Warning: SPOILERS for Dragon Ball Super's MangaJust like with any Western comic book worth its salt, Dragon Ball became an absolutely dominant manga and anime franchise due to some legendary-quality villains among its roster. This is not just the usual rogues' gallery of nefarious players bent on world domination or personal vendettas, but rather, each of those in addition to desires for immortality or universal-scale conquest. As such these villains have scaled in threat potential and overall power rating alongside Goku as he began his quest in Dragon Ball, all the way through Dragon Ball Super and even GT.
