Come to think of it, if there were more Namekians like Nail and Piccolo, A super Namekian as powerful as even Super Saiyan three isn't out of the question.

They just have to both be capable of combat right? So no healers like Dende if I understand correctly.

If Dr. Gero had completed the Androids during the Saiyan Saga, the Androids would have slaughtered Earth's defenders much, much sooner. Trunks would never have existed.

As far as Goku being crippled, let us never forget the time Goku defeated Piccolo despite a gaping hole in his chest and all four limbs broken. Or, for that matter, the fact that the power gap between Goku and Gero is far greater than that between Tao Pai Pai and General Blue, the former of whom killed the latter with his tongue.

Prior to becoming an Android, I don't envy Dr. Gero's chances of assassinating "Dying of Heart Disease" Goku, let alone "Recuperating in the Hospital" Goku.

If I could ever make anything, I would want to make a show about DBZ characters doing normal things. It can literally make anything funny.

I'm gonna play an intentional Mary Sue, so my character will be the successor to Spudz (Part Namekian, Part Saiyan and Part Popo). Might even name him Marty Stu, too.

I'll probably make one of every race/gender combination. Male Majin was going to be the only one I had no interest in but after seeing you can turn one into Kaio, I know I'll be doing that.

Male Saiyan or Earthling will be my avatar, the remaining male and both females will be designed as allies, female Majin will be like a second main, then I'll use Namekians to create non-Namekian aliens and finally a male Majin as Kaio.

Wait, I forgot Freeza's clan. Well that'll just be a villain or some shit.

In response to why Gero didn't simply kill Goku in the hospital

Now i'm sure i'm completely wrong with the following assumption as i'm not the best person to ask on Dragonball related things but I always thought of it as Gero wanting to kill Goku at his best. If it were me i'd want my enemy to be at his strongest so that when I had him lying helpless at my feet, all hope of survival having fled his very being, I could look him in the eye and let him know that it was I who was the best. The satisfaction of watching the life fade from ones eyes would be, for lack of a better word, tainted in a way. Sure you'd have won, you'd have crushed their throat under the weight of your boot - or whatever footwear you happen to be wearing - but for the rest of your life there'd be a nagging shred of doubt eating away at the back of your mind. Did you really win? Did you truly crush your enemy or did you simply kill an injured and - comparative to Goku's full strength - helpless creature? No, you need to defeat them at their best just so there can be no doubt as to your victory. For it is not simply enough to defeat your opponent, you need to win.

I was looking at in an In-universe kind of way, not in the obvious answer way. Maybe Gero just locked himself out of his lab and by the time he got in, Goku was heading to Namek.

There is no in Universe justification. He could have simply sent older models. It wouldn't matter if they were stronger than Goku or not if his entire body was basically broken. Heck they could have gone and plant a powerful bomb or something.

A bomb probably wouldn't kill Goku, but I'm just trying to make a point that a lot of stuff was obviously chapter by chapter ideas instead of strict continuity focus.

No it's obviously only due to him locking himself out of his lab.

Saiyan, because they're the only race that matters! Namekian, because they're more powerful than Super Saiyans! Human, because I need to correct the canon's fallacious assertion that all humans are worthless! Frieza, because I want to explore new transformations as my power level increases! Majin, because...you know, I actually can't think of a facetious reason to play a Majin.

Prove to me that the Saiyans aren't the ones that matter the most by the end of the series. :p

Or rather, I guess the humans matter in a Morality Pet sort of way. The humans don't really do anything post Cell Saga, I think Tien cuts Buu in half, Hercule counts (though, only because Goku foolishly allowed Buu to live on 2-4 different occasions). Technically, a human is the reason why Super Buu even became a thing.

Nameless Namek was pretty strong for being an amnesiac who landed on Earth as a child. It says something about what ordinary warrior Nameks can achieve.

Majins are clearly the best possible race.

Gero wouldn't be able to kill Goku even if he was on his deathbed. As a child with a power level of 10 Goku was immune to bullets. In the Saiyan arc he was an adult with a base power "over 8000". So yeah, there was no killing him.

Why must everyone ruin my fun with things like "facts" and "logic"? I'm sticking by my door theory. Really it makes tons of sense. See it's like this, Gero was sitting in his lab eating tacos when he got he learned Goku was held up in a hospital. He thought, 'Yes! This is my chance to kill Goku! Never mind the fact that he can kick major ass with only his pinky!' So he was but a button push away from total victory when he realized he was out of milk and frozen pizzas. He needed those pizzas for his "Goku is dead" party. It'd take him about 20 minutes to get to the store and back so he said 'screw it' and went out. After getting stuck behind someone with 13 items in the 12 items or less line he made it home. "Yes, my victory is at hand! Soon I will—" A realization hit him, he forgot the keys to his lab! He searched his pockets but realized where they were, with the injured baby Okapi he'd been nursing back to health! He'd been using his keys to entertain it. Curse his weakness to small animals! So he got locked outside. Sure he could just destroy the door, but fixing those things wasn't cheap! And that's why he didn't try to kill Goku in the Hospital.

I very much doubt Gero had anything in his arsenal that had a snowball's chance in hell of actually scratching Goku at that time. It's easier to believe he just couldn't pull it off even then.

Customisation of all races/genders:

Namekians have less options than I thought. I don't think I'll use them that much, then.

From another forum I saw a female Saiyan that looked pretty cool. The eyes the Saiyan females get (which I don't think human females get) look pretty cool. Now I'm even more unsure what to make my main...
