History
Born on the Saiyan home planet as the ruling prince of the entire race, Vegeta grew up in a life of constant combat. Unfortunately, he would find himself enslaved under the galactic conqueror, Frieza, who destroyed his homeworld and brought Saiyans everywhere to near extinction. Vegeta became one of Frieza's top soldiers, but after hearing about the Dragon Balls, he and his companion Nappa traveled to planet Earth to achieve immortality, but were stopped by Son Goku and his friends. Vegeta then tried to gather the Dragon Balls once again on the planet Namek, even allying himself with his former enemies, but ended up getting killed by Frieza. Fortunately, he was later resurrected. Now living on Earth, Vegeta has married and harbored a son, but hasn't let go of his Saiyan heritage. While he protects his new home, he is dedicated to a life of training, all to become a stronger warrior than his friendly rival, Goku.

Cameo Apperances
Vegeta made a cameo before the battle in Goku VS Superman, where he and the rest of the Z-Fighters can be seen watching news about Superman at Kame House. He boasts that he could kill Superman faster than he killed Shadow and later makes an insulted comment after Goku insulted his pride.
Two Vegetas were summoned alongside two Gokus by Shenron at the beginning of Gogeta VS Vegito so that the two pairs could fuse into the two Sayian fusions. Both Vegetas would tell the Goku that'd fuse into Gogeta to shut up after he made a comment on how he was taller than him.
