* ''[[WebVideo/WhatIfCoolerWasCanon What If COOLER Was CANON?]]'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7Kr51rVELA link]]): [[Characters/DragonBallCooler Cooler]], [[Characters/DragonBallFrieza Frieza]]'s older brother, is imagined here as a recurring threat to the Z-Fighters throughout their adventures. When Cooler was passed over by King Cold for Emperor in favor of Frieza, Cooler struck out on his own and created his own empire by enslaving and destroying planets. When he hears of the Dragon Balls on Namek, Cooler invades the planet, [[CainAndAbel murders Frieza]], and tries to steal the Dragon Balls; upon learning they are useless, Cooler destroys Namek and its population on a whim. Next targeting Earth, Cooler wipes out cities and enslaves millions of humans to force them to help him search for Earth's Dragon Balls, and he kills [[Characters/DragonBallSonGohan Gohan]] when the boy comes against him. Cooler would return alongside a resurrected Frieza multiple times in the future, when they would destroy multiple planets in sparring matches; try to destroy Earth out of spite; and doom multiple universes to destruction to obtain the Super Dragon Balls for themselves.

* ''Fanfic/InPursuitOfVengeance'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11434583 link]]): [[Characters/DragonBallFrieza Frieza]] proves to be just as vile as his canon counterpart. Having previously wiped out almost all of the Saiyan race out of fear of rebellion, Frieza later finds out that Raditz purged everybody on Earth and forcibly brought Goku to the organization. Viewing Goku as an opportunity to tear down Vegeta's intended rebellion before it starts, Frieza tricks Goku into purging an innocent alien race before agreeing to train Goku for the sake of having him kill Raditz, [[ColdBloodedTorture repeatedly bringing Goku to near death in the process]]. To keep Goku in line after realizing that torture won't break him, Frieza kills innocents right in front of Goku to punish him, such as [[BadBoss killing a loyal scientist of his]] just because Goku was forming a bond with him, and destroying a planet that Goku refused to purge, mocking Goku for being the cause of it. Upon finding out that Goku, Vegeta, and Nappa have went to Namek underneath his nose to betray Frieza, he orders the Ginyu Force to kill Nappa, bring Goku and Vegeta to him, and to wipe out every Namekian for "harboring traitors".

Goku Black and Future Zamasu kill Gowasu, in the hopes that Present Zamasu and Decraf would blame each other and then turn on one another.

When opposed by Present Zamasu and Decraf, Goku Black and Future Zamasu offers this Zamasu a WeCanRuleTogether scenario, and when that is rejected attempt to murder Present Zamasu and Decraf for daring to resist.
** ''Fanfic/WhatIfFriezaTurnedGood'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJptOW9rScU link]]): [[CardCarryingVillain Trogen]] is the third son of King Cold, created after the latter deemed his first two sons to be failures.

* ''[[Fanfic/DBZPerfectFuture Perfect Future]]'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11962594 link]]): The [[VillainProtagonist Future]] incarnation of [[Characters/DragonBallCell Cell]] becomes far more of a threat than [[Characters/DragonBallFutureTrunksTimeline his canon counterpart]].
