria went after Gohan and Krillin and lost them, Vegeta appeared and managed to defeat him. The alien told the Saiyan the true circumstances of his planet's destruction in exchange for his life, but Vegeta was in no mood to forgive and reduced Dodoria to nothing. After that, he found a Namekian village and killed its inhabitants before taking a dragon ball and throwing it into a lake to hide it. This way, Freezer couldn't fulfill his wish and Vegeta could steal the other balls later.
The Saiyan prince then met Zarbon and the two fought, Vegeta managed to fight him easily at first. But then his opponent transformed and hit the Saiyan without much effort, before smashing him to the ground, creating a crater that quickly filled with water. Zarbon left Vegeta for dead and returned to Freezer to report his success, but his master was not happy as he wanted Vegeta to live so he could punish him for his betrayal and get all the information he needed about the Dragon Balls. A scout had reported to the alien master that a Namekian village had been destroyed and the Dragon Ball that was there was gone. Freezer had reasoned that Vegeta had hidden the ball and if Zarbon killed him, they had lost the only person who knew where to find it. Zarbon managed to find the defeated Saiyan Prince and took him back to the ship where he was placed in a rejuvenation chamber. But Vegeta managed to wake up at just the right time and created a diversion for Zarbon and Freezer, allowing him to take the Dragon Balls and throw them into the Namek campaign, then escape.
An enraged Freezer sent Zarbon to bring Vegeta back and he found the Saiyan with Krillin and Bulma, whom he had just run into. This time, Zarbon immediately transformed and attacked Vegeta, but this time, the Saiyan prince was able to easily deal with his foe thanks to the power increase he got from being beaten by Zarbon. Vegeta finally finished off his opponent by driving his fist into Zarbon's chest and fired a point blank shot into his chest, sending him into a watery grave at the bottom of the Namekian Sea. Vegeta demanded that Krillin hand over the Dragon Ball he had and, knowing he could not match the Saiyan prince in battle, he reluctantly handed it over. With six of the Dragon Balls in his possession, Vegeta went to find the last one, which he had hidden in the lake. On the way, he met Gohan, whom he punched in the stomach for everything he and his father had done to them. But when Vegeta returned to the lake, he found the Dragon Ball gone and realized that Gohan had taken it and made a fool of it. The Saiyan Prince dashed back to where Bulma and Krillin had put their stash and blew it to bits, only to find that they were already gone.
Vegeta
Saga Freezer :
After discovering that all his minions were now finished, Freezer furiously returned to his ship to remember his Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, Vegeta waited with Goku for him to heal, only to fall asleep as he was tired from all the battles he had to fight. It was then that Krillin and Trunks used the Dragon Balls to wish Piccolo back to Namek. But Vegeta interrupted them before they could make a third wish, having woken up and spotted Porunga, the Namekian dragon. He tried to get Dende to obtain dragon immortality, but before that wish could be fulfilled, Guru died, rendering the Dragon Balls useless. Vegeta was enraged and about to kill them for betraying him, but he stopped when Krillin saw that Freezer was right on top of them, who was demonstrating his high level of power by attacking, but the Saiyan prince was barely able to match him. Vegeta then ordered Freezer to transform, saying that Zarbon had mentioned that he could, since it wasn't a secret. Freezer did so and in his new form, Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan were no match for him. After Gohan attacked Freezer out of rage because he had injured Krillin, the warlord easily defeated him and asked Vegeta if he could help a helpless child.The Saiyan prince stepped back, frightened and slightly disgusted, as Piccolo arrived, whom Vegeta considered a mere wasted wish and wondered how a Namekian killed by Nappa could fight Freezer. However, Piccolo had merged with Nappa, greatly increasing his power and was able to match Freezer, prompting him to transform again. In his third form, he was again able to defeat them all easily and Gohan used his Bakuretsu Ranma to attack Freezer. However, he deflected it and Vegeta realized that at this point, Freezer could be too strong, even for him and Goku together. He found a way to reach the Super Saiyan level by having Krillin severely wound him, bringing him closer to life, and then having Dende heal him.
However, the plan didn't work and Freezer decided to transform into his final form, furious that Gohan had managed to challenge his third form. After transforming, Freezer killed Dende. Vegeta then confronted him, confident that his new power would allow him to win. However, after failing to land even a single blow, Vegeta attempts to kill Freezer with an explosion powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. Freezer, lets him blow it up before revealing that he has done no harm.
Freezer then tortures Vegeta, shooting his defeat to hurt his pride and get revenge for his betrayal. After doing this, he is about to finish him off until Goku arrives, finally healed. Vegeta brags about Goku's strength to Freezer before telling Goku that he must give in to his hatred to kill him.
However, Freezer, annoyed by Vegeta's speech, fired a death ray right into Vegeta's chest, striking the blow necessary to finish him off. Upon his death, the Saiyan prince told Goku, the last remaining pure-blooded Saiyan, about his past and their race, then begged him to avenge their people. After burying Vegeta, Goku swore to do as he asked and began to fight Freezer. However, the Saiyan Prince was brought back after wishing on Earth to bring back all those who had been killed by Freezer or his men, having apparently changed his ways since he no longer wanted to conquer or gain immortality, now obsessed with becoming stronger. However, although he was resurrected, it took many years for the Saiyan Prize to fully reform and an even longer time to begin fighting for those other than himself.
