It's possible. It's not like he's never done that before; Piccolo Daimao reduces Tien to an impotent bystander, Raditz makes a pit-stop to intimidate Piccolo on his way to Kame House, Nappa and Vegeta make a point of equating the Saibamen to Raditz, Vegeta suffers the Humiliation Conga multiple times on Namek.
Dabura even gets equated to Cell just in time for Majin Buu to roflstomp him. Unlike "He's more powerful than Majin Buu!" GT, Toriyama was fond of showing how obsolete the previous arc's villain was rather than just saying the new guy's tougher.

Super Perfect Cell was roughly even with Super Saiyan 1 Gohan, which implies Perfect Cell was substantially weaker than even that.

He was powerful enough to have a Beam Struggle with Gohan that Super Perfect Cell was slowly winning, but abruptly lost due to a distraction. This implies he was very close to Gohan in power.
Gohan, at the time, was Super Saiyan 2 - twice as powerful as Super Saiyan 1 - but only at 50% strength. Super Saiyan * 2 / 2 = Super Saiyan.

Try it like this:
[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Never underestimate the power of the]] [[strike:[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Japanese]]]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Human cold]]. It should work like that, I think.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariI thought SSJ 2 was ten times as strong as SSJ.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else...no. Not even Super Saiyan 3 is that strong.
Super Saiyan is a x50 multiplier. Super Saiyan 2 is x100, with Super Saiyan 3 at x400.

That.
Gohan wasn't weaker than Perfect Cell. He was paralyzed by unwillingness. Android 16 broke through that and gave him the will to fight, while the android's death also kicked him into Super Saiyan 2 - which was complete and absolute overkill, and it showed as Cell was hilariously impotent against him.
Even after Cell came back Super Perfect from his zenkai, SS 2 Gohan still had to be nerfed 50% via taking a bullet for Vegeta in order to have the climactic Beam Struggle the battle is most remembered for.

It is.
Re: King Cold. He may or may not have had other forms. Do remember that Friez is a mutant born of a mutant and created his forms to seal his power, and is stronger than Cold. For all we know, that first one is Cold's only form.
Re: Cell. I thought it was pretty obvious that Cell's survivability is due to Frieza (and maybe Cold). I remember making a post here about this in the first months of this thread, at least. Mostly about how great a writer Toriyama is for combining his concepts to create something like Cell.
Re: King Cold being wasted potetial. No, not really. Everything Cold could do was already done by Frieza and some characters only exist to further the plot. KC and Frieza were brought back purely to make Trunks seem strong and help to establish the Androids.
"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."The main reason KC feels like an aborted plot thread is because he's a completely unnecessary character. Frieza was already firmly established to be the Strongest in the Universe as well as the ruler of the Galactic Trade. If Frieza went to Earth solely to get slaughtered effortlessly and establish how powerful Trunks is, he could have done that himself.
And he's not just some Mook either, he's Frieza's father. That's meaningful. It qualifies him for Important Character status by default. Why would Toriyama introduce a brand new character for the purpose of having him do absolutely nothing of consequence and then die pointlessly?
There's nothing impressive about Trunks killing Frieza's father, firmly established to be weaker than him, once he's already killed Frieza. If Toriyama never meant to do anything with him, why does this character exist?
