Paragus (Nikon23's Extended Universe)

Paragus (パラガス) is is the father of Broly and the tertiary antagonist in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Overview
Paragus is based off the original Paragus from Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan. In his newer incarnation, Paragus appears to be much older than his original counterpart in the present day. However, Paragus’ design from forty years ago appears to be based off the design of the original present day Paragus.

Appearance
Like his alternate counterpart, Paragus is a tall and well-muscled Saiyan. However, Paragus appears much different than his counterpart, a fair complexion with a less pronounced forehead and smaller chin. He is also considerably older, even by Saiyan standards. While originally having spikey black hair that stood up with long bushy sideburns, and a well-groomed mustache (similar to his counterpart years after his exile), by the time he was rescued by Cheelai and Lemo, he aged considerably. He developed noticeable wrinkles with slightly darker skin (but nowhere near as dark as his counterparts) and gray hair while sporting a full beard. Also like his counterpart, he at some point lost his left eye with a long scar running down it.

Originally, he wore a standard black Saiyan armor with small yellow shoulder-padding and midsection. He also wore a blue legless bottom, white gloves, white boots with yellow tips, and long white cape with a big collar around his neck. He would also drape his tail loosely around his waist. When joining the Frieza Force, he wears a dark purple jumpsuit with a light purple robes flowing around his waist, white gloves and boots, and dons a new model Frieza Force armor that is white with green abdomen and shoulderpads. He also keeps his tail hanging loosely under his cloth and is shown wearing a mechanical belt, which contains the controller for Broly's shock-collar.

Personality
Paragus possessed a certain ambition while accompanying his son Broly. Originally he seemingly loved his son as his only offspring to the point of confronting King Vegeta, calling him out on his banishing of Broly purely out of jealousy. He even abandoned Planet Vegeta to rescue his son with the goal of taking him to a more hospitable planet. He also chose to remove Broly's tail due to feeling that Broly couldn't control the form very well. Later, between knowing that he could never return to Planet Vegeta after his treachery and having spent years trapped on Vampa, his feelings towards Broly became more self-serving in the single-minded ambition of revenge on King Vegeta, though he still cared about his son and also praised Broly for slaying a lot of Vampa Beetle when he found him, showing pride in him. His goal became so self-consuming that he spent all of his time with Broly training him into the ultimate warrior so that he would get his revenge. Just like his counterpart, he has little regard for the lives of others. He taught his son manners too to a certain extent.

Paragus also showed despair when it seemed Broly was losing, both because he was worried Broly would die and he was also coming to the realization that King Vegeta may have very well been correct, believing that Broly was becoming a danger to everyone. He appears to be a rather competent teacher, as he was able to teach his son how to properly use his power, as noted by Vegeta, and managed to turn his son into an extremely formidable fighter with impressive fighting skills, although this is also likely due to Broly's immense fighting capabilities.

Background
Paragus was a loyal military colonel of King Vegeta, until he was blessed with a son who had potential even greater than King Vegeta's son Prince Vegeta. However, King Vegeta became jealous of his potential, so he sent Broly to an outlying planet in a Saiyan space pod, and a furious Paragus betrayed King Vegeta and sought out his son to save him. Along with Beets, Paragus searched for his son on the stormy planet, Vampa, but they crash their ship and learned of the dangerous creatures that lived on the planet's surface. When Paragus and Beets finally found Broly and attempt to leave the planet, they realize the ship was beyond repair, leaving them marooned. To preserve their food supply, he kills Beets with a Ray Gun.

He would then spend his efforts on training Broly into becoming the ultimate warrior. At one point he shoots off Ba's ear, not liking Broly becoming so close with the beast. He would also remove Broly's tail at some point because Broly could not control himself when he transformed, and he was too dangerous.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly (Movie)
Paragus and his son were found by a platoon of Frieza's soldiers, who brought them to Frieza to be recruited. Upon meeting Frieza, he introduces himself and his son, explaining that he once cut off his tail due to him losing control of his power. This concerns Frieza so Paragus shows him a remote device that he uses that is able to send a bolt of electricity through the collar on his sons neck to rein him in. After hearing of the survival of King Vegeta's son, Paragus decided to go with Frieza to Earth to take revenge via his son Broly.

Shortly afterwards Broly begins to lose control when faced against Daigen in the cafeteria aboard the ship. Paragus appears and uses the device to stop Broly in his tracks but unbeknownst to Paragus, Cheelai steals the device from his pouch before Paragus heads off to see Frieza alone. The two make a deal that Paragus and Broly can exact their revenge on Vegeta but Goku must be left to Frieza.

Upon landing on Earth, he spots the two Saiyans, noticing Vegeta's likeness to the King and vows to make him pay for the sins of his father. He unleashes Broly on the two however he is shocked by Vegeta's power, startled to see his Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God transformations. When Vegeta appears to win the battle, Paragus falls to his knees in despair. He calls for his son to return and finally notices that the device to control him has gone. Broly gives in to his rage and loses control with Paragus explaining to Frieza that he appeared to be using the power of the Great Ape while retaining his human form.

As the battles continues and Goku switches in, Paragus begins to lose his sanity at the thought that Broly would be killed and his plans for revenge would be over, starting to think that King Vegeta might have been right about Broly being a threat to the universe. Paragus expresses hopelessness at seeing Super Saiyan Blue Goku overpower Broly in his Wrath State. He was later executed by Frieza via Death Beam in order to trigger Broly's Super Saiyan transformation. His remains were then vaporized by Broly's following attack.
