Would Cell be obedient to Dr. Gero?

[MasterVampire]

I think Gero would have to be VERY careful around Cell.

Not try to boss him around and maybe just play the proud father card.

[mAcChaos]

I want to say Gero wouldn't make himself an extreme nuisance to Cell and avoid getting killed.

But he did just that to 17 and 18, so...

To be fair, he was in a very stressful situation. His carefully laid plans had been ruined and he stood no chance against the Z-Fighters, who were literally knocking on his door at that very moment. So I can forgive the guy for getting anxious and ordering them around a bit too strongly, but even then, they were going to kill him regardless so maybe he didn't say anything that offended them anyway. I imagine that if he were hanging with Cell, who unlike the Androids, he knows doesn't hate him, he would be a bit more tactical with his wording.

That's true, he was pretty accomodating with #19, for instance.

Perfect Cell and under would respect him as Cell only had praise for Gero and I believe he would keep him around. Super Perfect Cell would kill him.

Why do you say that? Super Perfect Cell really wasn't very different from Perfect in terms of personality, he was just excited because he thought he could kill Gohan now.

Well, before it he wasn't raving about going from planet to planet and blowing them all up.

Before he came back, he couldn't have. He didn't have Instant Transmission then.

Immortal timeless creation. He could just launch himself in some direction in space and go to sleep

He could just fly from planet to planet. Remember he's part Freeza.

That'd take a long time. Also, he'd have a very hard time finding any planets in the vastness of space. Also, I don't remember anything about him being immortal, like Buu. Indeed, the fact that he's made up of DNA from saiyans, namekians, Freeza-clan-guys, and insects would suggest that he's not immortal.

Yeah, but starting from Earth, that would take foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Dragonball Earth is basically Tatooine. "If there's a bright center of the universe, you're on the planet that it's furthest from."

[singsing]

Oh, I guess it was never stated, I always just pictured and assumed the "perfect" model would be immortal like the cyborgs.

Do you know how many light years would take for him to go to planet to planet? Without a space ship, he can't go anywhere if he can't teleport. With Kami's ship, it took Bluma and Mr. Popo five seconds to go to Earth to Jupiter. From what we have seen in the DB series, characters never shown to fly planet to planet without a space ship.

Well I mean, most characters can't survive in space so I don't think we'd ever see them do it even if they were fast enough.

There's a type of narcissist who actually values their mother because, being a created being, they can't let themselves consider their creator as inferior to them. I don't remember if they view the mother as an extension of themselves or whether they admit she's worth something as a separate person, but it's interesting to consider because Cell is pretty fucking narcissistic.

But whichever way Cell views his, uh, male-bodied mother, he's not going to listen to him any more than a typical son. He won't ignore him, either: Cell always speaks highly of Gero. The power dynamics would be subtle and interesting.

Plus, Dr. Gero at that point believed he managed to control the Android's personalties until they snatched the controller from him. Which further added to his stress.

I believe the only time this sort of situation was addressed was during Cell's What-If in Supersonic Warriors, where Cell killed Dr. Gero due to not being interested in his goals.
