Saibamen: Saibamen are beings grown from seeds for the single purpose of fighting. They were introduced on Earth by the Saiyans, and they take orders from Nappa and Vegeta, who command them to fight Goku and the others.  With a strong fighting power of 1200 each, these six Saibamen were worthy opponents, but they were are defeated.

Guldo: Guldo is a short, pudgy, four-eyed creature. Physically, he is the weakest of the Ginyu Force.  He makes up for his lack of strength with his ability to manipulate space and time. Able to read minds, mentally control objects, and freeze time, Guldo can easily conquer a much stronger foe. 

Recoome: Recoome is a big, redheaded brute, possessing great strength but slow in speed. He is the second strongest on the Ginyu Force, second only to Captain Ginyu.  However, his slowness and great size allow him to be easily evaded. His special technique is the devastating "Recoome Breath Blast".

Burter: Burter is a giant, blue creature, larger than Recoome but surprisingly faster. He is one of the fastest beings alive in the universe, and can run and dodge at incredibly high speeds.  He is good friends with Jeice, and the two work as a team to fight against Goku, creating many attacks by linking their bodies.

Captain Ginyu: Captain Ginyu, with purple skin and black horns, is the strongest of the team, and its leader. He has the unique ability to switch bodies with his opponents. At one point, he switches bodies with Goku, giving him the advantage of fighting with Goku's powerful body and also of confusing Goku's friends. This capability allowed him to sneak-attack them, and they wondered why "Goku" was attackig them.  However, he is eventually defeated when he tries to change bodies with Vegeta, and Goku throws a frog in the way of the beam.  He accidentally and forever changed himself into a frog!

King Cold: King Cold is a massive, evil creature. He is Frieza's father, and is similar to Frieza in many ways. His brutality, desire to destroy the world, and his physical appearance and uniform makes the family resemblance to Frieza obvious. King Cold reconstructed Frieza, following the destruction of Namek when all believed Frieza to have been destroyed. With a new half-android and half-organic body, Frieza and his father headed to Earth! Both of them, however, were easily defeated by Trunks who came from the future.

Garlic Junior is a small creature who is both evil and intelligent. He seems like just a blue dwarf with big pointed ears, but he is an evil being with great mental power and plans to take over the universe. He transforms into a large monstrous tyrant, and fights Goku and the others. His biggest desire is to destroy the Namekian guardian of Earth, Kami. In this way, he can rule the Earth. Garlic's father had competed for the position of Earth guardian but he was stopped by Kami who discovered his evil intentions. Garlic Junior was granted immortality by the Eternal Dragon Shenron after collecting Earths seven Dragon Balls, but he is locked in the Dead Zone, a black void he created, by Gohan. Garlic Junior is from the Makyo Star, and his power level is dependent on the Makyo Star. When the Makyo Star nears Garlic Junior, his power is increased and he bursts forth from the Dead Zone to once again put Earth in peril.

Evil science genius Dr. Gero created his most destructive inventions, The Androids #16, #17, #18, #19, and #20. Putting Earth at peril, these androids have amazing strength and enjoy devastation.  Android #20 is actually Dr. Gero himself! To make himself more powerful, he instructs Android #19 to turn him into an android. Androids #19 and #20 are the first androids to come to Earth. They are defeated by Vegeta in an amazing show of strength, but it's not the end of Android #20 and the great threat to Earth. Android #20 has been programmed to repair himself, and more androids show up, #17 and #18.

Android #16: Android #16 is an experimental model. A big-muscled, red-haired man, Android #16 is out to destroy Goku. The strong, silent type, he doesn't say much, he is simply super strong. After being destroyed hands of Cell, Bulma collects the pieces of Android #16, reassembling and programming him to fight on the good side. He had told her to do this just before he was destroyed.

Android #18: Androids 17 and 18 are teenage Androids. They are the ones responsible for the future threat to the Earth, causing Trunks to travel through time to warn his friends. #18 is a blond girl. Although she never stops being evil, #18 later softens up a little, and eventually is married to Krillin.  Together they have a daughter, Maron.

Android #19: Android #19 is an overweight Android wearing a strange outfit. He is very excited about eliminating Goku and his friends and uses all the weapons he can. Androids #19 and #20 are the first Androids to come to Earth in the Cell Saga. They are defeated by Vegeta in an amazing show of strength, but it's not the end of Android #20 and the great threat to Earth. Android #20 has been programmed to repair himself, and more Androids show up.

The most dangerous of all Dr. Gero's creations, Cell, was created in Dr. Gero's lab as a genetic experiment. He has a self-destruct feature, a scorpion-like tail that opens up to absorb the energy of his opponents, and instructions to absorb the power of  the Androids which caused Dr. Gero's downfall. Cell contains the DNA of the mightiest warriors of the universe including Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta. Possessing the DNA of these great warriors, Cell is able to use any one of their attacks. Cell is an almost invincible being.

One of his greatest advantages is being able to regenerate himself at any given time from even the smallest cell. When the good guys believe Cell is destroyed, they find out that a brain cell has survived. From this single cell, Cell regenerates himself and appears out of nowhere, once again threatening Earth. One of Cell's only weak points is that his energy is infinite. He gains power by draining the energy of his enemies using his tai. Cell has three forms: the imperfect form in which we first see him, the second stage where he is ugly and rather deformed with a strange voice, and the final or Perfect Cell, who actually doesn't look too bad. He reaches Cell Stage Two after absorbing Android 17, and when Android 18 is consumed, Cell changes into his third and most powerful form; Perfect Cell. In this form, Cell creates smaller versions of himself that attack the Z Fighters.  Cell is eventually defeated by Gohan when they both fire Kamehameha waves, constantly increasing the power until Cell's isn't strong enough and he is consumed in a violent explosion.
