Dr. Gero being a threat to the Universe
Is it possible that someone like Dr. Gero would merit the destructive attention of a destroyer god? I'm not too sure it would.

Re: Dr. Gero being a threat to the Universe
Gero's artificial constructs certainly jeopardised universal security. Cell was boasting about the prospect of destroying the Solar system with his Kamehameha during his final showdown against Gohan. If Freeza could warrant the attention of Beerus then why wouldn't this hermetic revenge driven mad scientist who is in over his head? In spite of the academic background and credentials, I doubt Gero was thinking much beyond assassinating the man who dashed his hopes of global conquest some 14 odd years ago as part of the RRA -- then once that's done maybe picking up where he left off afterwards.
The cyborgs and androids may have been self-contained to just Earth but Cell's blanket objective of terrorising anyone he could find would see him travelling across galaxies to sate his twisted desires.

That's true. Cell was a real threat to the cosmos.Lionel wrote: Tue Apr 14, 2020 8:23 pm Gero's artificial constructs certainly jeopardised universal security.

Yeah. Even long before Cell would have been awakened, 17 still got strong enough to hurt Jiren and take blows meant for SSB x20 KK Goku.
The potential of the Androids seems limitless. The destruction they might have caused could have been unfathomable.

Re: Dr. Gero being a threat to the Universe
Unless Gero did something to receive Beerus' ire, chances are that Beerus wouldn't care about what Gero does. Freeza's Empire implemented mass genocide & planetary subjugation across the North Galaxy but Beerus recruited Freeza as a servant rather than destroy him. As we've also seen in Trunks' timeline, Beerus remained asleep even when Earth was being terrorized by the Androids and during Babidi's journey to find energy in reviving Majin Boo, an act that included Kaioshin personally getting involved.

This was a mad scientist who built androids with infinite power and constructed a body for himself, as well as create a biological weapon from genetic material of the best fighters on Earth.
If he hadn't screwed himself over with choosing 17 and 18, he certainly would have presented a threat to the universe.

Re: Dr. Gero being a threat to the Universe
Super Perfect Cell had enough power to destroy an entire solar system, so yes the Gods eventually would've had to take matters into their own hands. If not Beerus, then Zeno and the Grand Priest for certain. Unlike Zamasu, Cell didn't know about them and wouldn't try to carefully remain in the shadows.
Shin could also potentially intervene, but I'm not sure how he'd do against Super Perfect Cell.

Akira Toriyama, DBS vol.4 joint interview with ToyotaroAt his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

Re: Dr. Gero being a threat to the Universe
On the topic of Cell, he also had regenerative abilities similar to Buu. With a few cells, no live specimens, and a few years worth of time, Gero managed to replicate something almost at the level as the manifestation of evil. Imagine what he could have done with a whole team and a planet's worth of resources.
My opinions suck. You should probably mute me to spare yourself having to see them.

Re: Dr. Gero being a threat to the Universe
Gero by himself was no direct threat to universe and Cell despite being his creation had his own mind and took own decisions so if gods were to intervene they would focus on Cell as Gero's main goal was to take revenge on Goku and not destroy entire universe. Even with Super 17 his goal remained to kill Goku and he didn't share his plans with Myuu about ruling entire universe. But even with Cell they didn't appear. It took villains like Buu or Baby for gods to show up. If Cell destroyed Earth and went for other planets then maybe they would. But could Cell actually be a threat to whole universe, gods included? I mean Frieza was also destroying planets and as we know Beerus didn't have any problem with that.
What bothers me is how would evil dragons behave if GT and Super were directly connected as just like shenron they would know about existence of Beerus. Even if they didn't really share knowledge with shenron, they would know about Beerus from BoG arc as they had all the knowledge about wishes made and knew all protagonists and villains from past. And in this case Beerus would obviously intervene as Omega shenron was going to wipe out universe with gods included and was biggest threat to universe so far.
